Issue #21769 has been reported by k0kubun (Takashi Kokubun). ---------------------------------------- Misc #21769: Use "vX.Y.Z" instead of "vX_Y_Z" as tag names on ruby.git https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21769 * Author: k0kubun (Takashi Kokubun) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- ## Proposal * Use `vX.Y.Z` (e.g. `v4.0.0`) instead of `vX_Y_Z` (e.g. `v4_0_0`) as git tag names from Ruby 4.0.0 * Also use `-` for preview/rc releases, e.g. `v4.0.0-rc1` instead of `v4_0_0_rc1` ## Motivation * Inconsistent version formats and the need of conversion make the release workflow implementation a little complicated and hard to read. * As a release manager, I don't want to spend time figuring out which version format is right for each CLI. ## Background * Release tarball URLs already follow the proposed format (without `v`), e.g. `ruby-4.0.0-preview2.tar.gz`. * Historically, we used `vX_Y_Z` because CVS didn't allow the use of `.` in tag names. We no longer need the workaround for Git. * > https://www.gnu.org/software/trans-coord/manual/cvs/html_node/Tags.html > Tag names must start with an uppercase or lowercase letter and can contain uppercase and lowercase letters, digits, ‘-’, and ‘_’. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
