Dates do not convey useful branch information which is important from a developer point of view. It seems to me that 5.1.0-dev would sort before 5.1.0-rc1 or am I missing something? Would one of our package devs care to comment. If this sorts properly, I will change the kicad version and repo

Why not just use the date at which the nightly was compiled? So something like dev-snapshot--mm-dd_g23849572 This is sortable and it should confuse nobody. On 24/07/18 23:58, Eeli Kaikkonen wrote: ti 24. heinäk. 2018 klo 22.59 Wayne Stambaugh (stambau...@gmail.com

If we are fine with 5.1-dev (it is my preference as well), then I'll set the tag to 5.1-dev and update KiCadVersion.cmake before the end of the day. The reason I used 6.0.0-rc1 is that there were complaints that the #.#-dev format was confusing. Let's agree on a tagging scheme and stick with it
