% cvs commit -m 'fix version number on trunk for 5.9 development'
c/usr/cvs/cm3/scripts/version,v  <--  version
new revision: 1.6; previous revision: 1.5
/usr/cvs/cm3/scripts/version.quake,v  <--  version.quake
new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1

All scripts should pick up the version from those files.

Thanks for the hint,
