First of all, it's not a incremental numeric version number. But you
can either choose to use a timestamp based on when you pull the tree, or
more preferably - you can use the commit ID of the last commit.
An easy way to do this, would be to use some git commands. Presuming
you already have a local git clone, it's just a few steps:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# update the local clone
git fetch origin
# fetct last commit ID in allmerged and make "short version"
LASTCOMMITID=$(cat .git/refs/heads/allmerged | cut -b-12)
# create snapshot
git archive -prefix openvpn-testing-snapshot-${LASTCOMMITID}/ \
origin/allmerged | \
gzip -9c > openvpn-testing-snapshot-${LASTCOMMITID}.tar.gz
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's basically it. I believe there are som better ways to catch the
last commit ID, I'll more into the porcelain git commands to discover that.
You could also do a check if that last commit ID has changed or not
since last time. If it has not changed, there are no changes to the git
tree and no need for a new snapshot.

I would not mind if you have some kind of script which does all the
snapshot work automagically. I probably indicated that above :-P If
these snapshots are uploaded to a community webserver, then we basically
have all we need.
