May I ask what other uses do you have in mind for VERSION? Do you
think they could not benefit too from having a more accurate
version (or even that it will have a negative impact)?
I have several makefiles and install files that take the version
number as an argument - it's been a giant error-prone pain to do
this, and Andrei suggested a single VERSION file to take its place.
And you use these only when releasing or in your daily routine too?
Since betas are starting to flowing, it will be a good oportunity to do
this. So any input for me to know how to do it in a way that it works
for everyone would be appreciated. Or is there no interest at all on
having a proper version information in the binary...
If you only want it in the binary, then put it in a .h file. VERSION is used for
other things as well as generating binaries - that's the whole point of it. It's
not scriptable if I have to do it by hand each time.
