Release tags?

Question

Release tags?

miketheman opened this issue 11 years ago · comments

Any chance you could create a 'release' or tag with the current stable version?
The 'homebrew' project uses these to help with installation.

There's been a couple open requests for this over time, and it would behelpful to the users at large.

Thanks!

+1 (I was about to make an issue about this myself). I'm planning to package it for NixOS/nixpkgs.

I could tag every single commit that goes into master, yes, but I don't honestly see the benefit in that. The master branch of gitstats is as stable as it gets.

Does NixOS require tags for packaging from git?

No, NixOS does not require git tags. It's just a preference of mine to have version numbers, something that signals "this is ready for downstream/users". If upstreams don't provide releases, we tend to use the YYYY-MM-DD as version number for the package.

I just mentioned NixOS/nixpkgs because I think releases and tags makes more sense from a package manager view point. If I was to just clone this repo and build it manually out of the source tree, I probably wouldn't care that much about tags or releases.

This is now available via homebrew head-only. https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-head-only
