Description

From Sebastia...@charite.de on December 02, 2011 04:33:16

It would be nice to have a possibility to customize the version identifier of the files oort generates by specifying another argument to the command line . E.g., I want to include the actual build number.

Research direction

Start by locating the command-line argument handling and the code that writes version identifiers into generated files. Confirm how the current identifier is selected and which generated outputs use it. Done means an additional argument can supply a build-specific version identifier without changing the existing default behavior.
