Oh, excellent point. > I think the "right" way to do this would be for the Clojure compile > process to include a call out to "svn info" to get the revision number > of the whole tree, and then somehow include the results of that back > in the .jar file for some Clojure function to read. ...but I don't > really know enough about ant (or svn either, for that matter) to do > this myself. I suspect there is a better way than that -- we shouldn't really depend upon the client to have 'svn' installed at build-time, though it would often be the case. Subversion supports 'hook scripts' that are run server-side during a commit process. I'm sure someone else has written such a script to update a version-file (e.g. version.clj, containing a *version* def) that is touched any time a revision is made. Let me see what I can find.
