OOPSLA - Scrapheap Challenge - Challenge 3 solution

For the last challenge, we built a dial that shows how far a local copy of an svn repository has diverged from a the repository.

For our solution we used

1. a shell script:

   LIST=`svn status | awk '{print $1}' | grep '^[ADMC]' | sed 's/^[MAD]/1/g' | sed 's/^C/10/g'`
   TOTAL='0'
   for i in $LIST
   do
    TOTAL=`expr $i + $TOTAL`
   done
   TOTAL=`expr $TOTAL \* 4`
   echo "angle=$TOTAL"
   A=`svn status | grep '^A' | wc -l`
   C=`svn status | grep '^C' | wc -l`
   M=`svn status | grep '^M' | wc -l`
   D=`svn status | grep '^D' | wc -l`
   echo "added=$A"
   echo "deleted=$D"
   echo "conflicted=$C"
   echo "modified=$M"
   

   
   this generates .properties file that looks like so:

   angle=52
   added=9
   deleted=0
   conflicted=0
   modified=4
   

2. This is then applied to a template which generates the xml data XML/SWF Gauge using an Ant script.
3. Another shell script can then wrap these two together.
4. An html file can then be deployed to a web server. Set up the aforementioned build script to drop the gauge.xml file there, and that's that.
