Re: [Kicad-developers] Why do current nightlies report that they are kicad 5.0.0-rc2?

Here is what I will do that should work. I will leave the current version tag and version string as is until rc2 is released. From there on I will only update the version string in KiCadVersion.cmake to 5.0.0-rc2-unknown in the next commit after the tag. This way the version string will will be

Re: [Kicad-developers] Why do current nightlies report that they are kicad 5.0.0-rc2?

I would not change anything. As long as your version increments as documented, there is no problem. But if you change that by jumping backwards, you create an exception that has the opportunity to bite people. So what if you skipped RC1 in your version string (and therefore in your

Re: [Kicad-developers] Why do current nightlies report that they are kicad 5.0.0-rc2?

To prevent version issues for packagers, I will remove the -rc2 tag from the source repo and change the default (when git is not found) version string to 5.0.0-rc1-unknown to indicate that the version is somewhere between rc1 and rc2. I don't know that this makes things any clearer or not but I'm

Re: [Kicad-developers] Why do current nightlies report that they are kicad 5.0.0-rc2?

I know what the G means, just wish git describe had an option to disable it, since it makes copy/paste more tedious. I think if we had left the tag at rc1, then we'd just have users thinking they had rc1 when they really have a newer nightly. Better to make a new tag that doesn't include rcN in

Re: [Kicad-developers] Why do current nightlies report that they are kicad 5.0.0-rc2?

I think it would have been better if the commit after 5.0.0-rc1 was not tagged 5.0.0-rc2-dev. Then the git describe would make more sense. It would indicate that it was based on the 5.0.0-rc1 with additional commits and its hash. The g stands for git according to the man page.

Re: [Kicad-developers] Why do current nightlies report that they are kicad 5.0.0-rc2?

I have seen multiple users who run nightlies think they have RC2 because they read "5.0.0-rc2" and stop reading after that :-) Maybe we should switch the tag back to "5.0-dev" between RC releases? I think all of us developers are going to look up the git hash anyway to know exactly when a given

Re: [Kicad-developers] Why do current nightlies report that they are kicad 5.0.0-rc2?

The version string should look like 5.0.0-rc2-dev-176-g53c9143b6 or 5.0.0-rc2-dev. The latter only happens if KiCad is built from a source archive or git isn't available to generate the full version sting. Wayne On 3/12/2018 10:02 AM, Rene Pöschl wrote: > Hello > > It seems at least some

Re: [Kicad-developers] Why do current nightlies report that they are kicad 5.0.0-rc2?

Yes, the version string was bumped to 5.0.0-rc2-dev Maybe it would be less confusing to have it be "5.0.0-pre-rc2-dev" ? On Mon, Mar 12, 2018 at 10:02 AM, Rene Pöschl wrote: > Hello > > It seems at least some packages of current nightlies report themselves as > version
