I've been thinking about this release issue and I'm not sure that using the
prompt will help a lot.
Here is what I suggest:
# default behavior
The default supported version scheme is the 3-digit number. Buildr releases
VERSION_NUMBER minus -SNAPSHOT, and increments the last digit of that
version to get the new version.
1.0.0 -> 1.0.1
If the VERSION_NUMBER does not match this pattern, then the release should
fail.
We could relax this convention to check if the last char is a digit and if
so increment it.
# custom increment
If the default behavior does fit one's needs, the method
Release.bump_version receives a block that lets the user implement his
custom strategy. This will be consistent with Release#tag_name, and
#commit_message.
A buildfile could look like this:
VERSION_NUMBER='1.0.0-rc1-SNAPSHOT'
Release.bump_version = lambda { |version| # the version number without the
-SNAPSHOT suffix, i.e. 1.0.0-rc1
version[0..-2]+(version[-1].to_i+1).to_s # returns 1.0.0-rc2
}
When the version template changes - let's say you're done with the release
candidates - you will manually edit the buildfile and change the version
number to 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT. Then commit the buildfile.
What you guys think?
