What's going on with charmcraft versions? #365

Closed heitorPB closed 3 years ago

heitorPB commented 3 years ago

Hello.

The latest/edge is 0.10.xx but the latest/stable is 1.0.0. The latest/edge was released more than a month after 1.0.0, but its version is <1.0.0? The edge is newer (the date is more recent) and older (the version number is lower) at the same time?

is this on purpose? I see GitHub Milestones for versions 0.11 and 0.12, but that should have happened before 1.0.0?

This is confusing me, as the pack command is not the same on 1.0.0 and 0.10.0.

This is a temporary situation after going to stable with 1.0 feature branch. Note that edge is a reflection of master, each commit is released there. The transition will end in the following couple of weeks.

If you're after latest functionality, you should use edge. If you like a more conservative approach stick to stable.

I see.

How are the next releases going to be? The latest/stable will remain in 1.0.0 and the edge will go 0.11 and then 0.12? How will this work be incorporated in the 1.x branch?

Next release to stable is planned for June 22nd, see the full roadmap here (FTR, I just fixed the milestones here)

I think there's something not ideal with the way charmcraft snap is published. It again has the latest/edge behind latest/candidate:

Maybe the git tag was created immediately after publishing the edge snap? Is this process automated?

This is how we want to have it:

Track    Arch     Channel    Version          Revision
latest   amd64    stable     1.1.1            513
                  candidate  1.2.0            573
                  beta       ↑                ↑
                  edge       1.2+19.g7a1f50f  588

, being 1.2 the generic master evolution, while 1.2.X are specific releases.
