I think the tangle mentioned at Issue #313 needs wider discussion. ntpsec | build version not updated after git pull (#313) https://gitlab.com/NTPsec/ntpsec/issues/313
A while ago, we changed things to not use __DATE__. Maybe we didn't get that right. Maybe the default should be to use __DATE__ with configure options for alternates. configure sets up NTPSEC_VERSION_STRING ntptime is the only useage. There is a --build-version-tag=xxx option to configure. It gets used in NTPSEC_VERSION_STRING, but see above. -------- I'm assuming the EPOCH date will also be the date in the version string. I'm happy to recompile everything after a git pull. I'd like to get a new version string without rebuilding everything. I'd like the version string to indicate that I'm running something built with local edits that haven't been committed yet. I have a script to erase and build and another to build after an edit so I have a handy place to put complicated recipies. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@ntpsec.org http://lists.ntpsec.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
