From 6d55e3a3641b35dd2bb4306711b4db4004bf6817 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daan De Meyer Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2024 14:00:50 +0100 Subject: Use tilde for rc tag versioning MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit tilde sorts lower in the version comparison spec: https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/version_format_specification/ ➜ systemd git:(strip) systemd-analyze compare-versions 249\~rc1 249 249\~rc1 < 249 ➜ systemd git:(strip) systemd-analyze compare-versions 249-rc1 249 249-rc1 > 249 Also update tools/meson-vcs-tag.sh to use carets instead of hyphens for the git part of the version as carets are allowed to be part of a version by pacman while hyphens are not and both sort higher than a version without the git part. --- docs/RELEASE.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'docs/RELEASE.md') diff --git a/docs/RELEASE.md b/docs/RELEASE.md index d98fe0a2f9..4ba29a87a9 100644 --- a/docs/RELEASE.md +++ b/docs/RELEASE.md @@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1-or-later 6.

Note that this uses a tilde (\~) instead of a hyphen (-) because tildes sort lower in version comparisons according to the [version format specification](https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/version_format_specification/), and we want `v255-rc1` to sort lower than `v255`. 10.
