New release planned? #75

Closed a3f closed 1 year ago

a3f commented 1 year ago

v1.6.1 was released on June 8th, 2021. Are there plans for a new release in near future? Are there blockers I could help with?

I don't really plan releases, but several people have requested one.

Are there blockers I could help with?

Kind of, yes. On my system, at least, the Python library doesn't build/install, with a cryptic error in setuptools. That's the main blocker to making a release right now.

See #78 for more info on the pylibfdt build failure.

@a3f #78 turns out not to have been a real bug (well, mostly) but something messed up in my local git tree. So, I have that working again. Next, I have some problems with updates due to problems with my kernel.org public key. I'm working on that and hope to have it sorted out soon.

Thanks for the release! Already imported into barebox-next. :-)

Unfortunately there are some problems in the release - it took me a while to get an actual signed tarball up, and then I discovered I forgot to bump the version for meson builds. So, I probably need to make a 1.7.1 pretty soon. Still I hope this works for you in the meantime.

Maybe it's worth single-sourcing the version number? You can use something like VERSION.txt and read it into meson with:

-  version: '1.7.0',
+  version: files('VERSION.txt'),

I'd say you could then read it in the Makefile and split it into 3 (subst, word n for example) but it doesn't seem you need it to be 3 different Makefile variables anyway?

eli-schwartz commented 1 year ago

Note that using files() like this requires a minimum meson version of 0.57.0 (no meson_version: is specified in meson.build though).

That's obviously the best approach, it's just a question of finding time to do it.
