I introduce automatic revision number storing to eliminate the problem we had checking which version user used reporting the problem and to verify the final binaries. Personally I'm finding it very usable and I can easy confirm the version used by user. F.e. see my recent message to Phil. Believe me that it helps and safe time. Unfortunately keyword fields are not resolved when you download tarball directly from SVN. We can change hbpp to ignore missing keywords and always generate hbverbld.h file. But in such case we will have binaries without revision number. We can also make trick and add hbverbld.h to SVN. In such case it will be periodically updated if developer makes clean build before commit though it will always have revision number one less then the user commit so it may introduce more confusions then help. I'd prefer <unknown> as revision number instead of wrong number. If you find it useful then I can change hbpp to ignore unexpanded keywords and replace them by sth like "<unknown>". best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
