We already process it the old way when it just had the Perforce change number in it, so we just need to update that to do what make_patchnum.sh does. Running git to generate lib/Config_git.pl is not possible at this point since there is as yet no git on VMS, so those parts of make_patchnum.sh cannot currently be translated. Since there is also no generally available rsync on VMS, the only practical way to stay current with blead is to generate your own snapshot on a system that does have rsync and/or git. If we haven't already done so, it would be nice to document the recommended procedure for generating a snapshot. I assume it involves running make_patchnum.sh followed but some incantation of git --archive. ________________________________________ Craig A.
