Trunk Revision Numbers

[Thargoid]

A small thought - would it be possible to have trunk add its current revision number to the latest.log when it opens? Maybe add it to the first line of the log for example

Code: Select all

Opening log for Oolite version 1.77 (x86-32 test release) under Windows at 2012-10-26 21:56:24 +0100.

Perhaps add it in after the 1.77 as either 1.77.xxxx or 1.77 rev xxxx?

Just thinking to make life a little easier to track what revision is currently in use, for bug tracking and making sure correct revisions are in use for new feature availability etc.[/color]

The trunk version numbers are already added to logs from the nightly builds, thus:

Code: Select all

Oolite development version 1.77.0.5436

I mean for build-from-source builds. They don't have any branding.

Sorry should have been more specific.

Yeah, I realised that - I was just saying...

[cim]

"make release-snapshot" adds the watermark. Or explicitly define the SNAPSHOT_BUILD compile option, if you prefer.

[Thargoid]

Those either seem to do nothing, aren't recognised as command line options or add "Development build" without a number to the screen as a watermark...

[cim]

Try "make -f Makefile" rather than "make" as the command?

[Thargoid]

Try "make -f Makefile" rather than "make" as the command?

Using make -f Makefile release-snapshot performed a make, but didn't watermark anything.

I'll try the other variations later and see if I can get something that works.

Did you try a make -fMakefile clean first? Remember, when you change build settings, you must perform a make clean to be sure that everything is updated with the new settings.

[Thargoid]

No I hadn't. Now done and watermark is there fully.
