Distmaker not updating version number in page footers
February 24, 2008, 04:43:55 pm
UPDATE: Lobo tells me distmaker.sh is not required if you want to run SVN version of CiviCRM. See http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Installing+CiviCRM+from+subversion+%28SVN%29+repository

(I've hit this issue twice now, so figured a forum post might help someone else - and help me the next time I trip over it.)

When building CiviCRM from SVN, distmaker will only update the version.tpl (in templates/CRM/common/version.tpl) the first time distmaker is run. (Presumably this is so you can edit version.tpl and "label" your custom build of CiviCRM?)

This means that the second time I build CiviCRM from an SVN checkout, I'll end up with the page footers reporting the first build version, unless I remove the version.tpl before running distmaker.sh

Here's my process for building the latest version of CiviCRM. We're using Drupal 5.

Code: [Select]
cd ~/src/civicrm-2.0
svn up
< edit distmaker/distmaker.conf to reflect new SVN version >
rm templates/CRM/common/version.tpl
cd distmaker
./distmaker.sh d5

From IRC:

Quote
dlobo: so here is what we do
[2:24pm] dlobo: we basically use symlink
[2:24pm] dlobo: so we check civicrm out in ~/svn/civicrm
[2:24pm] dlobo: and run setup.sh the first time (or whatever number of times)
[2:25pm] dlobo: we create the settings files in ~/svn/civicrm/civicrm.setting.php
[2:25pm] dlobo: sites/all/modules/civicrm is a link to ~/svn/civicrm
[2:26pm] dlobo: and sites/default/civicrm.settings.php is a link to ../all/modules/civicrm/civicrm.settings.php (which enables us to switch civicrm bersions easily by changing just one link)
