Or rather than the .version file, Brett Neumeier gave me the idea that if we use the .plan and .project files we can use the "pinky" command from coreutils to query this data easily. Also, if there is more info than simply the version, we can echo that to the .project file as well. For instance, it might be useful to also echo the names of patches applied: eric:~$ pinky -l openssl Login name: openssl In real life: OpenSSL Directory: /usr/src/openssl Shell: /bin/bash Project: openssl-0.9.8h openssl-0.9.8g-fix_manpages-1.patch eric:~$ Cheers, -Eric -- Eric Herman, Software Developer Sun MySQL www.mysql.com Mobile: +31 62 071 9662 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
