Fix versioning scheme #37

Closed susilehtola closed 1 year ago

susilehtola commented 1 year ago

The newest version of packmol appears to be 20.4.1.

However, this version is smaller than 20.010 which was released in January 2020.

Please fix the version numbers.

I renamed v20.010 to v20.0.0. Does that fixes any issue you might have? Since that version I have strictly followed a semver scheme.

susilehtola commented 1 year ago

No, since 20.010 has been available all this time is still compares as newer than 20.4.1.

You need to release a version that has a version number higher than 20.010, such as 20.11 or 21.0.

How come this only happened now for you? I think all versions since 20.010 had that problem. In which context are you experiencing this issue?

susilehtola commented 1 year ago

Yes, all versions since 20.010 have this issue.

The context are binary packages of packmol. I maintain the Fedora package. Because of the broken versioning scheme, the automatic updates monitoring has not detected any new releases in a few years, since 20.010 shows up as the newest version.

Moreover, since 20.010 is the newest version of the package, it will not be updated by any later releases.

Ok. I released a 20.11.0 now. If that does not fix it, let me know.
