Hello, Here's a proposal on how we tag our releases. This is primarily to help continuous integration and stay in line with other communities. This should also help git describe do the right thing.
For those who don't have the context, currently we don't create tags at the beginning of the release. We create one (non-annotated) for every RC release. This doesn't help when we want to setup CI system for Mesos. There is no way to find the current version/release, going by tags, unless we hack around and parse configure.ac script. rainbow:mesos bhuvan$ git describe fatal: No annotated tags can describe '185dba5d8d52034ac6a8e29c2686f0f7dc4cf102'. However, there were unannotated tags: try --tags. rainbow:mesos bhuvan$ git describe --tags 0.18.0-rc6 The proposal is to create annotated tag at the beginning of every release and lightweight tag for RC releases. This way when we setup CI to build/package Mesos, we could find current version/release using git describe. Something in these lines. Note the tag 0.19.0 is created locally in my repository ... rainbow:mesos bhuvan$ git tag -a 0.19.0 -m '0.19.0 release' 99985d27 rainbow:mesos bhuvan$ git describe 0.19.0-220-gca84d5f If there are no disagreement, I'll file a ticket to create one for 0.19.0 release and document the release/tagging steps for future releases. -- Regards, Bhuvan Arumugam www.livecipher.com
