In order to build and rsync d-programming-language.org, I must get the latest release of Phobos.

To do so, I need to figure out a mechanical way to fetch the latest release from github (probably in a separate tree from the one I'm working on). Then I build the html off that tree and rsync it with the website.

How can I get the last Phobos release from github?


Thanks,

Andrei

I've found this helps a lot: http://progit.org/book/

Well, if you already have a git repository there, then just run

git-pull remote-name master

(where remote-name is whatever you named the main repository as a remote branch - be it origin or upstream or whatever) and it'll grab the most recent version. If you aren't doing any development on that branch, then it'll merge just fine. The only issue that I can think of would be that it might have to deal with authentication (though if you use the http link, I think you can avoid that, since you wouldn't have commit privileges anyway). And if you want to do it from scratch every time, then just clone the repository and then run the build instead of pulling and then running the build.

If you want to find the latest reachable tag, take a look at *git describe*

This should do it in a checkout of master: git checkout $(git describe
--abbrev=0)

I need the latest release e.g. 2.052, not the latest and greatest in master. So this is more of an issue on how we tag releases in github and how I can get the most recent such tag.

Is this what you're looking for: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/tree/phobos-2.052
