Re: [Vim-latex-devel] versioning scheme

[Srinath A. <sri...@gm...>]

The versioning scheme of vim-latex leaves a little to be desired. Of
late, there are two distinct ways to define the "version" of
vim-latex. One is the output of the :TVersion command which will show
you a number like 1.8.02 or something similar. The other is the date
on the actual file you download. The reason the release is made with
the time-stamp is that it was simply easier to make quick releases
this way. In particular, the download.inc PHP code just checks for the
latest file names of the pattern latexSuite200*.tar.gz and proceeds to
dynamically generate a link to them. All I need to do to make a
release is to make a CVS commit and do

  :make release

I have been pretty careful nowadays to keep updating the internal
version number (maintained in ftplugin/latex-suite/version.vim) after
every release. So you should be able to use either of the two as the
official "version". Personally, the timestamp is a teensy bit more
robust because it  does not rely on me remembering to update
version.vim.

Thanks,
Srinath
