[Freeciv-Dev] [patch #3462] Separate metaserver version tag for Windows installer builds
Follow-up Comment #1, patch #3462 (project freeciv): Do we want a win32-S2_4 tag for 2.4.0-betaX/rcX, rather than plain win32? When 2.5.0-beta1 comes round, we presumably want all the 2.4.x Windows builds to display the current stable Win32 release, not the betas. Is that what win32 will mean -- _stable_ win32 release? (Also, I notice that the There is no newer %s release of freeciv available is i18n'd, but the tag stable of course is not. Not sure we can reasonably fix that, so perhaps need translators to add scare quotes '%s'.) ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/patch/?3462 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #2, patch #3462 (project freeciv): I think single win32 should mean latest stable release(1). If we had 2.4 releases following 2.4 specific tag, they would never inform users about 2.5 series existence. I have added branch specific S2_4 and S2_5 tags to metaserver side, but I don't plan to using them in any builds we do - they are just an option for those people who make their own builds and want to follow specific branch (so that if 2.5.0 is released before 2.4.3, 2.4.2 user will get notification about 2.4.3) (1) Tag win32 should inform users of stable releases about stable releases only. But I still think we should use it for *2.4* betas. There's no earlier users of the tag, so listing betas there would not inform any stable users, only those of earlier 2.4 betas. So using it for betas would not only provide beta testing for the feature, but also be service to users. Have to think about the translation thing. I think it would be doable by adding file containing string(s) that is used only as POTFILES.in source. Presumably these strings need to qualified ones, so some code magic is needed too. Ah, stuff for new ticket. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/patch/?3462 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
