Description Jaime Torres 2008-05-16 21:06:16 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 4.3 
OS:                Linux

When a kde application is compiled from svn, compile the revision number and show it in the application --help, just like:

bash: /usr/kde4/bin/konqueror --version
Qt: 4.4.0
KDE: 4.00.73 (KDE 4.0.73 >= 20080507
Konqueror: 4.00.73 (KDE 4.0.73 >= 20080507

and the missing information:
Compiled using svn revision: 807691

Best Regards.

If someone can change the bug title, it should say in the --version info.

Also, this information could be automatically retrieved from the krash manager (calling the application that has failed with --version) to be put automatically in bugzilla.

Yes, it could be helpful.

Not sure that really makes sense. If you compile your own packages, you have the ability to figure this out for yourself pretty easily.
