FWIW, I've used the $Header $ to determine if a person is looking at the latest greatest or needs to synch up first (in particular when I was dealing with an eclass bug). Very useful when dealing with bugs and you need to confirm that the user is completely synch'd up and looking at a current tree or not (because just asking when the last time they synch'd doesn't help). ~mcummings -- -----o()o---------------------------------------------- Michael Cummings | #gentoo-dev, #gentoo-perl Gentoo Perl Dev | on irc.freenode.net Gentoo/SPARC Gentoo/AMD64 GPG: 0543 6FA3 5F82 3A76 3BF7 8323 AB5C ED4E 9E7F 4E2E -----o()o---------------------------------------------- Hi, I'm a .signature virus!
