[Asterisk-Users] Re: res_motv: Request for comment

[Brian Buhrow]

	One thing that the BSD open source operating system projects do, and
many other projects for that matter, which Asterisk does not seem to do, is
put CVS ID tags in the source files of the package itself.  If ID tags were
put into the source files, and even embedded in strings so that theyshowed
up in the binary files too, that would go a long way toward helping users
determine which version of Asterisk they had, and where they were relative
to the current state of the development tree.  It seems like this change
requires no real coding, just adding a line or two to each source file, and
CVS does the rest for you by bumping the version numbers as changes come
in.
	Another advantage of this approach, is that users can succinctly and
accurately point out which versions of which modules work and which ones
contain  critical bugs.  Then you can say things like:
File res_moh.c, V1.25 and later contains the fix you're looking for. 
Just a thought.
