Outdated VERSION in install_kraken2.sh for v2.1.4

[Simon-Brandt]

In the latest release v2.1.4, the install_kraken.sh hasn't been updated to reflect the version number:

kraken2/install_kraken2.sh

Line 9 in ce1df65

VERSION="2.1.3"

The Perl command

kraken2/install_kraken2.sh

Lines 32 to 35 in ce1df65

	perl -pl -e 'BEGIN { while (@ARGV) { $_ = shift; ($k,$v) = split /=/, $_, 2; $H{$k} = $v } }'\
	-e 's/#####=(\w+)=#####/$H{$1}/g' \
	"KRAKEN2_DIR=$KRAKEN2_DIR" "VERSION=$VERSION" \
	< "$file" > "$KRAKEN2_DIR/$(basename $file)"

should be the only one using that variable, replacing the placeholders in the following three scripts:

kraken2/scripts/kraken2

Line 233 in ce1df65

print "Kraken version #####=VERSION=#####\n";

kraken2/scripts/kraken2-build

Line 284 in ce1df65

print "Kraken version #####=VERSION=#####\n";

kraken2/scripts/kraken2-build

Line 284 in ce1df65

print "Kraken version #####=VERSION=#####\n";

This leads to a wrong version message:

$ kraken2 --version
Kraken version 2.1.3

But since these commands just write to stdout, the normal functions of Kraken2 should not be affected.—In the case of my Docker container, I just set

RUN sed --in-place 's/VERSION="2.1.3"/VERSION="2.1.4"/' install_kraken2.sh

in the Dockerfile to replace the version number.

Thank you for reporting this. I will make sure that the version is updated moving forward.
