How to read librecad version numbers in ubuntu

There's a PPA set up that will build a new package everytime something
is committed to the github repo. Installation instructions are at
librecad.org.

The packages have version numbers like:
1.0.0~rc1+yeslib201107031942-0ubuntu0~daily3~oneiric1

1.0.0~rc1 = the most recent release that the version is based on

+yeslib = libraries are embedded

201107031942 = date and time of the build (19:42 UTC on July 3, 2011)

-0ubuntu0 = this has not been released in ubuntu

~daily3 = this is the third revision of the daily build packaging scripts

~oneiric1 = this is an oneiric system (and the first build for that
system for this date)

The official Ubuntu and Debian packages have version numbers like this:
1.0.0~rc1+nolibs-3

1.0.0~rc1 = release version

+nolibs = no embedded libraries

-3 = third revision of debian packaging scripts

Scott,

on that subject, I noticed that in ubuntu the SCM tag is empty,

this should (if I did my job right) show the GIT tag

in the form of: SCM Revision: 1.0.0rc1-119-ga41a27e

Can that get included in the ubuntu PPA?

Does that work if someone grabs the release tarballs instead of github
clone? The packages in the official Debian and Ubuntu repositories
don't do a github clone but instead download the .tar.gz from github.

Actually, the automatic builds don't even do that - they grab a bzr
branch which imports the github branch. It's silly, but the only way
to automatically do it with PPAs (they don't do gits.)

Scott, unfortunately if a person or system downloads a tarbal I don't have away

of knowing what version this actually is when qmake is executed.

Currently the build system issues the command : git describe --tags,

and uses that as the SCM version in the about.

Actually, the automatic builds don't even do that - they grab a bzr
branch which imports the github branch. It's silly, but the only way
to automatically do it with PPAs (they don't do gits.)

That's a pitty, because on the #CAM channel I sometimes answer questions

around LibreCAD, and currently I don't have good insight in what version

they really use, my knowledge of Ubuntu is unfortunately low enough

for myself to not even know :)

Is there something we can do to change this? Could the build system use the filename?

As I noticed that github sends the describe as the filename...

I don't know what bzr is.....

I added more information to the ubuntu package version
1.0.0~rc1+yeslib201107031942.173-0ubuntu0~daily3~oneiric1

where the .173 corresponds to the 173 commit at:
https://code.launchpad.net/~librecad-dev/librecad-dev/librecad

Users can find what version they have by this command: "dpkg -s
librecad | grep Version"

The filename gets scrubbed in the archives, and the PPAs can only
autobuild bazaar (bzr) branches, which also lose the git commit hash.
But you can lookup which commit it corresponds to here:
https://code.launchpad.net/~librecad-dev/librecad-dev/librecad

Would that work? Git commit id info has been requested for PPA builds:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr-builder/+bug/620132
but it appears that they are only planning support for bzr branches
(that's why I have to import the git tree into bzr to get it to work)

Cheers,
Scott

This will work perfectly, I will take care the the SCM version will

get removed from the about when it wasn't available.

autobuild bazaar (bzr) branches, which also lose the git commit hash.

Understandably Ubuntu want's to push Bazaar... so it's the way it is,

When dpkg -s librecad | grep Version will show the version

then we can help our users and aks for there revision number...

thanks!

Scott
