Subject: [Qemu-devel] including the "git describe" output in the QEMU binaries?
Date: Tue, 31 May 2016 13:16:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <967bcc3b-e1d5-38db-eb7d-2d07e92c2e19@redhat.com> (raw)
Hi,
has this been raised / considered before? To me at least it would be
extremely useful if QEMU binaries built from a git working directory
returned the output of "git describe" (+ possibly a hint about an
unclean working directory), when invoked with "-version".
Not volunteering for the implementation, and also not suggesting /
requesting that others implement it (everyone is busy with real stuff,
I'm sure); just asking if it's been considered.
Thanks!
Laszlo
