The map files are concatentated together
into the directory.txt file.  This file is the input into the FetchScriptGenerator.

The FetchScriptGenerator outputs two
files: pluginVersions.properties and featureVersions.properties.
It is these two files that the BuildScriptGenerator
uses to replace the qualifiers.  So your BIRT versions tools should
update these files instead of the directory.txt

Subject	RE: Fw: questions about the BIRT build system

Hi Kim,
 
Sorry for bothering again.
 
I have a question about the
version control again.
Since BIRT’s CVS tagging is
not performed by the developers, so what I plan to do now is:
1. Check out from HEAD according
to the map file. I use <plugin.name>=HEAD in the map file.
2. Use BIRT version tools to
generate cvs diff log and update the “HEAD” in directory.txt with the
real version (like v20061017-0630).
3.  Run the generate script
target to generate the build.xml of each plugin. ( I did NOT set the property
${forceContextQualifier})
 
According to the wiki, I thought
the version should be get from map file. So they should be replaced with
the replaced value in directory.txt.
But it seems the replacement
still use the current timestamp.
 
Is there anything I missed?
Or modifying directory.txt is not enough?
 
Thanks,
Xiaoying
