Currently it is quite a time consuming effort to make sure that all the
different ooRexx builds on
all of the different operating systems have been built using the latest svn
revision.
It would be of great help in such situations, if it became possible to learn
the (svn) revision
number the current running ooRexx interpreter got built, something like:
"rexx -v" on the command line may append the svn revision number, e.g.
Open Object Rexx Version 5.0.0 - Internal Test Version - svn11550
or substituting it for the "revision" part of the ooRexx version number
Open Object Rexx Version 5.0.11550 - Intrenal Test Version
Open Object Rexx Version 5.0.svn11550 - Internal Test Version
Also from within ooRexx this piece of information would proof helpful and help
save time! Maybe
something like:
"parse source s; say s" yielding: "REXX-ooRexx_5.0.11550(MT)_32-bit 6.05
29 Nov 2018"
"say .rexxinfo~revision" yielding "11550" or having a totally new .rexxinfo
entry like
"svn.revision"
*Any* solution to this problem would help save a lot of time and effort at
times! (Also in case of
error reports the svn revision might help to determine whether the error was
already resolved or not.)
---rony
P.S.: This might be even more important in the future, when different ooRexx
interpreters execute on
the same machine from different sources. Determining the exact (svn) revision
of each of the ooRexx
interpreters on a single system may become necessary for maintenance purposes.
