Provide a SystemVersion.plist with future versions #3

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Future distributions of PureDarwin should provide a SystemVersion.plist in 
/System/Library/CoreServices including information about build versions (in 
major-letter-minor 
eg. 9G55 format). This info is used by eg. launchctl and mDNSResponder (via the 
_CFCopySystemVersionDictionary() call). This file can also be used to set 
copyright info for the 
system, and to identify it as a PureDarwin install.

Right.
SystemVersion.plist for PureDarwin workstation/client.
ServerVersion.plist for PureDarwin server.

A typical SystemVersion.plist found in Leopard:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" 
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>ProductBuildVersion</key>
    <string>9G55</string>
    <key>ProductCopyright</key>
    <string>1983-2008 Apple Inc.</string>
    <key>ProductName</key>
    <string>Mac OS X</string>
    <key>ProductUserVisibleVersion</key>
    <string>10.5.6</string>
    <key>ProductVersion</key>
    <string>10.5.6</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Consequently, what should be the
 * ProductBuildVersion (9G55pdx???)
 * ProductCopyright (2007-2009 The PureDarwin Project.? should we also append Apple copyright?)
 * ProductName (PureDarwin)
 * ProductUserVisibleVersion (???)
 * ProductVersion (???)

Some code relies on the "9G55" style ProductBuildVersion, so maybe we shouldn't 
alter that, but otherwise this 
should be fine. Maybe make the ProductVersion the Darwin (not OS X) version 
number.
