             Fix For: Upcoming Branch


Currently the build-dev ant target always use "svn patch" to apply patches from the runtime/patches directory in a dev environment (so typically on your local dev machine).

That was fine as long as we did not chain the build-dev in the build target. Since we do that (few weeks ago), there is a drawback which was already existing with the other build-* targets (test, qa, production) where I ommitted to use the failonerror="true" parameter for these targets.

Thought I never got a problem, to guarantee a safe deployment path, I figured it would be better to catch a patching issue as early as possible. 

So for the other build-* targets (test, qa, production), I simply added the failonerror="true", so far so good.

But for the build-dev ant target, it was not possible because it uses the exec ant task and always returns no errors but an output with the echos of the "svn patch" command where there might be some issues.

I tried hard to find a solution with the "svn patch" command, but decided parsing the echos in the output was not reliable at all (think different languages, number of possible issues, etc.).

So I searched another way and found [the Apache ManifoldCF project had one|https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/manifoldcf/trunk/common-build.xml], it's great to be in good company ;) !

So I will soon commit an adaptation of their work to replace the current build-dev ant target
