Use tags to alert Debian and other distros

[eribertomota]

Hi!

Please, use tags to create versions to allow the Debian and other distros can track new versions.

Thanks!

Cheers,

Not sure what you mean. Isn't this automatically done by github releases? Also do you have any documentation about the workflow you propose and how that "integrates" with the distros?

Hi! Thanks for your quick reply.

Yes, if you do a tag, the GitHub will create a release. However, you don't have any tag/release now[1].

About a workflow, you need to put a tag only. The distros will use regex to track all tags. You can see an example here[2].

In that case nothing needs to change, the reason why you don't see a release is that there was none after the move to github. Hopefully soon if time permits.

There is the possibility of you tag in GitHub the last released version? (I think that is 20120802)

Thanks

Does not make sense, the tag is linked to the state of the git repo. 20120802 is not a state in the git repo.

[eribertomota]

Yes. In git you can add a tag to a specif commit. An example:

$ git tag -am "Tagging version 0.01." 0.01 e6a4f0707a

I know but there is no such commit in the git repo ;)

[eribertomota]

Ah, ok. :-D

Yesterday I uploaded a new revision of the libpff to Debian. I used a 10-day delay[1] to wait for a reply for you. This revision says that the package doesn't have releases. This is the only case without releases. So, I will wait for a future release to change the watcher.

Thanks a lot for your work. I appreciate it.
