Add @next tag #42

Closed mindplay-dk closed 6 years ago

mindplay-dk commented 6 years ago

Could we have a dist-tag for picodom@next please?

So we can more easily help beta-test the next major version, updating examples, etc. before release.

jorgebucaran commented 6 years ago

@mindplay-dk Can you describe the process to make this possible?

mindplay-dk commented 6 years ago

The link seems to explain it? I don't know npm very well tbh.

jorgebucaran commented 6 years ago

@mindplay-dk I finally figured it out. I didn't need to use dist-tag. What one needs to do is is:

Bump the package version. I bumped it to 2.0.0.
git add and commit your stuff.
npm publish --tag next

This will publish a new version of your package that can only be installed with npm i picodom@next.

That's all. The dist-tag command is there to help you manage your published tags, listing them, adding or removing them, not publishing.

Oh, cool! Thanks for explaining it :-)

@JorgeBucaran I'm not completely sure, but I think the way to do this is by having a 2.0 branch (or next branch) where you work on this next version and then publish using --tag next, as you did.

I think now you can't continue to work on 1.x on master and publish further updates… :(

@acstll You are right Arturo. 😆

Thank for helping me understand the final piece of the puzzle, we'll do it right from now on (after 2.0.0).

@JorgeBucaran no problem. Open source FTW 😊
