Yes, I agree. We can either tag it with the arbitrary build number (what most projects do), or pull the rev number from SVN (almost impossible to fake). The reason most projects go with the tag approach is that it keeps a running history of all successful builds that you can then just pluck out

I am responding on the dev list too :-) There's two things going on: 1) An automated build numbering -- and any build numbering for that matter -- isn't needed for official distributions. All you need is the X.Y.Z scheme where X=major,Y=minor,Z=revision versions. 2) You are actually using the
