Estimated hours taken: 2

Localize the definition of the version number into a single file.
Automate the building of releases, including daily "rotd"
(release-of-the-day) releases.

VERSION:
	New file, defines the version number.
	Also document the general scheme for assigning version numbers.

Mmake.common.in:
	Add `include VERSION'.

Mmakefile:
bindist/Mmakefile:
configure.in:
	Use the version number in VERSION rather than hard-coding it
	in multiple places.

Mmakefile:
README:
.README.in:
INSTALL:
.INSTALL.in:
	Change things so that README and INSTALL are automatically
	generated from .README.in and .INSTALL.in respectively, using
	the version number defined in VERSION.

BUGS:
	Remove an unnecessary reference to the version number.

RELEASE_NOTES:
	Change this file so that the version number is only mentioned
	in one place.  Bump the version number here to 0.7 in preparation
	for the next release.

library/Mmakefile:
library/library.m:
library/library.m.in:
	Change things so that library.m is automatically generated from
	library.m.in using the version number in VERSION.
	Also change it so that library__version says which architecture
	it was configured for.

tools/test_mercury:
	Override the version specified in the VERSION file in the CVS
	repository with either `rotd-YYYY-MM-DD' or (when making a release)
	with a specified $RELEASE_VERSION.
	When running on murliboobo, if the version built passes all its
	tests, copy it to the /pub/mercury/beta-releases directory on
	ftp://turiel.cs.mu.oz.au.

compiler/notes/release_checklist.m:
	Change the release checklist to say that you only need to
	update the version number in VERSION rather than in 6 different
	places.  Also change the procedure for building the final
	tar file to reflect the above changes to the `test_mercury' script.

those files. A few files (config*) are derived from code that is
copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. The program `texi2html'
in the doc directory is copyright by CERN; see the copyright notice at

But first read README.AIX, README.BSDI, README.IRIX-5, README.Linux,
or README.MS-Windows if you are installing on a machine running
AIX, BSD Unix, IRIX 5, Linux, or Microsoft Windows respectively.
The documentation sources are in the `doc' subdirectory. The installation
process will install INFO, HTML, and DVI versions in the locations specified
in the file Mmake.common - by default these locations are
/usr/local/mercury-@VERSION@/info,
/usr/local/mercury-@VERSION@/lib/mercury/html,
and /usr/local/mercury-@VERSION@/lib/mercury/doc respectively.
The installation process will also install Unix-style man pages -
by default they will be installed in /usr/local/mercury-@VERSION@/man/man1.
The files RELEASE_NOTES, NEWS, HISTORY, LIMITATIONS, and BUGS
also contain useful information. If you're interested in looking
at the source code, the file compiler/notes/compiler_design.html is
a good place to start.
The `samples' directory contains some example Mercury programs.
There are also some additional Mercury programs and libraries
in the `extras' directory.

mercury-users for general discussion, and mercury-announce for
announcements), send mail with "subscribe" in the body to
mercury-users-request@cs.mu.oz.au or mercury-announce-request@cs.mu.oz.au

ALL useful software has bugs. During the development of the Mercury

here we are doing our users a service. It would be disappointing if
anyone were to infer the wrong thing from it.

# This is the central place where the version number is kept.

# *.*.* 0.6.1 Bug-fix releases.
#
# rotd-<DATE> rotd-1997-07-28 "Release-of-the-day" releases.
