I am more concerned if version.C-tmp will be changed and may appear in every 'svn ci'. > Also to have the revison number tell the truth you have to rerun > svnversion on all rebuilds. What do you mean? The revision number will reflect the checked-out revision, and that is the one to go to the about box... Bo
