           Summary: revision number is not updated after svn up / make
                    distclean
           Product: SableVM
           Version: staging
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: default
        AssignedTo: [email protected]

(chris):  I noticed that "make distclean" doesn't do anything to reset the
version number, so that even though I upgraded from 3291 to 3306, it still said
"staging+3291" when I did "sablevm --version".

(gadek):  True.  'distclean' does not remove configure, in which the
PACKAGE_VERSION variable is set.  

(chris):  Maybe the list of files produced by "svn st --no-ignore" after "make
distclean" should also be included in the "make distclean".  Removing them all
fixed the problem for me.

(gadek):  Of course, but we cannot add such functionality to 'distclean' because:
a) we cannot rely on 'svn' being available to perform distclean
b) removing configure and all Makefile.in is beyond what 'distclean' is
supposed to do (ie. you would *have to* run autogen.sh thereafter)

I'd suggest adding a 'hardclean' (or similar) target, that would depend
on distclean, and that would also remove configure and Makefile.in's,
or maybe a 'svndistclean' that would use 'svn' command to remove all
files that are not in subversion (though it's slightly dangerous, if
ie. you have files not yet added to SVN).
