Tony Finch might know. At a guess, to ensure it is run at least once - even when version.h already exists. When originally written there was only version.h ; version.sh was added later. Possibly we could use a FRC: target, if the above guess is right. We could use .PHONEY in gnu make, but it is not portable so would prefer not. -- Cheers, Jeremy -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
