Unless bug 2612 was implemented in git (I didn't find a hidden pref), git version number is no longer in title bar... I'm obviously missing it... :)
what do you see in the title bar? It all looks correct here.
<current_account> - Claws Mail 3.9.0 About: version 3.9.0-158-gb46954
that's what's intended.
Then I'm puzzled why Christian Hesse opened enh. 2612; and the last CVS I compiled has: <current_accout - Claws Mail 3.9.0cvs122

Exactly Brad... that begs the question: how did we both compile the exact same git version with different results...?

(He's built his Claws from one of the snapshot tarballs and not from git directly).
Good catch Paul! Sorry about the noise then. Now to go research what I need to do to use git...
No problem, Pierre! I guess I should have been clearer in the first place!
(In reply to comment #8) > Good catch Paul! Sorry about the noise then. Now to go research what I > need to do to use git... Instructions are at; http://www.claws-mail.org/git.php?section=projects All remarkably easy, IMO. Especially as I already had git installed.
Paul: no problem... at least this "bug" can answer future queries... :) Brad: thanks. I had written a new build script. Turns out all I had to do was change the cvs checkout and update statements in my old script to the new git ones... Just to close the loop: is there a generic script/other that you guys use to download|update, build & install? Or do people all write their own? Care to share if the former?
the git version will show in title bar as long as one uses ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode, which is done automatically if using ./autogen.sh. The git version is quite long and we didn't want to annoy release users with it.
Created attachment 1248 [details] Snapshot build script Here's part of the snapshot script running on claws-mail.org (minus the web parts). It makes a full build then a minimal build and mails me if build's broken. A normal user update script could be trimmed down to git reset --hard git pull --all ./autogen.sh make -j4 sudo make install :)
