[Anthill] version file - problems when sharing between 2 projects

[Michael Dunbar]

I have 2 anthill OS projects corresponding to my 1 "actual" project - one which runs unit tests and one which runs functional tests - because I want to run them on different schedules. I set it up for them to share the same version file (in PVCS), but I noticed that they were running even when no changes were made to the codebase - they were picking up changes to the version file, and building based on that:

09/15/2004 09:46:36	pottery     lines deleted/added/moved: 0/0/0
	.version: Committed_by Anthill

09/15/2004 10:01:52	pottery     lines deleted/added/moved: 0/0/0
	.version: Committed_by_Anthill
 

Since I don't see this problem when only one project is active, I assume each project is building based on changes the other made to the version file.

Has anyone seen this, and can you propose a work around? I thought of either taking the version file out of PVCS (not recommended) or using separate version files (how to keep them in synch?), but am wondering is there is a better way. Any way to tell Anthill to not include the version file when checking revisions?

Thanks,
Mike
