In order to avoid this confusion after bumping the version in CVS as we did before (after releasing N.n, bump to N.n+1), I think we should add only a string like "+cvs" [1]. The User-Agent should then say something like: | Gnus/5.1008 (Gnus v5.10.8+cvs) Emacs/21.3 (gnu/linux) | Gnus/5.110004 (No Gnus v0.4+cvs) Emacs/22.0.50 (gnu/linux) The variable `gnus-version-number' and the output of `gnus-continuum-version' should probably not increased. We could add something like `gnus-cvs-version' which is t or nil and add the "+cvs" appropriately. Instead of "+cvs" we might even think about adding the date e.g. "+20060411". For this we'd need either CVS keywords or bump it manually from time to time. Hm, `gnus-cvs-version' could also be a number like 20060411. Bye, Reiner.
