Having looked a bit more at Parrot::Revision and the instances where it is used, I *think* we can make it go away completely, at least as a separate module, and incorporate its functionality within config/auto/revision.pm.
Most of the files in which it is used are the tests which I myself wrote to test it :-) [li11-226:parrot] 508 $ fns . | xargs egrep -l 'Parrot(\/|::)Revision' ./tools/build/revision_c.pl ./lib/Parrot/Revision.pm ./t/configure/018-revision.t ./t/configure/017-revision_no_DEVELOPING.t ./t/postconfigure/04-revision.t ./t/postconfigure/03-revision_no_DEVELOPING.t ./t/distro/file_metadata.t ./t/steps/auto_revision-01.t ./config/auto/revision.pm ./MANIFEST The files which we will have to look more closely at are: ./tools/build/revision_c.pl ./t/distro/file_metadata.t The question I would have is: What is the functionality of src/revision.c -- the file written by tools/build/revision_c.pl when the latter script is invoked by 'make'? kid51
