Installation via pkg.go.dev #47

Closed justincpresley closed 1 year ago

Version Discrepancy

The latest version of yanfd according to pkg.go.dev is v1.1.1 which was published on May 9, 2022. In contrast, the github (source) of yanfd states that the latest version is v1.1.0 published on April 21, 2022.

I believe this issue originated when moving the repository of yanfd from the account of @zjkmxy to the organization of @named-data. My justification for this is that the fork of zjkmxy has a tag called v1.1.1. I am not confidence how this issue can be handled. Releasing a version past v1.1.1 likely will not resolve the issue.

However, this is arguably an critical issue as users will be lead to install out-of-dated software thinking it is the updated version reflected on Github (where they are reading the README to install).

Installation Needs

When installing yanfd on a Ubuntu 20.04, Linux system according to the README. there were a series of errors that were resolved by installing extra dependencies not stated in the README. The following were the list of packages that I needed to install via apt before running YaNFD:

Making this clear will ease installation for beginners.

Needed Released

There has been several changes to YaNFD that I believe warrant a upcoming release.

A v1.1.1 tag does exist in this repo, but there is no corresponding "release" for it. As you know, "release" is a github-specific concept, and unfortunately the github UI will prefer showing the latest "release" on the main page of the repo even if it's outdated, i.e., even if a newer tag exists. Yes, it is confusing.

Thank you for your comments. Version Discrepancy: I have already released v1.1.1. As stated by Davide, the tag exists, just not released because I added this tag through git push instead of github UI. Installation Needs: Will handle it. Needed Released: Will handle it.

I did the changes you requested. But I don't have time to work on the Windows Store release for now. Let me leave this issue open.

Just to note, there is a misspelling of libpcap in the Prerequisites ( libpacp ).

I have uploaded v1.2.0.0 to Windows Store and it is in certification progress. I think it is time to close this issue if there is no other problems.
