myver.pl

        mkver.pl [-h] [-d DEF] [-e 'EXT EXT ...'] [-u 'Var Var...']

mkver.pl is used to create standard include files, to define release variables, which are used to categorize and version a module or tool. Its main purpose is to normalized all of names and categorizations that are related to a product, and to provide one place for updating this information.

Currently output files are:

        ver.cs - C# constants file
        ver.env - bash shell definitions (use in Makefiles and scripts)
        ver.epm - EPM package include file
        ver.h - C include file
        ver.java - Java include file
        ver.mak - Makefile include file
        ver.pl - Perl include file
        ver.php - php include file
        ver.xml - XML file

If the DEF file is not found, a default DEF file, ver.sh, is created.

The generated files will be put in the current directory. A (EXT)File variable can be defined for each EXT extention, to define the path and the name for each of the output files.

Other extention related variable can be defined to specify header and footer text that should be output for each EXT: (EXT)Header, (EXT)Footer.

The simplest way to see the default definitions and variable transformations is to run mkver.pl, and specify a DEF file that doesn't exist. You can then look at the DEF file that was created, and at the generated files.

-h|-help

This help

-d|-def DEF

Path and name of the master version definition file (DEF). The basename part of the file name will be used for the basename of the version include files.

 Default: ./ver.sh
 Default basename: ver

-e|-extension EXT

A space separated list of extentions, that will be generated. If no -e option is used, then all files will be generated.

 Default: -e 'cs env epm h java mak pl xml'

-uu|-userdef Var

A space separated list of user defined variable names.

-v|-verbose

Output warnings and notices. Errors will always be output.

-x debug

Output debug messages.

If "ERROR" appears in an output file or in the default input file, this is a required variable that has to be manually defined.

Error: Syntax problem with: VARIABLE

The named variable has a syntax error.

Error: Could not find directory: DIR

The DIR specified for an output file, can not be found. Fix the (EXT)File variable's definition, and create the directory

Error: mkcver or the definition file needs to be updated.

Warning: Could not find file: VARIABLE (FILE)"

Either fix the variable definition, create the file, or clear the definition.

How the variables RELEASE and ProdRC affect %packager and %release values in the "epm" file.

    export RELEASE=0; mkver.pl -d ver.sh -e epm

        %packager [setting in ver.sh]
        %release test.$ProdBuildTime

    export RELEASE=1; mkver.pl -d ver.sh -e epm

        %packager RE
        if $ProdRC is not empty,
            %release rc.$ProdRC
        else
            %release $ProdBuild

$RELEASE, $USER

Input: ver.sh or -d DEF.sh

Output: ver.EXT files
