Re: [Gramps-devel] alpga/beta releases, SVN revision, etc.

Paul,

We should append the svn revision to the version string in the 
version.py file.

Any additional label for alpha and beta releases could also be appended 
in this file.

The version is only needed in const.py to derive the VERSION_DIR directory.


Nick.
