[Interest] compile SVN-Version into Project with qmake

[Scott Aron Bloom]

Unfrotunately, it doesn’t work well for versioning...

Since the file wont change, svn wont update it...  The CVS model always inserted the version on update...

SVN doesnt

Hey,
Yesterday I talked to a friend about my issues with the svn-revision in the code an he told me that there is a special SVN properties to realise something like that:

the property is called:
svn:keywords

It can be used to let SVN fill in values for special magic keywords each time the file gets changed.

See
