The "Thou Shalt Not Top-Post" mention is actually already on page 14 =)

I could settle for a picture of you signing a copy. :-)

curl --version to show Release-Date: ?

2017-05-12 Thread Daniel Stenberg 

Hi all,

I've submitted PR #1474 [1] that introduces a new line in curl' --version 
output, called "Release-Date:".


It shows the date defined in the public curl headers named LIBCURL_TIMESTAMP 
which is set by the script that builds the release tarball. (It also changes 
the format of that define to the simpler -MM-DD format.)


While this is a tool feature, I mention it here on the libcurl list since I 
figure there will be one or two of you here that might get affected and have 
some ideas/feedback on the exact procedure here.


This new logic also allows builders of curl to define CURL_PATCHSTAMP to a 
date (in the same format) and then the Release-Date: line will include an 
extra "security patched" date. That could then be used by builders who apply 
patches to older versions to still show users something about what the curl 
executable contains.


Doing "curl --version" with this patch on code from git makes it say:
 "Release-Date: [unreleased]"

Thoughts?
