How to customize name of output tarball?

[h9812]

How can I do if I want the output tarball name to contain git commit ID? For example: project_release-<commit id>.tar.gz instead of project_release-1.tar.gz. Thank you for helping!

The 1 comes from the release version in relx.config. You can probably set "1" to {git, short} instead (or {git, long} if you prefer). Not sure it's going to work with everything though as I haven't tested it.

It didn't work. Here is my relx.config file:

{release, {testerl2_release, {git, short}}, [testerl2, sasl, runtime_tools]}.
{dev_mode, false}.
{include_erts, true}.
{extended_start_script, true}.
{sys_config, "config/sys.config"}.
{vm_args, "config/vm.args"}.

OK then I guess the code must be modified to support it, sorry.

[essen]

I suppose you can always edit the file automatically and put the commit as a string one way or another, perhaps extending rel::. But it's not built-in currently.

I'll try your suggestion. Thank you for your helping!
