Release 0.1? #14

Closed lkraav closed 9 years ago

lkraav commented 9 years ago

Hi. Peekaboo looks fascinating. Can I get a git tag so I can send my package managers to pull the plugin with a version number? Tyvm sir

junegunn commented 9 years ago

I usually don't tag my plugins these days, as most Vim users just prefer to update to the latest version, but yeah, why not.

0.1.0 is up!

Thanks. Package management is still a rather optimal way to multiply a single configuration across machines without bolting on an external update strategy. I'd definitely appreciate it if every once in a while a tag would be pushed, no matter how random from a QA perspective.

I'm not completely sure what you mean by "Package management", it's a rather broad term. But judging from your comment, it looks like you can just use commit hashes instead of tags for that purpose, though I don't object tagging.

In case you didn't know, GitHub allows you to download archive at any point:

By package mgmt I mean distibution package mgmt: apt, portage, yum etc etc. Not pulling directly from the source repo.

Yep, and those archive URLs are exactly what I needed to get with the tag.

EDIT well it's true, that package managers can also install directly from git these days. It's just that at least on Gentoo you don't know where exactly you are at among different machines - all ebuild scripts will be version 9999, regardless of the HEAD hash that was pulled at the time of installation.

Everything above still applies, would be useful if some kind of tags could be produced. PS to lower the burdain of managing semantic versions etc crap, you could just use date-based stamps a la 20160820 for whatever state you think is stable enough. This will work fine for all distribution package managers.
