Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: MonetDB - general Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Stefan de Konink (skinkie) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Add CVS version information too all versions Initial Comment: I think it would be a great improvement if the version string (in svn it is usually named the rXXXX) plus compilation date after the actual named version. In this case when bugs are reported it is clear to see if the reported is using the latest CVS version; the assignee knows what version of the code is running. There are reasons to say that a user should always upgrade to cvs head, for me this would mean that after every problem I find I need to spend 30 minutes on upgrading the code to find it out. Might be better to just report the issue, and get it marked as fixed, if the problem is already fixed. This will probably also make a difference for users (like me) that are compiling new code and expect a new version. If they see that the actual revision/date the code was changed for a specific subpart has not been changed between releases this could point out that something went wrong with the compilation and the user might be still running an older version. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sjoerd Mullender (sjoerd) Date: 2008-10-21 23:16 Message: Adding the CVS version information is not feasible: every source file has its own CVS version number and there are hundreds of source files. In CVS there is no such thing as a global version. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Stefan de Konink (skinkie) Date: 2008-10-21 22:39 Message: MonetDB server v5.7.0 (32-bit), based on kernel v1.25.0 (32-bit oids) Copyright (c) 1993-July 2008 CWI Copyright (c) August 2008- MonetDB B.V., all rights reserved Visit http://monetdb.cwi.nl/ for further information Configured for prefix: /opt/monetdb Libraries: libpcre: 7.8 2008-09-05 (compiled with 7.8) openssl: OpenSSL 0.9.8i 15 Sep 2008 (compiled with OpenSSL 0.9.8i 15 Sep 2008) Compiled by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Compilation: gcc -Wall -Wextra -std=c99 -g -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -Werror -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wundef -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 Linking : /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld This would still not allow you to say what CVS I'm running night?
