That is, split +MAJOR/MINOR/PATCH, pre-release, converted to numeric form, etc. We can then use this to set all the buildfile-level values (version, revision, abi_*, etc) as well as generate the version file and even generate the version header which will define this library version as well as check versions of dependencies. This generation will probably be done via a custom/inline rule. -* Since this module will depend on libbpkg, would make sense to make it dyn - loadable and optional (include pre-generated files in dist). - * Will require the use of semantic versioning. * What about using build2@X.Y.Z? Theoretically, the version module could even issue this. Though it is optional. - -* Don't think we allow bootable optional modules at the moment. |
