True, if supporting other SCMs is important we can make the "version" task in the build file smart enough to determine which, if any, should be used for requesting the version. The other option is to add a commit hook that will update the contents of some file with the current revision. The latter option is starting to sound better. > > > On Fri, Nov 7, 2008 at 2:23 PM, Matt Revelle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: >> >> I'm just finishing up an addition to the build script that executes >> "svnversion" and stores the result in a "versioninfo" file that would >> be placed in the clojure.jar file and the value stored in a *version* >> var in boot.clj. >> >> If someone is building from source, I think we can assume they have >> development tools. >> >> -Matt >> >> On Nov 7, 2008, at 2:20 PM, Graham Fawcett wrote: >> >>> >>> On Fri, Nov 7, 2008 at 1:48 PM, Chouser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >>>> >>>> On Fri, Nov 7, 2008 at 1:02 PM, Graham Fawcett <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>>>> wrote: >>>>> >>>>> If Rich would be willing to add this to boot.clj, >>>> [snip] >>>>> >>>>> ...then (clojure-svn-revision) ought to return the revision number >>>>> as >>>>> a string. >>>> >>>> I'd really like to see something like this too, but unfortunately I >>>> don't think it's this simple. >>>> >>>> Please correct me if I'm wrong, but any changes to the Clojure >>>> sources >>>> that don't include a change to boot.clj will fail to update this >>>> revision number.
