Let us know if you have any pointers on how to do this in an autoconf/automake-friendly way. Most times when I see something like this, the code to update the revision is buried deep inside some script or Makefile, or it only works from a fresh checkout. We could add "$Rev$" to the banner (and enable that keyword in the SVN properties), but that doesn't catch changes made to shared files (e.g. the core megatec protocol functions), since it only increments when the file with the keyword is changed. -- - Charles Lepple _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
