No ... it's not a must. It's usual style doing so. And further there is no rule or format, which describes how a version info must be shown. Here some examples: - uname --version: uname (coreutils) 5.2.1 Written by David MacKenzie. Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. - kwrite --version Qt: 3.3.3 KDE: 3.3.0 KWrite: 4.3 - mozilla --version Mozilla 1.7.2, Copyright (c) 2003-2004 mozilla.org, build 2004090600 E.g. for kwrite you will have problems if you try to extract the version number from the output. I guess you will get the version of QT instead of kwrite. And further e.g. mozilla needs a X Display. Otherwhise no information is shown ! - To make it short. The only possible solutions for this bug are: a) Use the informations provided by the OS depending package manager (as e.g. apt, rpm, msi database etcpp) ... b) Parse the bootstraprc from the office to find out the major/minor/patch info. (e.g. 645m52) ... c) Use soffice --help (as it shows any version number, which should be good enough to be interpreted by humans not programs but is not guaranteed as a stable feature) ... or d) point us to a RFE or specification, which describes the format and rules around versions, so we can implement it. Last but not least: I'm pretty sure that there is no way to guarantee that a shown version number can be used directly as a part of an URL to be able to download the right update. That would require a framework, where web servers / mirrors / developers / vendors work together. And especialy on OOo I dont see that currently. BTW: Please accept the shown solutions a-c) or came back with any informations regarding to d). Regards Andreas - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Hi cyb!
Anyway, if such an enhancement would be made - and I think it would be a very
useful one - it would be nice to be able to get the implementation exposed as
an API object, so that API developers can get the version number as well
(without needing to run ./soffice -v in the shell).
This discussion was done some times before on OOo. There wont be any support
for versions on the API. The API itself is stable and you have to check if an
interface is supported by the created API object before you use it. So you dont
need any version information.
An example:
The implementation of css.frame.Frame got's a new interface named css.util.
XCloseable. It must be used instead of XComponent.dispose() ... if it exists.
XCloseable xClose = (XCloseable)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XCloseable.class,
xFrame);
if (xClose != null)
xClose.close(false);
else
{
XComponent xDispose = (XComponent)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XComponent.class,
xFrame);
if (xDispose != null)
xDispose.dispose();
else
throw Exception(cant close.);
}
In this case the version of the office doesnt help you. Because it's possible
to move
the new implementation of css.frame.Frame to an older version ! That's possible
because it's an UNO component, which can be applied to any office version ...
where it finds the right environment.
So the version of an office cant be applied to the interface of an API object.
You
can extend the office with any UNO component you like and it's not related to
the
version of the office.
Regards
Andreas

If you have any pointers to any standards requiring it, please provide these. Obviously these standards would also need to define the formatting, to enable applications to provide a stable and common interface. As OOo is a bundle of packages, of which many are optional and depending on the brand and distribution, just taking the bundles version number for updating to the latest version is IMO wrong. The right way is, to ensure all latest packages to be installed. This works via the version recorded in the packages (names). OOos development is continuing and it will eventually become a bundle of UNO components, not necessarily delivering an soffice.bin executable anymore, but relying on the uno executeable instead. This means, that there will not even be a place anymore, where we could place the bundles version number. My Linux box just says: [EMAIL PROTECTED] uname -a Linux localhost 2.6.11-1-686 #1 Mon Jun 20 22:00:38 MDT 2005 i686 GNU/Linux Trying another box gives: localhost /home/kr uname -a Linux localhost 2.4.27 #16 SMP Tue Oct 19 14:04:28 CEST 2004 i686 unknown so, what versions of Linux do I have here ? And what do I have to upgrade to? :-) - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

UNO is yet another thing which should also get its own version number. Customized builds like those of Debian, Novell Ximian etc. would just give it their own version number. Would it really be that hard to implement -v (--version)? Easiest would be to simply have a text file coming along with OOo containing the version number.

Each of them deliver this command line info (some hacker and m$ don't use it) You are right: 1.6.1 OR 1.9.m113 are the IDs of the _bundle_ soffice soofice is the 'front end'. This IDs are used as IDs for distribution (look on a mirror for OOo) and to announce a new release of the 'bundle' (a salesmen cannot sell without saying 'New version xx'). Developers have for each part a own release-id. And, please not a new invention: We need simply the id usable to get the new release without manually editing the URL. cyb's brandmarked is for my English a good apt quotation. And, look on the response soffice -h: The first line tells 1.9.113, inconsistent is the missing 1.4.1 (writes '645m52') Sorry for the stress: I should reduce the output using: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ uname -r #not -a = all 2.6.11.10-ARCH and your box says then 2.6.11-1 and 2.4.27 (hmm, is this a REF to my 'very oldest UNIX/Linux boc'? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

So, it is hard to supply that info :-(. You may want to compare this to not having a version number of your Linux (SuSE vs. RedHat vs. Debian vs. etc.). OOo can and actually gets build in various brands and flavors, e.g. - StarOffice - StarSuite - Sun's OOo build - Debian's OOo build - Novells OOo build etc. So, before digging any deeper, what for is the version number needed you are asking for? Could you provide a pointer to the auto-update tool, which seems to need it? Thanks. Kay - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

This part can be substituted and 30 min later you may working and testing with a new release. My update tool asks after login the mirror for his version and compares this with my current version and -if higher- installs it automatically. BTW my ARCH Linux has this feature, most days programs are updated, only for OOo I use the earliest mirror with my own program. Maybe you should discus this item with a unix-speaking friend, it is easy for him. The effort needed to organize the -v option is about 15 minutes, because the infrastructure is here and the id is known during preparing a release.
