So you make newvers.sh a dynamic file, with some hook or other(tm) built in to cvsup or whatever method you used -- even something as simple as looking at /usr/sup/* to get the timestamp from the sup statistics... to make it look like this: 2.2.5-STABLE-879981548 -- the time value in seconds since epoch. (okay, that's kind of lame, I admit, but...) joe
