RE: [Subclipse-users] [svn-ant] Patch: Get latest revision number

I should clarify that a little. I do an <update> before the status which
updates my (cruise control) working copy, and the status/info is obviously a
status of that working copy.

Svn info works fine for me.

      <svn>

          <status path="." revisionProperty="repository.revision"/>

      </svn>

You then just pass the property repository.revision around. You have to
remember though that ant properties are transient, so if you call say an
update target that does the svn stuff with an <antcall> from another target,
the property isn't visible to the calling target. You have to call you
build script with ant update build rather than ant build and have build call
update, to allow the property to be visible between targets. This is normal
ant behaviour.

Hope it helps.

Greg.

So, the info task didn't work too well, and In the end, I thought it

would be simpler to just have a simple ant task to obtain the latest

revision number of the repository.

This allows ant tasks to "do things" with the revision number they are

going to build from (e.g, provide the revision number to other remote

systems).

I've attached a patch with introduces a "latestRevision" command to

svnant.

It allows you to do this:

<svn>

  <latestRevision target="http://someRepo" propertyName="rev.latest"/>

</svn>

<echo message="Latest revision number is ${rev.latest}"/>

(property name is optional - defaults to svn.revison.latest

Please let me know what you think (I can create an issue to attach the

patch to if you like?)

Cheers,

Dave
