RTC ignore specific lines in source

Question

I have a project that generates JavaScript files. I'll like to add date and time for when these files where generated. But i want RTC to ignore these lines.

How do i do that?

Answer 1

But i want RTC to ignore these lines.

This is not possible with Jazz RTC.

And you don't add versioning metadata (like who modifies what) in a data (the file).

What you want to see is done with RTC annotate.

But if you generate a file with those information, then you could add that generated file to a .jazzignore, in order to make sure RTC doesn't try to check it in.

You can use lscm annotate in order to generate such a file.
See this example:

$ lscm annotate flux.capacitor/requirements.txt 
1 Marty (8556) 2009-11-04 02:47 PM                    - Must not need any more than 1.5 gigawatts of power 
2 Marty (8556) 2009-11-04 02:47 PM                    - Determine minimum necessary speed 
3 Doc   (8616) 2009-11-04 02:47 PM Results of initial t - Initial trials suggest 60kmh 

You can redirect the output of that command to a file:

$ lscm annotate flux.capacitor/requirements.txt > flux.capacitor/requirements.annotated
