Forward to RT so a ticket is opened. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Reini Urban <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 9:52 AM Subject: .parrot_current_rev To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The file .parrot_current_rev is missing in the Release, and also the revision is nowhere mentioned in any Release Note, not the ChangeLog and not in news. This is annoying, because you don't know if a particular bugfix is included or not. Worse, the logic the set the current revision for svn updates is wrong. (NotMuch brought this up yesterday on #parrot) .parrot_current_rev is not updated on a svn up, it is just the cache for $Parrot::Revision::current, but the cache is not ensured to be cleared when doing a Configure.pl. Only a make realclean will get you a correct revision in bugreports. Configure should enforce a fresh cache update if there's a .svn subdir available, otherwise you'll get false bugreports. -- Reini Urban -- Will "Coke" Coleda
