Task #57492 has been updated.
Project: Generic Graphics Toolkit
Subproject: GMTL
Summary: finalize how version number is set
Complete: 100%
Status: Closed
Authority : subatomic
Assigned to: subatomic, nonchocoboy, allenb
Description: currently we have gmtl/Version.h, which works elegantly in that it doesn't require any modification to the library to be useful (i.e. no configure, no preprocess, no make install needed).
now we also have a VERSION file, which I'm not sure what it is for.
The problem is that these two files will easily get out of sync. The other problem is that VERSION isn't useful unless you do a preprocess (like ocnfigure, or other script), meaning that the gmtl lib isn't usable until this script is run (assuming that Version.h is deprecated.)
If we need to keep both VERSION and Version.h for some reason, then we need to find a way to syncronize these.
The easiest IMHO would be to remove VERSION

Comment:
This has been taken care of a while back. We use gmtl/Version.h to avoid a dependency on the build system and VERSION is no longer used.
I will go ahead and remove the VERSION file.
