22 # This script is derived from GIT-VERSION-GEN from GIT: http://git.or.cz/.
23 # It may be run two ways:
24 # - from a git repository in which the "git describe" command below
25 # produces useful output (thus requiring at least one signed tag)
26 # - from a non-git-repo directory containing a .tarball-version file, which
27 # presumes this script is invoked like "./git-version-gen .tarball-version".
29 # In order to use intra-version strings in your project, you will need two
30 # separate generated version string files:
32 # .tarball-version - present only in a distribution tarball, and not in
33 # a checked-out repository. Created with contents that were learned at
34 # the last time autoconf was run, and used by git-version-gen. Must not
35 # be present in either $(srcdir) or $(builddir) for git-version-gen to
36 # give accurate answers during normal development with a checked out tree,
37 # but must be present in a tarball when there is no version control system.
38 # Therefore, it cannot be used in any dependencies. GNUmakefile has
39 # hooks to force a reconfigure at distribution time to get the value
40 # correct, without penalizing normal development with extra reconfigures.
42 # .version - present in a checked-out repository and in a distribution
43 # tarball. Usable in dependencies, particularly for files that don't
44 # want to depend on config.h but do want to track version changes.
45 # Delete this file prior to any autoconf run where you want to rebuild
46 # files to pick up a version string change; and leave it stale to
47 # minimize rebuild time after unrelated changes to configure sources.
49 # It is probably wise to add these two files to .gitignore, so that you
50 # don't accidentally commit either generated file.
52 # Use the following line in your configure.ac, so that $(VERSION) will
53 # automatically be up-to-date each time configure is run (and note that
54 # since configure.ac no longer includes a version string, Makefile rules
55 # should not depend on configure.ac for version updates).
57 # AC_INIT([GNU project],
58 # m4_esyscmd([build-aux/git-version-gen .tarball-version]),
59 # [bug-project@example])
61 # Then use the following lines in your Makefile.am, so that .version
62 # will be present for dependencies, and so that .tarball-version will
63 # exist in distribution tarballs.
