Tag all pre-releases as release candidates #470

Open eproxus opened 4 months ago

eproxus commented 4 months ago

Can pre-release canditates always be tagged with rc? I'm thinking of the major version tags like 26 or 27. Currently, if one wants to stay always on the latest stable major version, it is not possible to tell if 27 is stable or not.

In this case I think 27 should be tagged 27-rcX instead until a stable version is released.

As in https://hub.docker.com/_/erlang ,

27.0-rc3.0.0, 27.0-rc3.0, 27.0-rc3, 27 27.0-rc3.0.0-slim, 27.0-rc3.0-slim, 27.0-rc3-slim, 27-slim 27.0-rc3.0.0-alpine, 27.0-rc3.0-alpine, 27.0-rc3-alpine, 27-alpine

Anything confused?

eproxus commented 4 months ago

Yes, I'd like the tag 27 to be 27-rc3 so that it is clear it is not a final release yet.

There are four tags, all are equal, each one is ok to be used, you can use 27.0-rc3 now.

eproxus commented 4 months ago

My issue is not with 27.0-rc3, the problem is (in my opinion) that 27 exists at all. Since it gives the impression that it is stable.

This tag name is an alias. And latest tag is the stable, current latest tag name is 26, not 27.
