[jira] [Commented] (THRIFT-6) Thrift libraries and compiler lack version number

["Roger Meier (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-6?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13740909#comment-13740909 ] 

Roger Meier commented on THRIFT-6:
----------------------------------

It is still pain to update all Versions or add a build number to the Thrift libraries ... a nightmare.
and the blocker for frequent releases.

We currently describe the process on versioning here:
http://thrift.apache.org/docs/committers/HowToVersion

I currently work on a shellscript to update all Version Info within Apache Thrift source files.

Goal:
* shell script to be executed before build
** create the release: *sh contrib/updateversion.sh 0.9.1 release*
*** set release version
*** set git hash tag
** after a release, update source tree: *sh contrib/updateversion.sh 0.9.2*
*** set new development version 
** do a regular build and add the git hash to the version: *sh contrib/updateversion.sh*
*** set git hash tag
* provide info on debian/control, doap.rdf & co


Questions I like to discuss:
* replace -dev suffix always with "git rev-parse --short HEAD" ?
* use "git rev-parse --short HEAD" also for releases ?
* how do we version csharp and delphi with the quadruple pattern 0.0.0.0 ? I triple allowed?
{noformat}
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("0.9.1.0")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("0.9.1.0")]
[assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersion("0.9.1.0-2ca9c20")]
{noformat}
* how to differentiate between release and development version?
release: 0.9.1.1 or 
development: 0.9.1.0

please provide feedback, the script is ready very soon.

> Right now it's impossible to tell which version of Thrift you have installed. If you're depending on features that have recently been added (and that subtly don't exist), you can spend a lot of time chasing your tail trying to figure out what the problem is.
> This may be something that has to be implemented piecemeal on each client library (ruby gem, java classes, etc). Thoughts?
> While we're at it, let's add a --version switch or something to the compiler so you know what version of stuff you're actually generating.
