qx contrib: need to get rid of "v" in version names #226

Closed cboulanger closed 5 years ago

cboulanger commented 5 years ago

ATM, we have a mix of version names with and without the "v" prefix. This is confusing and should be settled to only have the version number without the prefix.

oetiker commented 5 years ago

the reason some people tag with 'v' as the first character is to prevent tags to be read as numbers by well-meaning scripting languages :)

cboulanger commented 5 years ago

@oetiker Yes, I agree, just that qx contrib install --release should accept both or enforce one way of stating the version number (probably without v). Currently you have to look carefully using qx contrib list which way the version number is specified - that is onerous.

cboulanger commented 5 years ago

The current implementation requires the "v" because it unambiguously identifies a release of a qooxdoo package on github. The "v" could be stripped in the list but that would only cause confusion. Closing.
