Slackware uses the version number as part of the package name. Currently I am using 3.5.11. Yet I notice in various places that possibly 3.5.12 might be correct.

Does your svn tree contain a version number I can grab on-the-fly in my build scripts?

This would be a typical Slackware package name:

kdelibs-3.5.10-i486-3.tgz

The -3 is a sequential build number for the respective Slackware release.

I could create a package name such as:

kdelibs-3.5.10-i486-svn-2010-08-23.tgz

or

kdelibs-3.5.10-i486-svn_1166993.tgz

Is there a place somewhere in the svn tree to grab the correct date/time or svn release number?

I appreciate suggestions and help.
