I am requesting a CDP package below, but it would be preferable to have a stable release. https://github.com/osam-cologne/archlinux-proaudio/issues/305

Sorry to bother you, but I would appreciate it if you could tag the release. https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/releasing-projects-on-github/managing-releases-in-a-repository

If you have any suggestions on package name and description, please let me know.

A tag in the Git repo at the point Release 8.0 was made would suffice, but creating a GitHub release from the tag would be even better.

The reason is that for packaging, as a general rule, we'd like to build from a source distribution archive, which:

This is all in the interest of reproducibility and longevity (i.e. also package of previous versions can still be built in the future).

I agree. Surely we should make use of github release mechanism

So version 8.0 is the same as 8.0.1?

richarddobson commented 9 months ago

If that is with reference to the README file, I am happy to edit that to make it 8.0. Individual programs have a wide range of version numbers (used by SoundLoom in various mostly hidden ways, to discover which versions of various CDP programs are installed), including a few up to 8.0.1. Some are still at 7.0.0 (etc, and even earlier) as they are unchanged. RD.

The README says "Version 8.0.1 (Beta)" and the download page, linked from website, says:

CDP has now released its 8th software upgrade (the first since 2014). Release 8.0 (Oct. 2023) strengthens CDP's toolset [...]

Versions of included components do not really matter in this context. The goal is to have an identifiable state of the code (i.e. marked by a unique version number that refers to a specific point (tag) in the git history), that can be also be retrieved later with the certainty that later changes do not affect this versions (i.e. by a source distribution archive with a unique file name).
