This can be done automatically: We encode $DateTime$ into the version stamp of developement versions and the files containing the version stamp are automatically submitted periodically (e.g. weekly) to the repository.
I have done this now but this idea doesn't really work well with web2c: BANNER is now "This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10a-beta-$DateTime: 2002/10/28 11:41:26 $" lib/printversion.c:printversionandexit expects the version to be the last space separted part of BANNER, so with this definition of BANNER the output of pdftex --version is "pdfTeX (Web2C 7.3.9) $" -- the version is "$". Is there an easy way to fix this? Best regards Martin -- Martin Schröder, MS@ArtCom-GmbH.DE ArtCom GmbH, Grazer Straße 8, D-28359 Bremen Voice +49 421 20419-44 / Fax +49 421 20419-10
