yes, svn does increment revision numbers. he asked for a good practiceregarding building and incrementing build numbers. now from my experience working in large teams i have noticed that centralised builds work better for versioning (due to obvious problems that arrises when each developer increments a build number) and i recomend using something like cruisecontrol (which you use with your svn (for example)) to manage your builds. the great advantage that cruise control gives you is that its build already, free and you can use it to display numbered builds to who ever needs to see the application as you are developing. you seem very cynical of something like cuise control, and i think your reasoning stems from the fact that you have not used it yourself. i would honestly recomend anybody to give it a twirl. my build process -builds my swc's -builds my application -creates my docs (please adobe get the asdoc tool to run under *nix) - versions my builds (using the cruise control version number) - builds my unit tests -run my unit tests -notify developers when something broken is commited i am even adjusting it now to create mx:application wrappers for my swc's using fabridge
this i do without having deployed this sollution or my build script to anybody else working in the team. they commit in svn and wham, there is a build, numbered and visible for everyone involved in the project. this is a practise that several people i have spoken too at adobe consulting recomend as well. spend some time to save a lot of time, is that not a core mantra for all developers :-/ my 2 cents. johan On 16 Apr 2007 06:50:32 -0700, Tom Chiverton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
