This is for human consumption and, as you point out below, has changed

missing from GRASS GIS 7.0.0RC1 as I think it should be before the
license?

Yup - they all have the version in the first line, bur RC1 has it not -
I think this is a bug?
Thanks,

I know that in the file
,
| GRASS_BASE_DIRECTORY/etc/VERSIONNUMBER
`
the version number is stored, but I have two questions:
1) is this the same between systems (I saw it in Mac Linux and Windows)?
2) I assume the location of this file is very un-likely to change?
3) can the internal structure of the GDRASS_BASE_DIRECTORY be configured
during the build process (particularly the bin/ and the location of
VERSIONNUMBER), and if yes, how can I obtain the location of these folders?
So: would there be any downside in just reading this file to determine
the version of GRASS GIS, as the grass startup script seems to be
reading from that file as well?
Thanks,

--config does not work for 64.
unfortunately not - but one could always make an exception for 64.
For 70 it does not give version, only revision (of library I think). We
should probably change the format to be more parseable. The line order is
really not stable, I'm not sure what other do.
$ grass71 --config
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

}}}
70 --help has actually version number on the first line as 64 --version has
but 64 --help does not have the version, except for usage (at least the one
from Ubuntu package).
I'm afraid we have to implement something better. What would it be?
A parsable format would be really nice here, as most of the information
needed is here.
Some standard fields as
- MAJOR version (e.g. 7)
- MINOR version (e.g. 1)
- PATCH version (e.g. 0)
- version EXTENSION (e.g. alpha)
- REVISION
- PLATFORM (e.g. x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)
- grass BASE directory (e.g.
/home/vasek/dev/grass/gcc_trunk/dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) (I
assume the bin/ is in the base directory?)
- the CONFIGURE options - possibly split into separate and multiple
entries
A format like the Debian Control Files Syntax [1], which is defined and
easily parsable from different languages, would be the easiest.
I don't know if something like this can be still incorporated into
7.0.0?
This would be really nice and useful.
Thanks,
Rainer
