Ah, OK, hadn't thought of that (I like a .deb myself :-) ). Makes sense. Is it possible to use a revision number per release branch? eg. 19r1, 19r2, etc. Still, either way might be good to find a way to mark the version (and other build metadata) in the userdir somehow. Without parsing log files, etc. Best wishes, Neil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
