> Accessing a remote URL in the version script seems like a bad idea to me.
I aggree, but I'm unsure how to propperly address the issue. The problem is that a plain "git pull" does not update tags, so if you have an older clone you allways updated via git pull, you end up with a version number based on an older tag. The idea behind that fetch command is to fail silently after taking a maximum of 10 seconds to download the latest tags. libav (and a lot of other project aswell) just ignores that issue and uses a plain git describe --tags --always. > - Hendrik > _______________________________________________ > ffmpeg-devel mailing list > ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org > http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel >
