problem with version

[galexiou]

Hi,
I have installed virtuoso version 6.1.5 and from the terminal when i type virtuoso-t -? i get Version 6.1.5.3127-pthreads as of Jul 18 2012 but from my conductor i see that i have Version: 06.01.3127. When i try to install certain vad packages such as rdfb2rdf_vad i get a message that tells me to upgrade my version.

Virtuoso uses the major and minor numbers of the release (in this case 06.01) combined with the engine number (3127) in the VAD sticker, to make sure the package can only be installed on virtuoso executables of a certain level.

At this time VOS does not yet have a rdb2rdf_dav.vad package, so i am assuming you are using a package you downloaded that was made for the commercial product.

We are working to add this functionality to the VOS tree shortly.

So there is no problem at all with this inconsistency in versioning and the only way to know which version i have is by typing "virtuoso-t -?" ? Is this normal or i have to do something to fix it?

Yes:

virtuoso-t -? shows the major.minor.revision + engine number

some other places like the conductor only show major.minor + engine.

So using virtuoso-t -? shows you the most complete version information, but internally for VAD packages we do not check the revision, since the changes it relies on are mostly encoded into the engine version.

BTW i can confirm the rdb2rdf_dav.vad will be part of the upcoming 6.1.6 version of VOS
