Takari's CD solution will be open sourced around the end of September. =
We have two implementations in progress: one for a customer with a large =
project (500+ modules) in p4, and another for Facebook Presto which is a =
smaller project (20+ modules). The large project has been using the =
mechanism for 3-4 months now, and we're just finishing the first =
prototype for the Presto team. We still have many details to work out =
and it's my primary focus right now. When we're done and it works for =
these two projects the documentation will be published in the form of an =
online book. One of our requirements is interop with Eclipse and IDEA.

We are currently using a mechanism to pass in a revision, but we have a =
working version of a metadata generator that turn 1.0.0.generation into =
something like 1.0.0.[date]-[buildNumber]-[sha1] for the Git =
implementation. Happy to chat about it offline but we won't release it =
until it works completely end-to-end for our two customers.
