Slightly different take on this. I feel that it's a useful entity to have, especially once the trunk has moved to having a version number that's just SVN-YYYYMMDD which tells you nothing, unless you carry around the dates of all the releases in your head. I've often thought that something along the "git describe" format lines might be a better way to label the deelopment series, which for LFS might be expressed as milestone-commit_ahead_of_milestone-DATE though I'm not sure how you get the commit_ahead_of_milestone (or ahead of known tag) value in SVN-land. Just my thr'pen'th. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
