I use code like the following to append a version to my applications based on the current svn rev.
FIND_PACKAGE(Subversion) IF(Subversion_FOUND) Subversion_WC_INFO(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} Project) MESSAGE("Current revision is ${Project_WC_REVISION}") Subversion_WC_LOG(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} Project) MESSAGE("Last changed log is ${Project_LAST_CHANGED_LOG}") set (${PROJECT_NAME}_VERSION_PATCH ${${PROJECT_NAME}_VERSION_PATCH}.${Project_WC_REVISION}) ENDIF(Subversion_FOUND) The problem is if the server is down it prevented me from working since the failure to get a version ends up blocking the generate so I added an option to disable the appending if I disable the option: FIND_PACKAGE(Subversion) IF(Subversion_FOUND) OPTION(APPEND_SVN_REV "Append subversion rev to application version" ON) IF(APPEND_SVN_REV) Subversion_WC_INFO(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} Project) MESSAGE("Current revision is ${Project_WC_REVISION}") Subversion_WC_LOG(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} Project) MESSAGE("Last changed log is ${Project_LAST_CHANGED_LOG}") set (${PROJECT_NAME}_VERSION_PATCH ${${PROJECT_NAME}_VERSION_PATCH}.${Project_WC_REVISION}) ENDIF(APPEND_SVN_REV) ENDIF(Subversion_FOUND) Is there an easy way it can just cache result of these checks and if the server is down just use the cache instead of being fatal so I do not have to use the switch to turn off this when the server is down? -- John M.
