3.2 version string

Project Infrastructure LLVM Dev List Archives

LLVM 3.2 came as a nice Christmas present. Just one minor question: I
noticed that the version string (used to name the shared library etc.)
is "3.2svn" instead of the expected "3.2". This violates our build
system's expectations of what things are called. It would be easy for
us to change, but I want to make sure this is not a mistake. I am
fairly certain I downloaded the right tarball. How should we proceed?

thanks,

If you are building with CMake try editing the CMakeLists.txt file on
the top level of the source tree and removing `svn' from

set(PACKAGE_VERSION "${LLVM_VERSION_MAJOR}.${LLVM_VERSION_MINOR}svn")

Filing a bug report explaining the problem would be useful for avoiding
the same mistake on the next release.

Better yet, add to <http://llvm.org/docs/HowToReleaseLLVM.html&gt; (or at
least mention it in the bug report so that it will be updated).
