RE: [PHP-DEV] RfC: version names

Now it /is/ possible to find this out (by getting the most recent modification date of any CVS control file in the working directory), but that is probably too non-portable to be acceptable as part of the build system. (Okay, so you could write a mini C util to do it that relied only on POSIX, but that's still quite fiddly to get right.) However that's still going to be misleading, because any report against it has a reasonable chance of being bogus anyway, I'd have thought. It's difficult to detect, though. Derick's suggestion of only allowing submissions against at worst (in terms of moving targets) a snapshot build is probably a fair compromise? Cheers, James --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
