Hello Dick!
1) The November release candidate has been copied into
*https://kicad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kicad/tags/kicad-2007-Nov*
Notice that the day of month has been dropped and we are using 'Nov'
instead of 11.
Who is this "we"? ;-)
Such enumeration of versions is undesirable for example in my Gentoo
Linux.
It is impossible to correctly compare such versions at package upgrade.
The examples of good version numbering:
1.4
1.4.2
1.4-r2 (2 - is a release of package)
200711
20071122
200711-r468 (468 - is a SVN revision)
20071122-r468 (468 - is a SVN revision)
r468
Can we come to the consensus with KiCad versioning?
My propositions of numbering:
200711
20071122
or maybe 2.0
P.S. This is not a criticism, but a requirement for some compatibility.
Hi Dick and Igor,
(Just my 2 cents.) I thought that tags were not meant to be changed at all
as they represent a frozen release. In my understanding, I was expecting a
tag (for the current release) and a branch for future bug fixes. The
branch can be named kicad-2007-Nov or whatever but the tag should better
be a number (friendlyness with most package managers). I'd personnaly vote
for '20071122' as that's how past releases were done already.
Cheers,
