Add SVN revsion number to version number
----------------------------------------
Key: XERCESC-1836
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1836
Project: Xerces-C++
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Environment: MS Windows XP SP3, VS2005/8
Reporter: David Kelvin
Priority: Minor
A number of Open Source projects, that generate executables and DLL files, add
the SVN version number to the version displayed via properties [I don't know if
the equivalent is available for non-Windows platforms].
This is normally done in the custom Pre-Build step that uses TortoiseSVN's
"SubWCRev.exe" program to copy a file (e.g. version.in) to a new file
(version.h) which defines the current revision level. This is included in the
corresponding resource file so that it is visible to the user. See project
http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/ as an example.
So with the current level: the propery page would show the DLL was 3.0.0.708302.
I think this would be useful when an application wanted to make sure that the
version in use has a specific fix included prior to a formal release.
Thanks.
David
