Hi All, 

I thought this would be a straightforward task but it appears to require arcane knowledge. 
I’m working with a few instances where I don’t have a DHIS 2 User account on the server I’m hosting so I cannot look at the About page but I would like to know the revision of the build.

Checking out a specific revision

ocelot|code:bzr branch -r 19119 lp:dhis2 b19119
ocelot|code:ls
2.17   2.18   b19119 dhis2  
ocelot|code:cd b19119/
ocelot|b19119:ls
dhis-2 local
ocelot|b19119:cd dhis-2/
ocelot|dhis-2:./build.sh
--mvn builds the project--

ocelot|dhis-2: zgrep -R 19119 *
dhis-services/dhis-service-core/target/antrun/build-main.xml:  <mkdir dir="/Users/dan/dhis2/code/b19119/dhis-2/dhis-services/dhis-service-core/target/classes"/>
dhis-services/dhis-service-core/target/antrun/build-main.xml:  <echo file="/Users/dan/dhis2/code/b19119/dhis-2/dhis-services/dhis-service-core/target/classes/build.properties" message="build.version = 2.20-SNAPSHOT&#10;build.time = ${now}&#10;build.revision = ${revision}&#10;"/>

It looks like the only place I can find the build revision number gets packaged in a jar and compressed. Is there anyway to find it by searching the exploded war file? 

Thanks,
Dan
