[PATCH] autogenerate include/version.h ...

[Ken Cross]

metze:

Maybe I'm all alone in this, but...

If I understand it, the only way to modify the version in your new scheme is
to manually modify the VERSION file.  I currently use cvs to automatically
update my version numbers (very handy).  I currently use:

  #define VERSION build_version_string()

where build_version_string() is a simple function I wrote to extract the
version from a cvs string like:

  #define CVS_REVISION "$Revision: 1.21 $"

The function just extracts "1.21" from the string and adds it to the
version:

  smbd -V
  Version 3.0.0rc1-1.21

Will --with-samba-version='build_version_string()' work?  

If not, is there a way to let the VENDOR_SUFFIX be a function (as opposed to
a static #define)?
