Automated Win32 builds

[Phil Longstaff]

Derek,

I've been looking at the 'svn list' command and think it may have the solution:

$ svn/bin/svn list -v http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash
  18053 cstim                 Apr 21 15:37 branches/
  18114 plongsta              Jun 07 18:20 tags/
  18115 cedayiv               Jun 08 15:37 trunk/

You can then parse it, looking for the "trunk" line, then grab the last revision number.  If it's changed from the previous night, kick off a new build.

$ svn/bin/svn list --xml http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<lists>
<list
   path="http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash">
<entry
   kind="dir">
<name>branches</name>
<commit
   revision="18053">
<author>cstim</author>
<date>2009-04-21T19:37:17.477361Z</date>
</commit>
</entry>
<entry
   kind="dir">
<name>tags</name>
<commit
   revision="18114">
<author>plongstaff</author>
<date>2009-06-07T22:20:37.946014Z</date>
</commit>
</entry>
<entry
   kind="dir">
<name>trunk</name>
<commit
   revision="18115">
<author>cedayiv</author>
<date>2009-06-08T19:37:37.080404Z</date>
</commit>
</entry>
</list>
</lists>

If you prefer to get and parse XML, use "--xml" in the list command.

"svn list" will also tell you when the "tags" directory has had something committed to it.  Then, "svn list http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/tags" will give you a list of tags.  By comparing it with the previous list (which would need to be primed with the current list), you could kick off builds for new tags.
