Martin --
It is obvious to me that automated version updated can run as follows:
* daily bump: anywhere, preferably a machine that is almost always
up -- we can use the cron job facility at SF.
* release with version number: this should be done when the
release is made -- it cannot be wrong. Therefore it runs
on the machine that makes the release. From GCC exprience,
we have a script, $GCC/maintainer-scripts/gcc_release
that we use to roll release. I've extensive experience
with that sort of things, and on two occasions I was thankful
that the process is automated.
* inclusion of global revision number: in principle, this runs
on the SVN server, which means SF. I'm not sure, but I was under
the impression that SF has disabled that service. One would
have to check.
So, it looks to me that the problem has a maximum solution :-)
