svninfo

Version 0.7.4, 23 March 2010

Description

This package is used to extract the revision and file information provided by the Subversion revision control system.

To maintain different versions of a document or to keep track on the development of one, the document is kept under a revision control system like SCCS, CVS, or Subversion. This LaTeX package assumes you are using the Subversion system. To present the version information of a document, one needs to extract it from some kind of text inserted by the revision control system. Subversion offers therefore the Id keyword, which is expanded by the Subversion update command and contains a lot of useful information. This information is made available through this package. The information obtained from the expanded string are:

The filename,
the revision number,
the date and time of the last Subversion co command, and
name of the user who has done this action.

For each of these items a macro is defined. When updating a file, the Subversion keywords should be contained in the updated source. Further, one has to set the Subversion property for keyword expansion of that file, e.g.

svn propset svn:keywords "Id" svninfo.dtx

Installation

To install: unpack and

    make

or execute the commands manually:

    latex svninfo.ins     // creates the file of this package
    latex svninfo.dtx     // create the package documentation

The following files are created by 'latex svninfo.ins'

 svninfo.cfg
 svninfo.sty
 svninfo.perl
 svninfo.init

then copy the files

    svninfo.sty
    svninfo.cfg

to a place where LaTeX can find it, e.g.,

    $HOME/tex/inputs

and set the environment variable

    TEXINPUTS=$HOME/tex/inputs//:$TEXINPUTS
