AX_IS_RELEASE(POLICY)
Determine whether the code is being configured as a release, or from git. Set the ax_is_release variable to ’yes’ or ’no’.
If building a release version, it is recommended that the configure script disable compiler errors and debug features, by conditionalising them on the ax_is_release variable. If building from git, these features should be enabled.
The POLICY parameter specifies how ax_is_release is determined. It can take the following values:
* git-directory: ax_is_release will be 'no' if a '.git'
directory or git worktree exists
* minor-version: ax_is_release will be 'no' if the minor version number
in $PACKAGE_VERSION is odd; this assumes
$PACKAGE_VERSION follows the 'major.minor.micro' scheme
* micro-version: ax_is_release will be 'no' if the micro version number
in $PACKAGE_VERSION is odd; this assumes
$PACKAGE_VERSION follows the 'major.minor.micro' scheme
* dash-version: ax_is_release will be 'no' if there is a dash '-'
in $PACKAGE_VERSION, for example 1.2-pre3, 1.2.42-a8b9
or 2.0-dirty (in particular this is suitable for use
with git-version-gen)
* always: ax_is_release will always be 'yes'
* never: ax_is_release will always be 'no'
Other policies may be added in future.
