Yeah, that would surely be great. Do you know any method or whom to ask? I browsed the svn code and manuals but didn't find anything better than $Rev$.
Can't we do this with a commit hook that would update the version number (which is in 1 place only) automatically to the SVN revision number?
I was going to suggest that the buildscript pull the current revision # out of SVN, but the idea of a commit hook sounds like it could be cleaner. Would the hook apply whenever any file is committed to the repository, or just to files in the superiotool directory?
Ideally only commits to the superiotool directory should count, since its a seperate utility.
but we might want the same thing for linuxbios, too, and add that number to EXTRA_VERSION or so then we know which repository revision people work on when reporting problems.
