How to refer to version name and date in package documentation?

Hello Steve, All! In my build package I want to refer to latest version number and date of the package. For my own private packages I use CVS keywords $Name and $Date. It involves running cvs tag NAME cvs update -r NAME -kv prior to building the package. We agreed a while back that this process I use does not suit the needs of the package release engineer. Now my question: How do I maintain synchronisity between version number and version date between documentation, Makefile, and sources? What's worse: Package Release Engineer controls version number in Makefile Package build process controls date of package release. Developer/Maintainer needs to keep version number and date up-to-date in elisp and texi sources. This can't work. What can we do? -- Adrian Aichner mailto:adrian＠xemacs.org http://www.xemacs.org/
