Build Versioning Plugin

(1/3) > >>

tekel:
I just wanted to see if there was any intrest in a new plugin to Automatically add build information to
Files, and Incorporate that into the building of projects, much like Dev's Project Version Info.

currently I use a small Python script I hacked together. Would it be worth it to port it to a full fledged plugin ?

python script attached

David Perfors:
I already thought about such plugin, but never found time to make it (well, actually to finish it, because I already started..)

So I am still interesting when such plugin will come.

rjmyst3:
i'd also be interested in such a plugin.
i currently use a tool called AutoBuildNumber in a pre-build step, it doesn't do everything that you're suggesting, but perhaps the source would help.

thomas:
To me, such a functionality is quite useless, as you are normally not interested in a number for every build, but in a number for a certain change set. Or, in other words, you don't count a "build" every time you hit the gear icon after changing one line, but for every milestone that you pass.

But, that's exactly what every decent revision control set offers for free. If you do anything serious, you don't get aroud using a revision control system anyway.

tekel:
Well if you look at my script it integrates with SVN and updates the files as per their SVN revision number. Also it only runs during special build targets (pre-build of release). It actually quite useful for working with third party's that don't necessarily have access to the source tree
