If the source comes from CVS, we tag it. If the source comes from SVN, I use the CI system to set an ANT property based on what subversion revision was checked out which gets resolved and stored into the ivy.xml file for publishing. Then any published build will contain the ivy.xml file which contains the revision number from subversion from which it was built. Once nice feature of subversion.

I'm curious: Given a build number, how do you later find the corresponding sources in SVN? Does the CI system tag the sources with the auto-incremented build number? -- Niklas Matthies ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail, including any attached files, may contain confidential and privileged information for the sole use of the intended recipient.
