Allow codadd to create .codadef files #39

Open svniemeijer opened 5 years ago

svniemeijer commented 5 years ago

We currently have a shell script that uses grep/set/sort/head to determine the last modification date and then uses zip to create the .codadef file (from a directory of .xml files). The problem is that this script only works on Linux/macOS systems but not on Windows.

It would be more convenient to have this functionality provided by the codadd tool:

1) it would allow us to build .codadef files on Windows 2) other software that wants to create .codadef files can then use a tool that already comes installed with CODA (instead of having to bundle their own version of a codadef.sh script).
