Babeltrace’s version extra information

This directory contains files and a directory to add information to the version of a Babeltrace build. The CLI (--version option) and library can provide this information.

The following directory and files are scanned at src/common/version.i generation time, which occurs at every build:

extra_version_name

If it exists, the first line of this file is the extra name of the custom version.

extra_version_description

If it exists, the file’s contents is the extra description of the custom version.

This should contain a description of local modifications applied to the source tree. A distribution packager can use this file, for example, to specify what changes were applied locally.

All characters except alphanumeric ones, whitespaces, ., and , are replaced with -.

extra_patches

If it exists, this directory contains patch files applied to the source tree.

Each file name is included when generating src/common/version.i, except README.adoc.

All characters except alphanumeric ones, whitespaces, and . are replaced with -.
