run.sh: provide a flag to indicate major version #2208

Closed damithc closed 3 months ago

damithc commented 6 months ago

Context: see https://reposense.org/ug/runSh.html

Suggested: provide a way to specify that the latest release of a specific major version should be used. For example --version 3.* will use the latest version that starts with 3.

Justification: This way, the user can take advantage of latest bug fixes while avoiding breaking changes (assuming breaking changes will only be introduced in new major versions)

Hi, I'm interested in taking this issue, but it appears that it will require changes to the publish-RepoSense repo? Should we make a PR to that repo?

@jedkohjk Yes, you can make a PR to the publish-RepoSense repository.

Hi, is it okay to do this as an extension of the --tag flag instead of adding a new --version flag? That is, allowing --tag to take in an expression with the wildcard *, then picking the latest version that fits that expression.

Hi @jedkohjk, sounds good to me. This'd be a natural extension of the --tag flag.

Hi, I made a PR related to this 3 days ago. Can anyone review it? Thank you!
