Suppose...:
- For non-releases: "git" + We take the first 6 chars of git commit
- For releases: "ver" + major + "." + minor
- For tar-balls: Something clever, maybe involving the date
...that we embed such a version in Syslinux core and in all OS programs
and modules. Maybe even with some nearby magic so that a "whichver"
command can examine and answer.
If we have that, Ady's recent question is: If Syslinux' module-loader
encounters a module without version-info, do we:
- Reject and return
- Warn and continue
- Hope for the best and continue
?
