Does libgrabber verify if files are new?

Open tomByrer opened this issue 10 years ago • 3 comments

I found a project that seemed to fail to upload the new files after bumping a new release. 2 clues:

  • file dates are 2 weeks old after the new 0.3.1
  • top-line comment still reads the old 0.3.0 version.

I'd think it would be nice to at least warn of old files, so our admins won't push a non-update update when they're multitasking.

I think its too much work for such rare cases

We could check for files identical to the previous release by using a checksum relatively easily, but it does seem like overkill for what I would presume is such a rare occurrence.

check for files identical to the previous release

That works. What happened in this case was the docs were changed, but not source, so he bumped the version anyhow. I can see someone bumping version for changing only dev dependencies also. But yes, very uncommon case.
