Hi,

What program generates that file?  When I build on a Debian machine, I
get

	$ make
	[...]
	    SUBDIR templates
	$ ls -la .version
	ls: cannot access .version: No such file or directory

Curious,
Jonathan

```

We add one for supporting a build from tarball, but I do not recall
writing nor paying attention to a dot-version.

Sorry I accidentally set these two to the wrong mailing list. These were
meant for the LinuxPTP project. OOPS

Thanks,
