I want to compose application build version that is automatically derived from GIT branch name I am on (when building) and the number of commits since the branch "start".

I have a set of Debian packaging scripts and I would like the version number of the package to be incremented each time it is built. (i.e. debian_revision as specified in the Debian Policy Manual) That is, the first build should be PACKAGE-1.0-0, then PACKAGE-1.0-0, and so on (where 1.0 is the upstream_version). Is there an easy way to s...
We have a nightly build process that automatically versions all C++ projecs. Here's how it works. There's a common header file VersionNumber.h that has a specific #define for the version number. The nighly build checks this file out, increments the integer behind that #define and checks it in. All Visual C++ projects #include that header...

We have a desktop application which needs to expose API. Some people say: API should have an abstraction layer so actual implementation can change in future versions. Others say: API should be version specific. So an API which uses version X will only work with it. Version X+1 will also deploy the dll's of version X in order not to bre...
I am writing an API for my application and have a few open questions (with versioning in mind). Should users call directly my objects or need I provide some abstraction? Should code that users wrote with version X of the API only work with version X or should it work also with the latest version? Initially I thought "abstraction" and...
