Martin Nowak <c...@dawg.eu> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |c...@dawg.eu --- Comment #1 from Martin Nowak <c...@dawg.eu> --- > For the second release in a row (2.070.0 followed by 2.071.0), dmd has been > released with the VERSION file not updated to match the release version That's not entirely correct b/c the downloadable packages contain the correct VERSION file, it's only that the tagged git commits have an incorrect VERSION file. Now we could validate that the VERSION file contains the to be build tag, but this will be a constant nuisance, e.g. deleting already created tags, changing the VERSION from 2.071.0-b1 to 2.071.0-b2, retag, and build. I'd instead suggest that any build script using the git repo or tags, should get the VERSION from git or write the VERSION file when downloading a tar bundle from github. VERSION can also be set through make -f posix.mak VERSION=2.071.0. --
