newversion.cmd
replaces the re-motion assemblies in a given project for those from a new version. This tool assumes that the (PhoneBook) project's
assemblies are stored in the Remotion\net-3.5\bin\Debug
subdirectory. The tool uses the unzipper 7z.exe
to unpack a given Remotion_X.zip
file from the Development
directory on the development server.
Unfortunately, 7z.exe
can't extract specific files from an archive. We must extract everything into a temporary ("scratch") directory and cherry-pick the files from the scratch\net-3.5\bin\Debug
subdirectory. These files are copied to the specified project. Before copying, the specified target Remotion\net-3.5\bin\Debug
sub-directory is deleted recursively.
In the tools directory (or wherever), incant
newversion C:\PhoneBook-SVN 1.13.13.0 |
This replaces all files in C:\PhoneBook-SVN\Remotion\net-3.5\bin\Debug
for the net-3.5\bin\Debug
files in the Remotion_1.13.13.0.zip
files.

A stupid weakness is the tool's shotgun-approach to deleting files. The recursive "delete all" semantics covers the .svn
directories, too. This doesn't do any harm, because these directories are write-protected. However, trying to delete the .svn
directories IS scary. A more selective approach would be better.
