I don't like this approach, if someone makes a typo in productnumber then PROD_VERSION gets set to a value they aren't expecting. I think it would be better to allow users to override PROD_VERSION in the books Makefile. The list of values we might consider letting people override are: DOCNAME (from title) PRODUCT (from productname) PROD_VERSION (from productnumber) RPM_VERSION (from edition) RPM_RELEASE (from pubsnumber) We would still enforce the current validity checks on these over ridden values, but not on the xml fields. it's a fix. Sounds good. Make it so. After talking with Brian we agreed that the correct solution for this issue is to add a remark to the subtitle tag, enable remarks and use the other fields as normal. e.g in en-US/Book_Info.xml: <subtitle>Everything in a nutshell<remark> 1.1 BETA 2</remark></subtitle> in Makefile: SHOW_REMARKS = 1 This displays the software's status in a clear, public location and ensures there is no ambiguity in the RPM subsystem's operation. |
