add $Id$ to base/, add -V (version info) to port, please comment

[opendarwin.org@…]

I went through base/ and added $Id$ to everything but man pages and mtree/. I also added a -V flag to port, "port -V" returns "Version 0.1000 ($Id$)". If you see anything that should be changed, discussed, beaten into the ground, etc. please let me know. For the .c/.h files I've added the $Id$ as a #define, for .tcl files I've made it a variable (more on this below), elsewhere its just commented. Note that the patch is a diff of base/, so its all jumbled together. I can break it out in different ways if that's easier to digest. I chose to use variables in the .tcl files in hopes that in the future (if desired) we can have "port -V" (or whatever) dump all of the $Id$ tags for the darwinports infrastructure in use. Not that grep can't do this, but for those less familiar w/ CLI tools "port -V" may be easier, and it may be easier to wrap up in a GUI. I synched my base/ at 2004/03/07 20:57 (US/Pacific) and patched directly onto that. Testing was to do:

---

configure/make/make install port -V port installed port clean port +ssl install (from the net/wget directory)

---

big fat patch to base/ to add $Id$

With 'port version' and 'port selfupdate' these days, can this bug be closed?

[opendarwin.org@…]

Yeah, we can close this. I'm marking the resolution as LATER 'cause I still think its a good idea to tag all the files in base/.

Hey Erick, James! Regardless of having version information in dp now, I like the idea of tagging files in base with Id info. I believe Paul already did a lot of this, so I'm unsure if your patch applies any longer. May you please check Erick, and update the patch as required? James, what you reckon about this move?

I'm not opposed to $Id$ on files in HEAD, but I'm not dogmatic about it either. There's a lot of disagreement within the cvs/svn community about whether $Id$ is good or not. It becomes a problem with branches. But I generally add $Id$ when I make a new file...
