That would work, but seems nonsensical to me: tags are immutable, branches are mutable. We want to makr a specific version, using an immutable marker is the correct tool. At least in theory... > GitHub thinks it has 36 releases, and packagist things the latest release is > 2013-06-something. Github and Packagist equate tags with releases? Huh. I'd say that sucks in a roayl way - to me, tags on master serve a completely different purpose. Only tags on a lelease branch mark actual releases. If this interpretation is a general convention, then I agree with your concerns, because then our tagging policy is misleading. But using branches instead of "internal tags" seems bad too. How do other projects handle this? -- daniel _______________________________________________ Wikidata-tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-tech
