Ed is correct the version number is manually set in the build script to
get the correct sources, the script also uses that same (manually set
number) to write out const.py which is the version number that gramps
uses and displays in the about box.
I would not say this method is fool proof, but it seems to work
note: const.py is a build generated file no matter what build process
you use. however other build process get the number from configure.in
which is a version controlled file along side the sources.
