I'm not sure what you mean by 8.2. Are you talking about calling
the recipe:
vim_8.2.bb <http://vim_8.2.bb>
instead of vim_8.2.0110.bb <http://vim_8.2.0110.bb>?
Vim tags on a daily or more frequent basis. Are you saying that we
should keep the
same SRCREV for 8.2.0110 but use a different name?
I looked at:
git log v8.2.0000..v8.2.0118
and all the commits seem to fix bugs so I prefer to take this tested
v8.2.0110
update and update vim every month or two so that we get the latest
fixes.
Vim adds a tag for every single commit they make, fixes or not, so
this approach would in effect be updating to random development
snapshots. I would rather have a more conservative update strategy,
and update to the original 8.2 release. If you look at the homepage,
8.2 is the version they announced as the new release: https://www.vim.org/
Sure, that's fine for now. Most of the commits are bug fixes after 8.2
but we don't need to
worry about any of them now and I guess if we stick with this approach,
and say there as
a CVE for vim that we wanted to fix, we'd just backport the single
commit rather than
bump the version to 8.2.1248 or some such version.
That's also what 'devtool latest-version vim' should currently report
and 'devtool upgrade' upgrade to: I purposely cut off the point
releases and left only the major.minor part there.
Right. This will also give Oleg an excuse to try 'devtool upgrade' to
compare manually upgrading. :)
