Show version and rev number in About

[Danielle Foré]

This is potentially really useful information for debugging and such.

[Allen Lowe (lallenlowe)]

adding the version is easy, I can just update it manually everytime we switch versions. I can't figure out a way to get the revision number programatically though

[Cris Dywan (kalikiana)]

You could use ‘bzr revno’.

[Allen Lowe (lallenlowe)]

that will not work with versions installed from the .deb package

[Danielle Foré (danrabbit)]

if its installed from a deb it should be a release right? So I don't think it matters what bzr rev it is

[Allen Lowe (lallenlowe)]

yeah, that makes sense, I thought it might be useful to know which rev their
released package came from

[Cris Dywan (kalikiana)]

You could check the revision number during the install process and write (to) an installed file.

Daily builds to .deb have revision number in their version.
