...answers a lot of questions before they are even asked! Compiling the git SHA string into the code (-v) is huge too.
I use that in my code and find it reliable and highly useful. - dan -----Original Message----- From: devel [mailto:devel-boun...@ntpsec.org] On Behalf Of Hal Murray Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2016 3:42 AM To: devel@ntpsec.org Subject: Re: Version bump. dtpoi...@gmail.com said: > Folks also use odd numbers for development branches and adding a dot > release for new features. I think we should seriously consider the odd-even aproach. That solves most of the ambiguity problem. It uses the bottom bit of a numeric slot to indicate firm vs fuzzy status rather than our schemes for adding a "+" or "-" to the version string. waf calls our version string MAJOR.MINOR.REV I think we would use odd/even in two places, one for MINOR and again for REV. git tags would only have even numbers in both slots. We would bump the REV slot on an old release if we go back and patch it. -- These are my opinions.
