I know that feature from RCS/CVS. There you can define a set of static C strings: static const char rcsid[] = "$Id$"; and retrieve them later (from both source and binaries) with a command called "ident". Similarly in SCCS, except that the command is called "what" there. > For instance in dvbcut.cpp we could then use SVN_REV in your new setCaption > call > to identify the binary. That would require that svnrev is available when you build the binary. Keywords are substituted when a revision is checked out or updated (or, in my case, checked in). That is, you can not check in the result from svnrev at the same time because you must run the program afterwards. And I don't want to run "svn ci" twice. Not because I'm lazy but because the revision will change again when you do so - therefore, the stored results from svnrev would always be slightly out of date. But I guess I'll find another mechanism. > Unfortunately subversion does not know a global revision keyword which could > be used > easlily for this purpose and the 'svnversion' command works only for the svn > command > line client... > > What do you think? I've always been using keywords with my own (CVS based) projects, and found them very convenient. > PS: For easy keyword expansion you have to uncomment: > > [miscellany] > enable-auto-props = yes > [auto-props] > *.c = svn:eol-style=native;svn:keywords=Author Rev Id Date > *.cpp = svn:eol-style=native;svn:keywords=Author Rev Id Date > *.h = svn:eol-style=native;svn:keywords=Author Rev Id Date > > in your ~/.subversion/config file if you don't want to enable it for every > single file by hand. According to the comment in the config file, this must be set before you add or import a file. Since dvbcut is already imported, changing the props manually seems to be the only way. Fortunately, you can process all files with a single file, using "-R". :-) -- Michael "Tired" Riepe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Tired: Each morning I get up I die a little ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
