Hi,

I do not know if this is the best place to ask, but in the earlier days I used underneath command to get version (SVN). But now I changed to git. Unfortunately this does not work any more:

--prefix=$HOME/testing/$(svn info | grep -i revision | cut -d" " -f2)

Does anyone have a solution to this. I would like to see wether the update is an improvement/renewal of currect version and install besides a working version!

uhm, e.g. git log --format=oneline --abbrev-commit|cut -d" " -f1|head -n1

note that these won't sort nicely, so you may consider prepending a timestamp.

You mean from the result you cannot see if it is newer or older?
My current test gives me: 4bbdaa5

So it is different than SVN indeed. I will play around with the timestamp

Yeah git does not use (counted) revisions from which you can say which one is newer (the higher revision in SVN). git uses SHA-1 hashes for every commit so there is no ordering possibility as every hash is independent of its position in history.

I use

git rev-list --abbrev-commit --max-count=1 HEAD

Never gave me problems.

That works indeed, but how do you manage to distinguish the differences between dates or lets say improvements made to the code!

[h.udo]

For dates and commit I use the following after compiling

checkinstall -y --fstrans=no --install=yes --pkgname=hudo-xbmc --pkgversion=”git`date +%Y%m%d`.`git rev-list --abbrev-commit --max-count=1 HEAD`”

I never bothered about more info than that. I suppose that by "improvements made to the code!" you're talking about the commit title and/or message, right?

Uhm no i was looking for a revision change number. Thought you might found something for that as well. Like SVN revision is changing after a new submittance.

[h.udo]

Got it.
Since git doesn't use revisions like svn, best bet is to go with system date+system time+commit.

Or maybe extract date and time from git commit instead of system? Does git provide such functionality?

There's a pull request on github (xbmc/xbmc) that has the code we'll be using on the buildbot to do this.

Thanks.
I actually had a sneak peak at it today, by chance. Looks good.

[tudstudent]

Can you meay be clearify what it does. Did not understand so much of it yet!

[h.udo]

You can find that git commit here.

The command looks like this:

git log -1 --pretty=format:"%h %ci" HEAD | awk '{gsub("-", "");print $2"-"$1}'

and the output looks like this:

20110307-12e8785

The date appearing is the commit (aka 'revision') date.

I do something similar, except I prefer dots between my delimiters for date/versions.

ala 20110307-12e8785 becomes 2011.03.07.12e8785

I use a simple function: Pastied
