# CFengine: input file had no explicit version string


while playing with `cfengine` I kept seeing these messages:

    Cfengine input file had no explicit version string

Well, I `grep`ed in the source of cfengine and this has helped me find
the solution, in the file `install.c` we have the following:

    3359 void VersionAuditFile()
    3360 
    3361 { char *sp;
    3362 
    3363 if (sp = GetMacroValue(CONTEXTID,"cfinputs_version"))
    3364    {
    3365    AUDITPTR->version = strdup(sp);
    3366    }
    3367 else
    3368    {
    3369    Verbose("Cfengine input file had no explicit version string\n");
    3370    }
    3371 }

(Line numbers are from `VIM`).

So I need to set a macro called `cfinputs_version`. Let's do that.

     cfinputs_version = ( 0.0.1 )

And this makes cfengine happy.
