Description Mark Janes 2018-01-29 19:35:38 UTC

I rebuilt mesa 18.0rc3, but was surprised to get the following result:

$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version string"
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 18.0.0-rc2 (git-17c0e248d7)

The git sha is correct, but the rc2 string did not get updated.

This may create confusion when developers report bugs and use glxinfo to report the version of mesa they are testing.

Apparently, VERSION is only reevaluated when the meson build is reconfigured.  This should be fixed in the build if possible.  It may be that this is a Meson limitation; if so, we need a Meson feature request logged in github, or another mechanism within Mesa for version handling.

Hi Mark/Dylan, any news on this? Is this bug report still valid?

Since I can't reproduce this and Mark hasn't commented I'm closing this. Reopen if needed.
