re: REVISION constant for Shoes builds.
"last changed rev" gives the right result for now, but -
1] the associated rescue clause does not work for me on Windows. [I
guess different svn implementations can save the repository state in
xml in different/unpredictable representations?]
( What I see is -
irb(main):002:0> File.readlines(".svn/entries")[10]
=> " uuid=\"744c4e3c-6a3d-dc11-a54c-00132028b6dc\"\n"
)
2] I'm only an svn newbie, but would all this be better sorted out at
the time of the
'svn commit', rather than later when the package is built? Something like -
svn propset svn:keywords "Revision" Rakefile
combined with a $Revision$ placeholder in Rakefile?
