Suggestion to add Subversion version numbers to packaged releases

[Ruth Hoffman <rh...@aesolves.com>]

Hello Developers:
Would it be possible to attach the Subversion version number to the 
packaged releases (either internally within the packaged zip file) or as 
part of the file name, to the official release packages found on 
http://ofbiz.apache.org/download.html.

I can think of several reasons to do this not the least of which it 
might help me when trying to track down bugs and bug fixes. It would 
also help when I submit JIRAs - I can tell you exactly which version I 
found the bug in.

Regards,
Ruth

I do not know how the svn export is done but it is possible to perform an
svn export from a working directory to a different directory.

So the process should be:
1) run an "svn checkout" of the latest revision from the repo
2) run "ant svninfo" to have the /runtime/svninfo.ftl file created with the
revision information
3) run an "svn export" from the working directory to a new directory
4) copy the /runtime/svninfo.ftl file from the working directory to the
exported one
5) proceed with building, zip, etc.

Hi Ruth,

I think that we can add this information somewhere for easy reference; in the meantime, you can get it from the commit log of the tags:

http://fisheye6.atlassian.com/changelog/ofbiz/tags/REL-4.0
http://fisheye6.atlassian.com/changelog/ofbiz/tags/REL-09.04

Kind regards,

Jacopo
