[Linuxptp-devel] [PATCH RFC 0/5] Add version information to the programs

[Richard Cochran]

Looking forward to an official 1.0 release, this series adds version
strings to the programs. When compiling from git, the string includes
the information that you would get from the Linux kernel option
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO.

Each program will print the version when run with the -v flag. For
ptp4l, this flag meant "verbose" and would cause the messages to go to
stdout, so this has been changed to -m instead, so that all the
programs work the same way.

The last patch is not really related, but I throw it out there now,
because I think it should go into the 1.0 release.

Thanks,
Richard
