Kevin Ballard commented on THRIFT-40:
-------------------------------------
As I mentioned earlier, both macports and git (which are autoconf-based
projects) have configure.ac pull in the version from an external source. I
don't see the point in making configure.ac embed the raw string and having
something else have to parse that file when it really is simpler to just have a
VERSION file.
In any case, your patch would be acceptable. I should point out that if the
generated version.h file is identical to the old one, you don't bother rm'ing
the tempfile.
