Move GIT revision number to build script (Trac #419)

[sasview-bot]

The command to fetch the GIT revision number must be put into the build script for all builds. I will send the appropriate information to Torben to be changed for the next revision.

Jeff should work with Torben on this as necessary -- I think he had it working locally but needed to make the change on the build machine as I recall. Also in spirit of disciplined and professional it really is time to get this done so moving it to critical list (can't call it blocker as is not really part of original core tasks we set out for this release).

• butler changed priority from "minor" to "critical"

Here is a quick overview of how to do this during the build.

Note that we need to use

git describe --tags

as the last annotated tag was version 3.0.0 which will make the version number look wrong. Of course that means we should be annotating our release tags with a -a option on the tag. However we should also not assume that all future tags will be properly annotated and the --tags option is most appropriate anyway.

Git hash is now included in /sasview/sasview/init.py

python run.py will extract the git hash

The build scripts have been updated to include the git hash for the installers.

The git hash is the long version:
1a4f4df

The git describe --tags is not implemented:
v4.0-alpha2-30-g1a4f4df

On Mac OS git hash is only to be seen on splash screen. The "about" is missing from the help menu.

• trnielsen changed _comment0 from:

Currently we only include git revision for sasview.

But SasView also depends upon

sasmodels
bumps
tinycc

So fra git has for sasmodels, bumps, and tiny is not included.

I think it would be useful to use

git describe -- tags

to pull the version number from - this command should pull the latest tagged version whether or not it was "annotated"

The current implementation is what was originally proposed and amply sufficient to understand which exact build version has the bug being reported so moving this to minor and next (+1) release.

Since we have now come around to using the original --tags We should either finish by automating the version number or decide that is not a good idea after all. Either way this ticket can then be closed.
