Ok, so perhaps we've beaten this particular solution to death. But as the guy who raised the issue in the first place, I'd like to see some thought and effort into an acceptable solution. Seems to me the commit process, however managed, needs to bump a counter (or date/time or somesuch...) at each and every commit. The counter/timestamp needs enough digits so as not to wrap in the forseeable future. I'd like to be able to find the information via uname, so I'd put it in newvers.sh. Why would this be hard to do? -crl -- Chad R.
