However, if you keep the trunk version the same as the released

I'm gonna wade in on this thread ONE time only...
This is a false dilemma. You're insisting on using the version to
distinguish trunk-run-from-svn vs released versions. But you (should)
already know you're running from trunk vs running on released
versions. Not only that, you're also running on every commit made to
trunk. Don't you want to distinguish them from each other?. If you do,
use svn to your advantage and tack it onto the version:
"#{current_version_or_trunk_or_whatever}.r#{`svnversion .`}"
Eric pointed out that multiruby uses the install directory names to
distinguish the versions:
% ls ~/.multiruby/install/
1.8.6-p287 1.8.6-p368 1.8.7-p160 1.8.7-p72 1.9.1-p129
and that is the only thing it uses to report versions on runs. It
doesn't have to be fancier than that. If I were to extend multiruby to
run on multiple commits on trunk, I'd use the snippet above to report
the exact commit.
Just because something makes sense in your development model doesn't
mean it makes sense in ours. Right before a release, we look at the
changelog from the last release to the head of trunk and determine
what sort of version bump it needs (major/minor/bug). Doing more than
that is not a good use of our time. Changing the version TWICE for
every release makes as much sense as knees on a fish to us.
Finally, I meant what I said about one time only. I'm not going to
respond to anything else on this thread. I've been watching it go by
and the only word that comes to mind consistently is "mentarbation".
Please. Drop it. Let's get on to more useful things.
