git tag prefix

[drieks]

Describe the bug

Hi,

it seems that you removed the tag name prefix "v", versions up to v1.1.0 starts with "v", 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 don't have this prefix. Version 1.1.0 was released both with and without prefix.

This breaks at least flatpack and two arch linux aur scripts:

flatpak install com.obsproject.Studio.Plugin.BackgroundRemoval

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/obs-backgroundremoval-git
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/obs-backgroundremoval

All of them are still on the latest version with prefix "v", so it is currently not possible to install the latest version on arch linux based systems.

To Reproduce

Try to install the latest version from any of this sources:
flatpak install com.obsproject.Studio.Plugin.BackgroundRemoval

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/obs-backgroundremoval-git
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/obs-backgroundremoval

Expected behavior

The latest version should be installed.

Shoot. This was a requirement from the latest OBS plugin template build scripts. We'll have to fix this on there

[royshil]

@umireon what do you make of this?
should we release v1.1.3 with the existing stuff and fix the build scripts provided by OBS?
or should we strive to fix it on the AUR and Flatpak?

[umireon]

I want to ask obs-studio/obs-plugintemplate why they removed the v prefix.

[royshil]

@umireon i actually was the one who removed the v from the tag, but that was because the plugin template would not create the package correctly.

however, for now we can simple apply two tags 1.1.3 and v1.1.3 for the same commit, and only create release based on the 1.1.3
but the flatpack and AUR will still be able to download the source from github
what do you think?

[umireon]

I'm asking this on upstream now: obsproject/obs-plugintemplate#86

[umireon]

I suppose the removal of the prefix "v" is intentional on the upstream and we have to fix Flatpak and AUR to conform to the new tag format.

[umireon]

I'm going to change all the build definitions to use the tag without v prefix.
