Wrong version tag prefix

Open Remi4001 opened this issue 8 months ago • 1 comments

Description Not a bug with ghdl, but i think there is a typo in the latest version tag b6.0.0.

Expected behaviour It should be v6.0.0 (unless there is a good reason for the b), because for packaging (at least in python-pyghdl-git in the AUR), git describe --long uses the version tag and then only the leading v is stripped leading to wrong version comparisons (b6.0.0 < 5.0.0) and attempts to update.

Context

  • OS: Linux (Arch)
  • Origin:
    • [x] Package manager: yay (python-pyghdl-git in AUR)
    • [ ] Released binaries: tarball_url
    • [x] Built from sources: 4c416ec3682f8caf391b5d87345a89e20e8e9344

Additional context This should be low priority. The only problem is that yay tries to update ghdl when it shouldn't and i have to ignore it.

@tgingold maybe it's best to release a 5.1.0 directly on main branch to fix it and clean it up.

The tag seems to have been deleted since then, so I'll just close this issue.

@Remi4001 by releasing v5.1.0, the workaround b6.0.0 was needed anymore. The count "commits since last tag" should be correct and count towards v5.1.0.
