4 If you package SBCL for distribution, we ask that you to take steps to
5 make the version number reflect this. Our users often report bugs that
6 are intimately tied up with configuration issues, and much confusion
7 can result from mistaking a packaged SBCL for the upstream one.
9 If you are working from a Git branch, all you need to do is make sure
10 the branch name reflects the situation -- the build system will
11 incorporate the it in the version string.
13 If you are working from a release tarball, please edit
14 version.lisp-expr, and append ".packaging-target-or-patch[.version]".
21 This will make the startup banner, --version, and
22 (lisp-implementation-version) all identify the packaged version
