[armedbear-devel] Problems with making binary release?

[Mark Evenson]

Erik reported problems making a binary release yesterday on #abcl 
related to the presence of the version information in the 
"build/classes/org/armedbear/lisp/version" file.  I did indeed change 
the build process to try to be smarter about needing to create this file 
by creating the 'abcl.stamp.version.uptodate' task to compare the date 
of this file to the corresponding class of Version.java.  But I can't 
reproduce a problem here via various permutations of manually removing 
the file, updating the timestamps of various files via touch(1), etc.

If someone can provide instructions to reproduce the error here, I will 
endeavor to fix it.  Maybe this is a problem under MSFT Windows 
environments?

P.S. In looking over the build.xml code, I notice that the use of 
setting the 'abcl.version' system property to override is slightly 
sub-optimal which I will fix as well.
