No need to do anything, these are old issues. It's just that we get the same issue posted again and again because the working copy is still not updated.
You get that kind of problem with the "newer old" autorevision if you are using an old client and don't have it available in PATH, so the fallback entries parsing kicks in (and fails because it is an unsupported format).
The "old old" version of autorevision would work fine in this scenario, but it would fail with a newer version.
Yiannis still needs to commit the most recent version. That one should have no such problems any more, as it has no fallback path at all any more.

What I meant is that it is getting somewhat tedious to see the same old bugs with revision/autorevision and make dist/tarball over and over again, but I know I don't have to tell you that.
What did you think about fixing update_revision.sh / using autotools, by the way ? We should make that shell script and autorevision.cpp work the same way, in order to avoid confusion...

Hey, another idea: Why don't we put the sources out our prefered svn version into build_tools... ?! *lol* :lol: :mrgreen: ;-)
With regards, (not to be taken seriously) Morten.

Sorry, not having a clear head yet today (never talk to me before 10...).
You mean to modify the script you wrote that copies the generated header into the release tarball? Or do you mean to add a line to configure so it aborts when it doesn't find svn?

I mean modify the build scripts so that autotools would generate both revision.m4 and src/sdk/autorevision.h from the current SVN info, either cached in a "dist" tarball or retrieved from the "svn" client ?
The Fedora Core package already patches out autorevision entirelly,
for instance (and writes out the code for src/sdk/autorevision.h itself)
I don't think that the build should require svn, if all the info is there.
