Hi Uday, It's a bootstrap problem: version.txt is generated relatively late by a make rule. However vm-version.el is required by vm-build.el which is needed earlier at configure time. (Probably it would be good to verify that both lisp/version.txt and info/version.texi are included in the tarball of the next release.) > I am also not sure that returning nil after error is good enough. > Isn't vm-version supposed to be a string? Normally yes, but since the condition-case is only needed to circumvent above-mentioned problem, nil should be good enough here. The vm-version variable is not used by vm-build.el. (It shouldn't harm to return a string like "undefined" though.)
