[GRASS-dev] GRASS_VERSION_* hardcoded in gem/Makefile

What is the reason gem/Makefile has GRASS_VERSION_MAJOR and GRASS_VERSION_MINOR hardcoded, rather than set to the make var, as in include/Make/Grass.make.in?:

configure:GRASS_VERSION_MAJOR=`sed -n 1p "${GRASS_VERSION_FILE}"`
include/Make/Grass.make.in:GRASS_VERSION_MAJOR = @GRASS_VERSION_MAJOR@
gem/Makefile:GRASS_VERSION_MAJOR=6

configure:GRASS_VERSION_MINOR=`sed -n 2p "${GRASS_VERSION_FILE}"`
include/Make/Grass.make.in:GRASS_VERSION_MINOR = @GRASS_VERSION_MINOR@
gem/Makefile:GRASS_VERSION_MINOR=4

I am sure there isn't a good reason.
GEM is no longer maintained and nobody
seems to use it. Mabye 6.4.3 would be
a chance to drop it?

Cheers,

Ben

I would guess there is no reason for that. I just wonder if there is
anybody using 'gem'. Anyway it's not part of G7.

I think it should remain in G6, only bugfixes should be done in there
release branch. No big changes. Let's focus on G7:-)
