- Short: Revisor V1.1 Version and revision bump utility.
- Author: cscholling@t-online.de (Carsten Scholling)
- Uploader: cscholling@t-online.de (Carsten Scholling)
- Version: 1.1
- Type: dev/misc
- Requires: OS2.x
- Replaces: dev/misc/Revisor.lha
-
-
-
- Description:
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- Revisor is a util for creating version/revision files for C and ASM. It also
- allows easy version and revision bumping. And Revisor uses NO "brain"-files to
- store it's information, because all needed information for bumping is read from
- the revision files itself.
-
-
-
- History:
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- Version 1.0
-
- - First release
-
-
- Version 1.1
-
- - Some minor bug fixes
- - Deleted "include" for iffparse.h and changed project id line
- - Depending on used options, sometimes no revision file would be written.
- Fixed. Reported by Nelson Sandalwood. Thanks.
- - Revisor is about 1k smaller now ;-).
-
-
-
- Usage:
- ¯¯¯¯¯
- Command line template follows:
-
- Revisor PRG=PRGNAME,PRO=PROJECTNAME/K,VER=VERSION/N/K,REV=REVISION/N/K,
- BETA/N/K,PROVER=PROJECTVERSION/N/K,PROREV=PROJECTREVISION/N/K,
- DESC=DESCRIPTION/K,AUT=AUTHOR/K,COPY=COPYRIGHT/K,C/S,ASM/S,
- CPPC=CPPCOMMENT/S,NOCPPC=NOCPPCOMMENT/S,BV=BUMPVER/S,BR=BUMPREV/S,
- BB=BUMPBETA/S,RB=RESETBETA/S,BPV=BUMPPROJECTVER/S,
- BPR=BUMPPROJECTREV/S";
-
-
- Yes, i know that this is a complex bulk of parameters, but it's very easy to
- handle. The first time you create your revision file, you have to give most of
- the named parameters to Revisor. The second and all other times, you only have
- to give the sections you want to update or bump. Let me explain the
- parameters:
-
-
- PRG=PRGNAME - Here you must specify the program name for which
- you want to create a revision file. You must not
- add any extensions like ".c" or ".h" or
- something.
-
- PRO=PROJECTNAME/K - After this keyword you give a project name if
- your program is not stand alone for example.
-
- VER=VERSION/N/K - The ordinary version of your program.
-
- REV=REVISION/N/K - Same for the revision parameter.
-
- BETA/N/K - Here you specify the beta version if one.
-
- PROVER=PROJECTVERSION/N/K - This belongs to the project and is it's version.
-
- PROREV=PROJECTREVISION/N/K - Belongs to the project too: Project revision.
-
- DESC=DESCRIPTION/K - Here you can give a short description of what
- your program is for.
-
- AUT=AUTHOR/K - This is your name (in most cases).
-
- COPY=COPYRIGHT/K - This is the copyright information.
-
- C/S - Use this switch if you want to create a C
- revision file. The given PRGNAME parameter plus
- "_rev.h" is the name of your revision file. This
- is only for creation time or if you want to add
- a C revision file to your app.
-
- ASM/S - The switch for an ASM file. Same as above, but
- the name is PRGNAME plus "_rev.i".
-
- CPPC=CPPCOMMENT/S - This tells Revisor to use C++ comment lines.
-
- NOCPPC=NOCPPCOMMENT/S - Tells Revisor to NOT use C++ comments. Only
- usefull if you want to change you existing C++
- file to normal C-style.
-
-
- BV=BUMPVER/S - With this switch, you bump up your program
- version by 1 (from 2 to 3 for example)
-
- BR=BUMPREV/S - Same here, but for the revision.
-
- BB=BUMPBETA/S - This bumps up your beta information by 1.
-
- RB=RESETBETA/S - Same as BETA=0, but nicer ;-). Simply resets the
- beta version back to zero.
-
- BPV=BUMPPROJECTVER/S - Again the same as above, but for your overall
- project version number.
-
- BPR=BUMPPROJECTREV/S - And again the same as above for the project
- revision.
-
-
- That's all folks!
-
-
-
- Example use:
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- Let's say your application name is "App" and belongs to a project called
- "Project". The current application state is version 1, revision 2 and your beta
- state is 3. For your whole project, the state is V1.1. Because your program
- consist of C and ASM files you need both, C and ASM revision files. And at
- last, you want to use C++ comments in the C revision file, because they are
- nicer.
-
- For creating a fully new revision file for your application use the following
- (sure, that you have to specify all parameters in one line ;-):
-
-
- Revisor App PROJECTNAME "Project"
- VERSION 1
- REVISION 2
- BETA 3
- PROJECTVERSION 1
- PROJECTREVISION 1
- DESCRIPTION "My favorite application."
- AUTHOR "your name"
- COPYRIGHT "Copyright ©1998"
- C
- ASM
- CPPCOMMENT
-
-
- The resulting revision files look like this:

-
- So. The time runs away and your application is out of the beta state and it's
- time to release your stuff. So you have to reset the beta version to 0. This
- is done by:
-
- Revisor App RESETBETA
-
- or
-
- Revisor App BETA 0
-
-
-
- Two month later (you have forgotten to increase the revision meanwhile ;-), you
- want to release the next version V1.3. Simply type:
-
- Revisor App BUMPREV
-
-
-
- If you only want to make some minor changes without updating the
- version/revision information, but want to be up to DATE, simply use
-
- Revisor App
-
- This will update the date and time information each time you call Revisor (out
- of a makefile for example).
-
-
-
- Now, two years ago, you have changed thousands of source lines and want to
- update to V2.0, project version 2.0. This is very easy too:
-
- Revisor App BUMPVER BUMPPROJECTVER
-
-
-
- Sure that you can change all the information every time by simply typing
-
- Revisor App DESC "New description" AUTHOR "New author"
-
- or something.
-
-
-
-
-
- So. Think you are now familar with Revisor. But if you encounter any bugs,
- have new ideas or needings or simply want to write me a mail, because you find
- Revisor usefull, here my email address:
