Bryan Duxbury commented on THRIFT-6:
------------------------------------
Roger - thanks for putting the work in to investigate.
I think that we should start creating tickets to harmonize management of the
version number. Ideally, we'd just maintain the number in Makefile.am; if
someone with more autoconf/make experience can make a make target that can be
run to print out the version, then I think it'd be easy to integrate that with
Ruby and Java, for instance.
As far as the point you raised about the version number style, I'm in favor of
trunk having the -dev suffix, so I think we should allow a string at the end of
the version. I'm not sure that the "-dev" needs to make it into every spot
where we have a version number, though, so I don't think we need to reinvent
any wheels there.

> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
> Assignee: Roger Meier
>
> Right now it's impossible to tell which version of Thrift you have installed.
> If you're depending on features that have recently been added (and that
> subtly don't exist), you can spend a lot of time chasing your tail trying to
> figure out what the problem is.
> This may be something that has to be implemented piecemeal on each client
> library (ruby gem, java classes, etc). Thoughts?
> While we're at it, let's add a --version switch or something to the compiler
> so you know what version of stuff you're actually generating.
