VERSIONDATE does not get replaced in tikz-trackschematic.sty #16

Closed apriljunge closed 2 years ago

In all bash scripts (except create-release.sh) the replacement of VERSIONDATE is missing. This breaks the scripts.

It should not break the testing.sh and dev-install.sh! They do not rely on a correct VERSIONDATE. Only CTAN requires a correct versioning of the .sty-file.

When I execute pdflatex I get this error:

(/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/local/tikz-trackschematic-dev/tikzlibrarytrackschematic-dev.code.tex)
! Missing = inserted for \ifnum.
<to be read again> 
                   V
l.9

I can solve this by removing [VERSIONDATE tikz-trackschematic] completely or replacing VERSIONDATE it with a valid date. This issue is discussed here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/274650/missing-inserted-for-ifnum
