That's why you should use fppkg, and not fpmake directly. (fppkg is in this case only a wrapper, compiling fpmake when necessary and adding default parameters from it's configuration file to fpmake) With fppkg -v you can see how fppkg calls fpmake. > I was just about to comment that it would be nice if we could see what > version of the package we have installed, then I saw the fpunit.conf > file which gives all the details, including a nice checksum. :-) > Cool.

If uses the same algorithm as Fedora uses for all their packages. And you can imagine how many different version-number-systems there are for all those packages. ;) In you care the version-number should be: 0.7.166-g010ab. A subversion-version could be something like (see the lnet package) x.y.z-rxxxx Joost. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
