|Received: from murphy.debian.org ([65.125.64.134]) | by torres.ka0.zugschlus.de with esmtp (Exim 4.12 #1 (Debian) [+prerelease]) | id 18qOgM-00057P-00 | for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Wed, 05 Mar 2003 03:30:58 +0100 I would like to have the Received: header and SMTP banner show the exact Debian version number the host is running. If I hardcode the version number, I am prone to forget changing the number there when I release a new version. So it has to be automatic, but I can of course generate a file containing the version number in my debian/rules and put it in to /usr/share. Which is most probably what I will do.
