Re: request: top-level file upstream-version

[Giuseppe Scrivano]

Hello,

you can obtain it easily from the IceCat version number, just removing 
the -gX part.

You can be sure of it as GNU IceCat version are always 
$(upstream_version)-g$(X).

This value can be read from the browser/config/version.txt file.

Regards,
Giuseppe
