Anyway, the version string in the configure is pretty useless: it appears only in the configure help and in some comments, so I wouldn't consider it a critical issue. IMHO the best solution is to add a simple code in autoconf/bootstrap to automatically re-generate both the VERSION and the configure files, depening on the version string defined in autoconf/configure.ac. In this way we could simply remove VERSION and configure from the svn repository, since they'll be re-generated automatically as an initial build step. -Andrea ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
