Missing git tags for recent release?
According to the Internet, there is ipv6toolkit v2.0, but the download URL (http://www.si6networks.com/tools/ipv6toolkit/ipv6toolkit-v2.0.tar.gz) doesn't exist anymore (#70 claims this, too) - and there are also no git tags for any recent release of ipv6toolkit. Aside of that the actual versioning is very confusing in general (#62 claims this, too), because:
- CHANGES.TXT talks about "SI6 Networks IPv6 Toolkit v2.1"
- tools/ipv6toolkit.h talks about "SI6 Networks' IPv6 Toolkit v3.0"
- tools/script6 talks about "SI6 Networks IPv6 Toolkit v4.0"
- tools/blackhole6 talks about "SI6 Networks IPv6 Toolkit v3.0"
The current situation makes it hard to impossible to properly package ipv6toolkit for further Linux distributions.
This is super-bad (apologies!).
I'll do this:
- Ensure consisetncy. -- Please see: my comment for issue #62
- Put back v2.0 in place rightaway
- Plan to release v3.1 asap to fi all outstanding issues.
Thoughts?
I like the proposal from @alvarezp in #62. Given I'm not sure where v3.1 would originate from (because I never saw a v3.0 so far), I am not sure what to answer here. If you refer to the version in the scripts itself…well, there also has been v4.0 already.
An important point from my point of view is to get the mentioned list actually done, because the v2.0 tarball is still not in place.
Hello,
It would be great to have a new tagged release. Then the maintainers of the tool in various distributions could update it. Thanks
