RE: How to determine ACPI SF patch version from running kernel?

From: Bas Mevissen [mailto:ml-Y9IUUvl1dgU0Iwp8Nzs06g@public.gmane.org] 
How can I determine the ACPI SF patch number? In the ACPI 
sources there 
are a few numbers used:

ACPI_CA_VERSION
TOSHIBA_ACPI_VERSION
etc.

Those version numbers tell me the versions of the different modules 
within ACPI. If I understand it correctly, there is currently 
no way to 
determine the "overall" ACPI patch version (aka the SF patch version) 
from a running kernel and possibly not even from the sources without 
using the time stamp.

If so, I think it should change. Otherwise, please tell me how to 
determine this from the kernels syslog.

ACPI_CA_VERSION is printed on boot and also iirc in /proc/acpi/info.

It changes every release, except for the most recent one. I should've
updated it but I was in a hurry to go on vacation and didn't.

PS this would've been a good question for acpi-support.
