Re: version numbers towards kf6

[Jos van den Oever]

The new versions of frameworks, plasma and gear presumably all start with '6'. Following Fedora versioning for snapshots [0] gives this:

 6^20230627git5328c27e3

Having the commit date and the git revision in there helps with bug reports.

But this disregards the context (build options, versions of other packages).


  set(PROJECT_VERSION "5.27.80")
  set(PROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR 5)

CMake has no support for ^ or ~ with version suffixes [1].

Best regards,
Jos

The version number in CMakeLists.txt determines what users see in the about box and that is still e.g.

Use whatever you like for your distro but for neon we have the not very elegant

5.92.0+p22.04+tunstable+git20230613.2104-0 for git master frameworks build

frameworks version, ubuntu version, neon edition, date.time, buildnumber.

Of course the frameworks version is meaningless there, it's just where I took the first packaging from, I'll update that once the frameworks get releases.
