We have a project that has several components developed independently. Yet we have many releases all named as different products with different schedules. We want to get immediate feedback when a component has a new version (probably related with a bug-fix), thus all products depending on that version to be updated as well. A -> v1.0 (r...
I've been working on my open source project for about 6 months, and I want to release it officially soon. The thing is, I'm quite sure that in the near future I will want to change my project in a way that will break backward compatibility, probably multiple times. (My code is a framework in which people have to build code according to a...
Does anyone know how to add full (n.n.n.n) Windows file version information to COM dlls and .Net Assemblies compiled from MATLAB? The resulting dlls do not seem to contain a VersionInfo structure and so utilities like Resource Hacker don't work. ...
After I've generated the interface/implementation files for entities of a model file in XCode, I've not found a way to keep any custom code (validation methods, etc...) I've added to those generated files, given the scenario where I've added an attribute to a model entity and need to re-generate the interface/implementation files. Does ...
What is the concept of switching branches in IntelliJ? I must be either blind or an idiot... I would assume there'd be a "switch to copy" option or something like that, but there is none... EDIT for clarification: my prev IDE had a simple "switch to copy" option, which updated all files being different from current branch/trunk. Intell...
we're trying to sort out some conventions for handling dependencies with code checked into svn. the previous method was basically a free for all, meaning projects couldn't be checked out and built without fiddling with references (most projects are C#). we're fixing this one step at a time, and are now checking in binaries to a separate...
I'm working on a project which is being used by a number of people I don't know. We've done a fairly good job of bringing down the CheckStyle warnings and the thing is about a low as its going to get without breaking binary compatibility. The majority of the remaining warnings are caused by constants (public static final) missing the fi...
for example: I have app A, which references library A and library B. in addition, library A itself references a different version of library B. (these are all in C#) I want all references to point to a binary DLL file. right now I have a lib folder like so: lib/LibA/v1/LibA_1.dll lib/LibB/v1/LibB_1.dll lib/LibB/v2/LibB_2.dll let's sa...
Simple situation. I've created an application which uses SQL Server as database. I could add a table to this database which contains the version number of my application, so my application can check if it's talking to the correct version of the database. But since there are no other settings that I store inside a database, this would mea...
We have a multi-module maven project that uses a profile that defines a buildnumber-maven-plugin to increment a build number and then check it into source control. If I define the plugin in the parent pom.xml it executes for all the child builds as well. Here's my parent pom.xml <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns...
I offer a small Web Services API to my clients which I plan to evolve over time. So I need some sort of versioning, but I can't find any information about how you do something like that. Is there a best practice? How can I keep adding new functionality without breaking compatibility with the web services consumers? ...
Hello, I have a setup project that install a couple of projects and a couple of external files (one of which is a SQLite Database) - everything worked fine until i've recently modified the base database file included in the setup project. Now, everytime i try to reinstall the project the new database file does not replace the previous...
Consider software spread in two separate repositories, Pub and Priv. Pub repository is public. Priv is closed. An continuous integration server builds both Pub and Priv when either side changes. It then creates downloadable binaries from Priv that are available to users of Pub. Those binaries are labeled internally and on the file name w...
I'm looking for a plugin/act to allow versioning of my models. It's kind of difficult to find a list of the available solutions. So far I gathered: acts_as_versioned simply_versioned vestal_versions The last two solutions only require a single version table - this sounds nice, but I've got a bad feeling about how the ease of migratio...
I have two projects set up in CC.NET: CI build and nightly build. Both of them execute the same nant script, but with different parameters. The CCNET label (currently generated by the DefaultLabeler) is embedded into AssemblyInfo as the build part of the version (e.g *MajorVersion.MinorVersion.CCNET_Label.SVN_Revision*). For more cons...
I have a requirement to store all versions of an entity in a easily indexed way and was wondering if anyone has input on what system to use. Without versioning the system is simply a relational database with a row per, for example, person. If the person's state changes that row is changed to reflect this. With versioning the entry shou...
Under a bare bones setup for SVN on windows (without using VisualSVN), as per the instructions, the passwords are to be entered in the passwd file. Does SVN provide a way to encrypt or atleast mask this file? as if a person has access to the server directories, he can quite casually edit these files in plain text and come to know of all...
Hi, We are building a webapp which is shipped to several client as a debian package. Each client runs his own server. But the update and support is done by us. We make regular releases of the product, with a clean version number. Most of the users get an automatic update (by Puppet), some others don't. We want to keep a trace of the ve...
In his 2005 email to the Linux Kernel mailing list, Linus Torvalds is very emphatic that tags in git should be private and not be automatically included when fetching from others: Pulling a regular head cannot and must not update tags. Tags are not associated with the tree, and they cannot and must not be so, exactly because that...
Our application is quite mature, and thus we are up to version 16. However, this can give the impression that the software is old and out of touch (how many commercial applications are there with a version 20+??) Obviously, version numbers are quite arbitrary - what do other people use? I quite like the Ubuntu approach of month.date, bu...
