Generating a Change Log from Subversion Logs and integrating with Jira

Question

We use Subversion for version control and Jira for tickets. All our commit messages have a Jira ticket id in it. The repository has a traditional organization with a main trunk and a version branch.

I'd like to answer this question:

Which closed ticket items entered in this release?

See that there are some caveats, like when an item is committed in a release branch and in the main trunk.

Is there a tool that already does it for me? Or should I write my own Subversion log analyzer tool?

Answer 1

You'll either have to write you own log analyzer for that or use the svn hooks to post them to a system as they get committed.

There is also a jira plugin that supports some of what you are asking for:

Answer 2

Not ready to demo yet but I've been creating a tool to take a tree of build relationships and use that data to work out which issues are likely present or absent in each build.
