versioning

I'm trying to setup a (I thought) fairly simple versioning system for static html pages on a site. The goal is to keep previous versions of the content, then restore to them if needed (I guess basically creating a new version that's a duplicate of an old one), and optionally to toss out data older than X versions ago. The table's setup is fairly straightforward: id reference_id (string/used to determine what page the item pertains to) content (document/html page sized amount of data) e_user (user who changed it last) e_timestamp (when it was changed) I just want to have something setup to

I am using the paper_trail gem for versioning my models. So far, my model depends on the info_for_paper_trail method in ApplicationController : class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base # Extra columns to store along with PaperTrail `versions` def info_for_paper_trail { revision_id: @revision.id, revision_source_id: @revision_source.id } end end This works great in context of the controller, but is there a way that I can replicate this sort of thing outside the context of the controller (e.g., a delayed job)? I tried creating a virtual attribute called revision and passing a proc

I am using the latest (as of today) .NET Core tooling. There, you specify version in an <Version> MSBuild property. However, unlike [assembly:AssemblyVersion], this does not appear to support wildcards. How do I make version increment automatically in the same way? Explaining why this is a bad idea, and what should be done instead would also be a good answer. natemcmaster The Version property in MSBuild does not support asterisks (wildcard) format as project.json did. However, with MSBuild you can compute a version in other ways. There is no one right way to do it, but here is one approach. We

I would like to switch from Dropbox to the open source Sparkleshare. It uses git for the syncing and versioning. If say I had a 1GB file I deleted in my folder, it stays within the history of the local .git folder. But I would like to have this kind of heavy data on the server and not the client. How can I commit my repository and delete the local one with git? Many thanks! Solution removing the history git fetch --depth=1 to prune the old commits. This makes the old commits and their objects unreachable. git reflog expire --expire-unreachable=now --all . To expire all old commits and their

I need to clear(equivalent to Clear Data in App Settings ) all the old data in the app programmatically when the user updates the app from Google Play Store or any other sources. This is because I don't need any of the existing data from the old app since I have changed everything in the new app compared to the old one. I thought of implementing a version check at the app startup, but I can't find a way to get the app's previous versionCode or versionName . The only way I figured out to clear the data is to check the lastUpdateTime at the time of publishing the app. But it's not reliable since

I'm looking for a version numbering scheme/pattern/system for an application that is currently branched into several versions with shell game style release dates. This has made versioning a nightmare. I'd like to just use the typical Major.Minor.Revision however this will break down for me quickly the way things are presently run around here. Here is my inventory... 1.0.0 - Production version. 1.0.1 - Production revision version with bug fixes. 1.1.0 - Production minor version with new features due in July (regulations compliance, must be done). 1.2.0 - Production minor version with new

I'm using Eclipse RCP, but, mainly because i have total control of the UI (removed all contributions, made Preferences from scratch, etc) i just cannot accept the complexity and demand of the included UPDATE MANAGER (also, i use PLUGINS not features, and the app Plugin must be EXTRACTED - though i could get arround this last issue). Anyway, on a first approach i just want to check IF there is a newer version of the app available. The logical way would be to check against a file (xml?) on a server. Is there a good library and example out there? Thanks. Eclipse now supports p2, a much more
