[Laszlo-dev] Build version into canvas?

[Benjamin Shine]

I think this gets set up in
build-tools/build-opt.xml:    <condition property="build.id"  
value="x.x.x.x" else="INTERNAL">
Then it gets applied in WEB-INF/lps/server.xml target lps-xml, which  
does overwrite-with-filter.

In tools/trunk/build-tools/nightly/nightly-go.sh I do this:
buildnum=`svn info -rHEAD http://svn.openlaszlo.org/openlaszlo | grep  
Revision | sed -e"s/Revision: //"`
leave out the -rHEAD and you've got what you want: the revision of  
the repository you've got

For consistency -- if you feel like consistency -- do this to get a  
build identifier:
(start with $branch = branches/legals, or trunk
branchmunge=`echo "${branch}" | sed  "s/\//-/"`
buildname=${buildnum}-openlaszlo-${branchmunge}

or maybe (going beyond consistency, to metadata)
buildname=${buildnum}-openlaszlo-${branchmunge}-${USER}-`date`
