Identify XEmacs build from Mercurial changeset

Michael Sperber writes: The above looks fragile, and Adrian Aichner's build.el and build-reports.el have order dependencies. I don't remember the details, but he complained to me when I moved some lines once. How about something like xen_matcher='^.*xemacs_extra_name.*$' xen_value='xemacs_extra_name="(hg: '`hg identify`')"' cd ${srcdir} sed -e "s/${xen_matcher}/${xen_value}/" <version.sh.in >version.sh Note I left in the head identifier. The intent is to pick up a branch name, but if that doesn't work, the cut version works for me. Works for me in a quick test from the shell. What's the deal with ${srcdir}/extra-name? I don't see how that can get initialized to anything sensible, and I would think if it exists, there's an argument for it taking precedence over hg identify. Finally, it occurs to me that cd ${srcdir} echo ";;; local-diff.el --- local differences from tip" > lisp/local-diff.el echo '(setq hg-reference-version "'`hg identify`'")' >> lisp/local-diff.el # Use rawstring literal :-) echo '(setq hg-reference-diff #"' >> lisp/local-diff.el hg diff >> lisp/local-diff.el echo '")' >> lisp/local-diff.el echo ";;; local-diff.el ends here" >> lisp/local-diff.el deserves mention. :-) If that seems a bit privacy-invading, how about hg status? _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Patches mailing list XEmacs-Patches(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-patches
