One Answer:
I don't think there are tar-balls of specific svn revisions (other than releases) available except for the trunk (1.7 currently) Look in the automated downloads section for those. I think you'll have to use your svn client of choice to get that specific revision, simply use the update command to update to your target revision. answered 18 Oct '11, 03:17 grahamb ♦ edited 18 Oct '11, 03:18 showing 5 of 7 show 2 more comments |
I use tortoise svn. I've tried with it but failed to do so.
How can i know the list of updates done to 39457 right from 38101?
Assuming your working copy is connected to wireshark/trunk-1.6, from the menu select
TortoiseSVN | Update to revision...
and enter the appropriate rev number.To see the differences between revisions either use the viewvc interface on the server, e.g. here, or using TSVN again, use
TortoiseSVN | Show Log
to view the log of the part of the repo you are interested in, e.g. trunk-1.6, multiple select the two revisions of interest and then right click one of them and selectCompare revisions
Thanks. This answer would help me in Comparing revisions. Could you please tell me one thing? Finally, Can i download that revision? Is that possible?
As per my previous answer, I don't think that specific rev is available as a direct download, only by using an svn client.
I forgot to mention before that you can also just
checkout
a new working copy of a specific revision as well as updating an existing working copy. In the Checkout dialog there is a field to enter the required revision.I've tried using SWVN Checkout and revision number=38101 but after compiling and running; I cannot see Revision Number in About Wireshark Dialog Box. It shows "SVN Rev Unknown from Unknown".
I'm not sure about building from an "alternate" trunk such as trunk-1.6, but when building the main trunk, the makefile calls a perl script
make-version.pl
that adds the svn revision info to the build by creatingsvnversion.h
. This script uses the contents ofversion.conf
if present to control the output.I don't know why this isn't working for you, and can only suggest that you firstly ensure your working copy is absolutely clean, i.e. no modifications are shown in the wc by TSVN, and that you are building in your working copy and not exporting the files elsewhere for a build.
