Re: Bug Reports (snapshot builds)
yeah, that's kinda what I meant by "this particular kind of problem" : ) I use git for some other projects, and I do love it, but it does take some getting used to.Chris H. wrote:Oh, we tried git for a couple of months and then decided to go back to SVN.myk wrote:not sure if this is an option, but this particular kind of problem doesn't exist with git.
We were on googlecode SVN for a couple of years and went to git in an effort to avoid the sleeping giant. Git turned out to be more complicated for those people who were into the project more as a hobby and did not have much tech background.
We moved to the current SVN in the hopes that people like myself would be able to stay with the project. :)
perhaps there is another option -- the buildnumber plugin has this bug to use svnversion instead of svn --info, but no activity to fix it in several years. let me see if we can call svnversion directly. That will tell us all the info we need to know without forcing updates on every build.
The auto updating might be more of a problem for other people than myself. Then again, people are creatures of habit and it is not easy to get us to change even if it is in our best interests. :)
Edit: I found this plugin which should do what we want. testing it now
Edit 2: committed in r19828. Tell me if it causes build problems for anyone. If it reports mixed revisions for you but you don't think it should, run 'svnversion' from trunk/. if svnversion reports a range of revisions, try running 'svn up' from trunk/ and see if that clears it up.
