Please name git tags after the project version (or add two tags per release)

Open bluca opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

At the moment annotated git tags are named after the release date, rather than the version. This makes life for packagers harder, as there is a mismatch, and many automated tools fail. Eg: I cannot use the tag for the version when packaging in Debian as reverse dependencies will reference the actual version. But not using the actual git tag means automation to watch for new releases and import them does not work and has to be adjusted manually every time, which is a considerable waste of time. This is unlike what any other project does.

Eg, you call the latest release Azure DevOps CLI extension for Azure CLI 0.24.0 but the git tag is https://github.com/Azure/azure-devops-cli-extension/tree/20220310.1

Please tag releases with the version (it can be an additional git tag, doesn't have to be either/or).
