Bug #17012
Updated by Ward Vandewege over 3 years ago
The build/version-at-commit.sh script doesn't handle the scenario right after a major release well.
For code that hasn't changed since the major release, it generates version numbers without taking the major release tag into account.
For instance; as of commit xxx on master, which is after the fork point of the 2.1-dev branch, these packages were generated for debian10:
<pre>
arvados-api-server_2.1.0-1_amd64.deb
arvados-client_2.1.0~dev20201012021212-1_amd64.deb

python3-crunchstat-summary_2.2.0~dev20201015145956-1_amd64.deb
</pre>
You can see that the python packages have a correct version number (2.2.0~dev20201015145956), which is because there are some commits in master (post the 2.1-dev branch fork) that touch the Python part of the codebase.
For other parts of the codebase, a version string is generated that starts with 2.1.0~dev, which is incorrect.
