With SVN I
used a package naming scheme based upon the previous official
release number and SVN version:
kdebase-3.5.12-125202-i486-1.txz
With the official tarballs the package name excluded the SVN version:
kdebase-3.5.13-i486-1.txz
I expect to continue that naming scheme with official release tarballs,
although the version numbers change:
kdebase-r14.0-i486-1.txz
Enter GIT.
GIT uses a weird hash number for each patch version. Is there a more
straightforward version number? Or will I have to start naming GIT
builds
using a date and time scheme?
<snip>
The Debian/Ubuntu builds utilize the revision *count*, that is, the number
of commits that have been made to each module.
You can get this number by using the following (nasty, complex, and
completely unobvious) command:
git shortlog . | grep -E '^[ ]+\w+' | wc -l
SVN was much easier in this regard. ;-)
