20 # This script is derived from GIT-VERSION-GEN from GIT: https://git-scm.com/.
21 # It may be run two ways:
22 # - from a git repository in which the "git describe" command below
23 # produces useful output (thus requiring at least one signed tag)
24 # - from a non-git-repo directory containing a .tarball-version file, which
25 # presumes this script is invoked like "./git-version-gen .tarball-version".
27 # In order to use intra-version strings in your project, you will need two
28 # separate generated version string files:
30 # .tarball-version - present only in a distribution tarball, and not in
31 # a checked-out repository. Created with contents that were learned at
32 # the last time autoconf was run, and used by git-version-gen. Must not
33 # be present in either $(srcdir) or $(builddir) for git-version-gen to
34 # give accurate answers during normal development with a checked out tree,
35 # but must be present in a tarball when there is no version control system.
36 # Therefore, it cannot be used in any dependencies. GNUmakefile has
37 # hooks to force a reconfigure at distribution time to get the value
38 # correct, without penalizing normal development with extra reconfigures.
40 # .version - present in a checked-out repository and in a distribution
41 # tarball. Usable in dependencies, particularly for files that don't
42 # want to depend on config.h but do want to track version changes.
43 # Delete this file prior to any autoconf run where you want to rebuild
44 # files to pick up a version string change; and leave it stale to
45 # minimize rebuild time after unrelated changes to configure sources.
47 # As with any generated file in a VC'd directory, you should add
48 # /.version to .gitignore, so that you don't accidentally commit it.
49 # .tarball-version is never generated in a VC'd directory, so needn't
50 # be listed there.
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 .version and
63 # .tarball-version will exist in distribution tarballs.
65 # EXTRA_DIST = $(top_srcdir)/.version
66 # BUILT_SOURCES = $(top_srcdir)/.version
67 # $(top_srcdir)/.version:
68 # echo $(VERSION) > $@-t && mv $@-t $@
69 # dist-hook:
70 # echo $(VERSION) > $(distdir)/.tarball-version
