https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D255683 --- Comment #27 from russo@bogodyn.org --- Created attachment 225999 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D225999&action= =3Dedit Patch to disable setting VERSION from "git describe" output Maxima's configure.ac tries to set VERSION to something reflecting its git status instead of its release version if "git" is found and if "git describ= e" works. This is presumably so that users of maxima directly out of its git = repo can have a version number that reflects the exact git commit being built ra= ther than a release version number that might not be accurate. Problem is, "git describe" works even if the working directory is just a subdirectory of FreeBSD's ports tree, and returns something utterly useless= for determining the Maxima version anyway. This patch simply comments out the bit of configure.ac that would set VERSI= ON this way, and therefore leaves it at the release version (in this case, 5.44.0). With this patch, all my woes are gone. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
