Item11171: Build tools tied to svn - can't easily build Foswiki release from a git checkout

• tools/check_manifest.pl uses svn ls to list repo contents.
  • Fixed by OlivierRaginel

• tools/build.pl issues a propset LASTBUILD This svn command cannot be issued using git. The other svn commands used to list existing tags, and to commit a modified Foswiki.pm could be done under git.

Checked in changes to build.pl - it will build and name a Foswiki release under git, with a couple of limitations:

• It does not propset LASTBUILD. This would have to be done under svn.
• It does not do the final git svn dcommit to push the named Foswiki back to svn. It's possible to "revert" the build by issuing git reset HEAD~ to drop the commit.
• It does not maintain $Rev$ and $Date$ keywords in files. This needs to be addressed before building a real release!

It also does some additional repository checking. It will not allow the build:

• If any tracked files have not been committed (new, modified or deleted).
• If the top log record does not have an svn commit id.

I've built Foswiki 1.1.8 and 1.1.9 exclusively from a git-svn checkout. This task can be closed.
