SVN can roll forward/back by date, so build time would be good enough for us. > control rev number against every bug fix and every bug number against > every rev, that way you can effectively cross-reference your source > code, your builds/releases and your bugs.

We're still chewing internally about the best way to get Builder to help us with this. We don't want to have to maintain separate (to Builders compile dialog) ant/command line compile commands, and cruise control seems *way* over kill. OTOH we don't want to have a situation where a release build means a tag, checkout of tag, build either because it feels like it would be a lot of work. -- Tom Chiverton Helping to greatly deploy user-centric networks on: http://thefalken.livejournal.com **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
