Hi folks,
I'd like to bring this issue to your attention to canvas some feedback
regarding the use of version suffixes:
https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/16716
This is basically a proposal to allow an optional version suffix like
"-rc3", "-beta1" etc. in addition to the existing
major.minor.patch.tweak pattern, for better interoperability with
systems and software releases already using such suffixes, and also to
permit the use of such suffixes by CMake projects for their own
purposes. A version suffix would be usable anywhere currently using 4
digit versions, with all the necessary functionality in CMake being
updated to handle this.
The proposal linked above contains a much more detailed rationale and
suggested implementation strategy. I'd be very happy to hear any
thoughts anyone has regarding this either on the above issue, or here.
Thanks all,
Roger
