[Bug 497927] Re: (FR) Build number and release date should be obtained automatically

 

Yeah, that's right. But I don't think there's a direct way to find the
current revision number independently from the repository software
binaries (svn, bzr etc.).

Another approach could be (defensively) to try to get the current
revision number from the repository. If this is not possible (e.g. in
case the binary is not available), then just add '1' to the current
build number.

Bug description:
We should find a way to automatically integrate the current build number from the VCS (i.e. using "bzr revno", but a solution which does not depend on the bzr binary would be even better) and the current date (should be rather simple) dynamically into the build script, that is, without relying on resources/appResources.properties. This would simplify bug tracking from development builds. Since these strings are currently updated rather rarely, "Help->About" often reports incorrect information.
