Hi Matt,

Well, the problem with that is that there is no change number associated with the files you have. You might have half of change number 25000, and half of 25001. For our nightly builds, we just use the change number of the top-of-tree, since that's what we build. For "official" builds, we just make a label as part of the build script, and use the change number to get an idea of roughly when the build was done.

If that's all your doing, wouldn't the output of 'p4 counter change' be a little more enlightening? This is what i've been playing with.

I've run into the problem that this always returns the most recent revision, not the revision which is what i have in my client workspace. Is there a way to get that number?

Hi Matt,

We just use a perl script that hunts it down in the output of 'p4 changes -m 1'. That, in turn, sets an environment variable and a compiler switch as needed.

I'm looking to create a way to set some versioning information in our application using the last changelist number that was submitted against the depot. Does anyone with more experience have any insight into a good way to do this? I was thinking of using a trigger to update a text file but I am sure this is not the best way to do this.
