Hi all, I hope the subject makes sense -- I'll explain what I'm trying to do. I'm wondering what the best approaches are to being able to include output from git-describe [1] for generic version strings in projects managed by Git? This would have to work from within an autotools-managed project. At the moment, I've managed to hook the output from git-describe in to a few .m4 files, which works only at ./configure time -- but of course, with this being Git, I'd ideally like the same mechanism to work in a situation where someone does: $ git pull && make It's knowing how to plumb this in to the Makefile.am part I'm hazy over. Any help would be much appreciated. Harry [1] I know it's "git describe"; I'm using its hyphenated form for clarity of context. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
