<br>
I had already figured that out and though it works it requires
some intervention on every update.<br>
I was looking more for a tag to place in the
.../debian/LocalConfig.kmk that would take the already generated
release number and use it.<br>
Example: VBOX_VERSION_STRING := $(VBOX_VERSION_STRING_RAW) when we
were compiling beta and the string was too long.<br>
<br>
I see where the $(svn_revision) is used in two of the three types
of builds (assumption) and the third is 0 (zero) which is what I
get when looking at the about in the program. I can of course
manually change the 0 to match the release but figured there was
some way to automate this.<br>

Line 54 of debian/rules<br>
svnrev :=$(if $(svn_revision),$(svn_revision),0)<br>
<br>
Ideas?<br>

Two questions
I have looked through the code for some time and just can't seem to see it.
Building DEB from SVN:
What tag and where would I put it to *not build the *-dbg... .deb?
Also when building deb, the release version is built into the file name
but the release version is not included in the about screen like it is
when building a *.run (it just shows r0). What would I need to do to
include the release number in the about information?

Try creating a file callled SVN_REVISION at the top level of the source tree
containing the line
svn_revision := nnnnn
The deb/rpm build scripts get their revision number from that variable.
Oracle's build process has some unpublished steps.
