bump version to replace exfat #43

Closed tpgxyz closed 4 years ago

tpgxyz commented 4 years ago

exfat-utils version should be higher than https://github.com/relan/exfat fix #40

This will help to all packagers and maintainers in downstream distributions to help update over exfat-1.3.0

namjaejeon commented 4 years ago

@tpgxyz I decide to rename exfat-utils to exfatprogs. please read this address. https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/4/15/1885

Thanks!

tpgxyz commented 4 years ago

@namjaejeon anyways exfatprogs version should be still bigger than exfat as both software provides same binaries

namjaejeon commented 4 years ago

@tpgxyz mkfs/fsck -V will display exfatprogs version(not exfat-utils) like this.

>mkfs.exfat -V

exfatprogs version : 1.0.2

@namjaejeon pleae notice that distributions which provides exfat-utils = 1.3.0 also provide /usr/bin/mkfs.exfat in case of RPM (guess same situation on DEB) packaging you will have a conflicting files.

So as i wrote a maintainers and packagers will must add some weird workarounds to replace exfat-utils = 1.3.0 with exfatprogs = 1.0.2 as both provides almost the same binaries like mkfs.exfat Notice: 1.3.0 > 1.0.2

Easiest solution that does not cost anything is to bump version of exfatprogs to be higher that exfat-utils i.e 1.3.1 Thanks.

@tpgxyz We have the time till linux-5.7 kernel release out. This utilies is for exfat filesystem in linux kernel. I don't like to increment version number without updating code, Especially long jump. As I said on ISSUE you raise, I will consider version upgrade to >1.3.1 of exfatprogs with new feature(repair).

merge conflict and I have explained enough.
