Curious.  Why don't developers
do the tagging?  Presumably developers have to decide what is good
and what is not.  It should also be developers who are deciding what
goes into an integration build.  So it is unclear how the BIRT version
tool can do these things for you.

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

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,
