Hi,
=20
I don't know much about ant and am trying to fix a problem in our
existing build.xml file.
=20
We have many branches in CVS and our normal procedue is to checkout out
a module which contains a build.xml file then run an ant package in this
directory which creates our software packages etc.  As part of the build
script a file called release.txt is created which should contain the cvs
tag and date and timestamp. =20
=20
Here are the relevant lines from build.xml:
=20
<property name=3D"label" value=3D${build_num} ${DSTAMP} ${TSTAMP}" />
=20
<exec dir=3D"www"
          executable=3D"echo"
          output=3D"www/release.txt"
          <arg line=3D"${label}"/>
</exec>
=20
Nowhere in build.xml is build_num set, so as expected the output is
"${build_num} <actual date> <actual time>"
=20
Does anyone know how to set a variable (in this case ${build_num}) with
the cvs tag for the current module?
=20
Thanks in advance for any info.
=20
Alison
