Everybody needs a subversion client to compile from repository, but not every one uses "svn" (where svnversion comes from) for that purpose. For instance under Windows I'm using the "TortoiseSVN" (which has SubWCrev AFAIK). However,... for a officially released source code package we don't need that mechanism, since you can pack an appropriate svnrev.h (or whatever) which contains (or makes use) only of the real (official) version number (i.e. 0.5.4)... without any revision number. We don't have official releases such often, do we? So a little handwork don't matters... ;-) > > > > No,...

And even if someone really copies the source files by hand with a web(svn)browser from the repository he would be fine with the dummy svnrev.h which defaults to 0. ;-) ciao Ralph ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
