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

Let me preface this by saying that I don't think I totally understand what you are trying to do here. |--==> "APA" == Adrian Aichner <adrian(a)xemacs.org&gt; writes: APA> Hello Steve, All!

Not sure, but maybe this will help: --- APA> What's worse: APA> Package Release Engineer controls version number in Makefile This shouldn't be a problem at all. Don't forget that as a package maintainer, Adrian, you only need to worry about $AUTHOR_VERSION, not $VERSION. APA> Package build process controls date of package release. What's wrong with this?

Well, possibly (hopefully) I've given you the tools to answer that. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: 10D5C9C5>---| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |------------------------------------&lt;youngs(a)xemacs.org&gt;---|
