Only, the CHANGELOG is not installed. Since I often say svn up, to see what
happened recently, but sometimes decide not to build a new axiom, I do not know
anymore what exact version of axiom I am using.
People installing a binary of axiom from MathAction or via debian have even
less possibility to tell us what version they are using.
So, maybe we could use
YY.MM.branch.revision-number
For example,
Version: 7.06.wh-sandbox.607
or perhaps
Version: June 2007, wh-sandbox 607
instead of
> Version: Axiom (May 2007)
(I don't see a point in repeating "Axiom")
Curiously, my wh-sandbox gives
Version: Axiom build-improvements branch 2006-11-26
which is nonsense.
