Hopefully this is a trivial problem that exposes my gradle/groovy inexperience.
As part of distributing my application, I want to generate a text file with a version / timestamp into the tar. Is there an easy way to do this as part of the distributions plugin?
apply plugin: 'distribution'
distributions{
main{
contents{
includeEmptyDirs false
into('/'){
from file('stuff/build/after_inst_script')
//want to create a 'version.txt' with the date, etc here
}
}
}
