Currently it is quite a time consuming effort to make sure that all the different ooRexx builds on all of the different operating systems have been built using the latest svn revision.
It would be of great help in such situations, if it became possible to learn the (svn) revision number the current running ooRexx interpreter got built, something like: "rexx -v" on the command line may append the svn revision number, e.g. Open Object Rexx Version 5.0.0 - Internal Test Version - svn11550 or substituting it for the "revision" part of the ooRexx version number Open Object Rexx Version 5.0.11550 - Intrenal Test Version Open Object Rexx Version 5.0.svn11550 - Internal Test Version Also from within ooRexx this piece of information would proof helpful and help save time! Maybe something like: "parse source s; say s" yielding: "REXX-ooRexx_5.0.11550(MT)_32-bit 6.05 29 Nov 2018" "say .rexxinfo~revision" yielding "11550" or having a totally new .rexxinfo entry like "svn.revision" *Any* solution to this problem would help save a lot of time and effort at times! (Also in case of error reports the svn revision might help to determine whether the error was already resolved or not.) ---rony P.S.: This might be even more important in the future, when different ooRexx interpreters execute on the same machine from different sources. Determining the exact (svn) revision of each of the ooRexx interpreters on a single system may become necessary for maintenance purposes.
