Re: [Exist-open] Git revision when building from eXist-db/exist/develop

[Dannes W. <da...@ex...>]

Hi Joe,

In the build scripts we use the "git.commit" variable: in our build system (
build.exist-db.se) this property is set by Jenkins.
when doing this by yourself, you need to set the same property.

It is difficult to do this in ant in a platform-agnostic way (
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2974106/how-to-lookup-the-latest-git-commit-hash-from-an-ant-build-script),
therefore it is IMO better to leave it out from the scripts.

I'd not be fond to have a dependency on jGIT or so.

regards

Dannes
