I wrote one in Perl a while back, and I know someone else
who just wrote another one more recently. Is this a
recurring issue?
The one I wrote was only a start of something, though I
did find it useful. I named it "mkvdd". The vdd part was
named, for reasons too lengthy to explain here, for Version
Description Database (although it is really a file).
A VDD file, or BOM, conceptually, is not much different from
a tag applied to your sources. But if you want to avoid
having too many tags, this is one way to address it.
I also have a "vdiff" perl script that does a diff between
to vdd files made by mkvdd. My mkvdd script itself is not
very complete, as it needs to read a list of pathnames (of
comma-v files) that were generated externally, which could
be a find. (It would be easy to add it into the script.)
When I used it (a while back now), I could give it tag names
and get two vdd files out of it, then run vdiff to find the
differences between them. _MAIN_ was my special tag invention
at the time, it should be renamed to HEAD. Like this...
mkvdd.pl -t branch_1 > branch_1.vdd
mkvdd.pl -t _MAIN_ > main.vdd
vdiff.pl -v main.vdd branch_1.vdd > main-branch1.vdiff
I'd be willing to treat this stuff in a GPL licensing way
and send it out, if there's an interest. At the moment, I'd
have to dig it up and put it into a tarball, and then someone
else would have to polish it off--I don't have the time right
now. The main problem at the moment is that mkvdd uses a
hard-coded path name where it finds the comma-v file list (I
was in a hurry when I wrote it, too).
I can send it out to whoever wants it. Let me know via email
to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and I send you a tarball attachment in
the reply. Put something like "request of mkvdd..." in the
subject line so I can quickly spot it (I get a lot of email).
