This variable is not used by the zsh build process and is present for the convenience of external checks. + +Version Suffixes +---------------- +The configure script reads the version number from Config/version.mk. +If the environment variable ZSH_EXTRAVERSION is set, the string +contained therein will be appended to the version string. For example, +if Config/version.mk contains "VERSION=4.3.4-dev-7" and +ZSH_EXTRAVERSION is set to "-ca", $ZSH_VERSION in the shell built from +that run will equal "4.3.4-dev-7-ca". Caution is recommended when +using this feature, as is-at-least may misunderstand your conventions. -- cgit 1.4.1
