This issue is a Request For Enhancement (Feature)
RPM and Deb distributions for some time allow to use
~suffix
in softwarepre-release versions (or distro releases). The benefit is that tagged
Version: 2~dev
is obviously devel only version, but at the same timeusers can rely on the fact that
2~dev < 2
, in contrast to2_dev > 2
.So maintainers can first bump to
2~dev
and later "bump" to2
only --and still there's guaranteed upgrade path from pre-release to production
release.
It would be nice if tito allowed us to do
tito tag --use-version=something-with-tilde
The problem here is that git doesn't allow us to create tags with
~
inname, that's because
~
has special meaning in git version jargon. So wewould have to have some clever
version to tag
andtag to version
translation. E.g.
tito tag --use-version=2~dev1
.. would create
<name>-<version>_prerelease_dev1-<release>
tag? Ideas?Or
