[Vxl-maintainers] Daily vxl_version.h?

[Brad K. <bra...@ki...>]

Hello,

I propose the following change to vxl_version.h.  It would be useful to
compare vxl versions on a per-day basis during preprocessing.  I suggest
we add a VXL_VERSION_DATE_FULL that can be used for this purpose:

#define VXL_VERSION_DATE_FULL 20040109
#define VXL_VERSION_DATE_YEAR (VXL_VERSION_DATE_FULL / 10000)
#define VXL_VERSION_DATE_MONTH ((VXL_VERSION_DATE_FULL % 10000) / 100)
#define VXL_VERSION_DATE_DAY (VXL_VERSION_DATE_FULL % 100)

We can then setup a cron job to checkin a new copy of vxl_version.h every
day with the updated macro definition.  I will run this cron job unless we
can find a way to get sourceforge to run it.

Comments?
