It is used and very much useful :-) The nightly builds automatically check out the latest source and produce snapshots that are properly versioned, both in the resulting source .tar.gz file name and in the binaries. I find that much more useful and reliable than overwriting the same .tar.gz source archive every day with different content. These snapshots are getting used elsewhere, for example MeeGo. "Real" releases are tagged, in which case the automatically generated version is created without the git hashes inside. That this automatism doesn't work for detached heads is a bug that I'll fix. -------- Product: SyncEvolution Component: SyncEvolution MeeGo Release: unspecified Severity: normal Priority: Medium Keywords: Status: ASSIGNED Who: [email protected] Assigned To: [email protected] Target Build: --- Flags: Changed: Priority Status CC AssignedTo -------- https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=20093 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.meego.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.
