Thanks for the reply.
You are correct you can checkout using the "HEAD" tag. This doesn't fulfill my
requirements.
What I am trying to do is to create a build with the latest but also save the
version number of each module in the build so that I could reproduce this build
again in the future. Obviously saving "head" isn't going to allow me to do
this.
This is useful if you create builds for customers and later want to re-create
that same build from source maybe you want to debug against that particular
version. Maybe you just need to send them a patch for that version instead of
giving them a whole new release. There are lots of reasons to do this.
So far using the ant targets the only way I've been able to do this is to
- do an update to head on all my modules
- get the working copy version numbers, save those number
- do another full checkout with those version numbers
The full checkout is necessary to avoid local changes being put into my build.
I'd prefer is my workflow was:
- get the svn latest version for all the modules
- do a full checkout using those versions
Thank you,
