What if a port doesn't have a version

2008-10-27 Thread matt donovan
I am writing a port for cinelerra and to grab the source you must get it
from the git repo that they have. so the software doesn't have a version so
to speak.

Should I use the version from the installed version after I install
cinelerra for the portversion and just tar it up?

Create your own tarball and give it a version which is a date- 
timestamp like 20081027...

Or use the revision control's revision number.


That works well with things like Subversion which ensure that the  
revision number is monotonically increasing.  My understanding of  
git is that it favors decentralized workareas or repositories without  
a project-wide unique version number, and it's revisions look like  
commit c82a22c39cbc32576f64f5c6b3f24b99ea8149c7 in the logs, which  
do not compare sensibly when considered as numbers.

ENOCLUE about git. It may well be that my suggestion does not apply to
this particular RCS. In this case, sorry for the noise :)

Thank you for giving suggestions I'll try making my own tarball and adding
the date to it.
