GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 619684
No version information available on Windows
Last modified: 2020-03-17 09:01:29 UTC
No version information is available on Windows. The About dialog shows "Unknown" and individual modules have version set to 0.0.0.0. This is most likely due to the AssemblyInfo.cs.in, which is being prerocessed by autotools in Linux. Unfortunately, there's no autotools in Windows, so we need to come up with a solution for this.
We can add a pre-build.bat script to build\windows and have it called in Banshee.Core.csproj similar to how post-build.bat is.
A properly filled in AssemblyInfo.cs needs to be built as part of the Nereid project, as the version number is read from the assembly that was first started. For now, I'm doing this manually for the Windows installer for version 2.1.0.
Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/264 for more info.
