From a68627ae96994ce56fd4ff9e7255cd0104851abe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Wu Date: Thu, 16 May 2019 00:45:11 +0100 Subject: version: include version information for tarballs from git Embed the git commit hash as well as the tag information for tarballs produced by 'git archive' (this includes the Github tarball). Example: TShark (Wireshark) 3.0.1 (Git commit ea351cd80516) Note that the embedded git ref names can include branch information, see for example `git log -n1 -s --format=%D v3.0.1`: tag: wireshark-3.0.1, tag: v3.0.1 HEAD -> bug/15544, tag: v99.99 HEAD, origin/master, origin/HEAD, master Thus, when creating release tarballs, I would recommend using the above command to see whether unnecessary branch information is present. If so, create a new post-release commit first on the same branch. This way, the release tarballs should be reproducible. While at it, increase the commit abbreviation length from 8 to 12. Currently git describe abbreviates to 10 by default. The default length is at minimum 7 and is dependent on the number of objects: git count-objects -v | perl -lne 'print int(log($1)/log(2)/2)+1 if /^in-pack: (\d+)/' Bug: 15544 Change-Id: Ifd1ed636b69f7687a7272775686f51387040a596 Reviewed-on: https://code.wireshark.org/review/33214 Petri-Dish: Peter Wu Tested-by: Petri Dish Buildbot Reviewed-by: Dario Lombardo Reviewed-by: Alexis La Goutte --- .gitattributes | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to '.gitattributes') diff --git a/.gitattributes b/.gitattributes index 26b401002e..c9ca36b067 100644 --- a/.gitattributes +++ b/.gitattributes @@ -5,3 +5,4 @@ .gitattributes export-ignore .gitignore export-ignore .gitreview export-ignore +tools/make-version.pl export-subst -- cgit v1.2.3
