I have just discussed with Morty a good strategy to always have a
,,latest'' tag in X2go Git projects that refers to the newest tag.
The idea is to provide nightly-builds as well as ,,stable'' builds
(which refers to the latest tag in Git).so the nightly-builds should be build from the commit tagged with »latest«?
Nope, I had to read the mail trice, before I noticed, that Mike was talking about the same thing. Basically we talking were talking about an easy way to check out the "latest" _release_. Mike was assuming that only releases get tagged.
Thank you Morty.
Well I see two options.
- If incremental releases are planned (x.1; x.2; …) – for example for
small corrections (
cherry-picked frommaster) or security fixes – then a separate branch is needed. - If everything is in one branch and the versioning/tagging is defined, then maybe a script could check the lastest release without any tag by sorting all the tags and picking the biggest value.
I am sorry for not reading up on what has been decided on the release policy.
Thanks,
Paul
