I'm trying to build a package for mig to make it easier to get mig-console up and running for investigators. I currently maintain a -git package that should "just work". I ran into the following issues that I need help with. :)

  • the latest tag is very old, releasing more frequently would allow me to build a package that doesn't build from git master, but from explicit releases. This package would theoretically qualify for archlinux community so you could just pacman -S mig-console if somebody from archlinux adopts the package.
  • the version scheme of the last tag contains invalid symbols. - is reserved and I currently apply some sed magic to adjust them. The regular format of 1.2.3 would be perfect, but anything else also works for me, given that the format sorts correctly. If you want to stick to the date and commit hash, you could use 20170308.4.895c6104 where the first field is the date, the second field is for multiple releases per day and the 3rd field is the commit hash. Sort-ability is a problem with the currently available releases.

Thanks!
