Builds (0H223, 0H224 et cetera)

At https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/releases/tag/experimental-13.1, what was the difference between hello-0.8.0_0H223-FreeBSD-13.1-amd64.iso and hello-0.8.0_0H224-FreeBSD-13.1-amd64.iso?

I can no longer find the issues where build naming was discussed, neither can I find an explanation at https://hellosystem.github.io/.

Build Train:

• 0 = the "0" in 0.8.0
• H = the 8th letter in the alphabet, for the "8" in 0.8.0

Build Number:

• 223, 224,... the 223th, 224th build toward what will become 0.8.0 one it gets released. There is no dedicated changelog for each build but changes worthy to be mentioned in the 0.8.0 changelog are collected at https://github.com/helloSystem/hello/wiki/Status/#pre-080

Thanks, can you find the naming-related issues in GitHub?

Hello @grahamperrin, what do you mean by "the naming-related issues"? Issues regarding the buildnumbers system can be placed here: https://github.com/helloSystem/buildnumbers/issues

[grahamperrin]

There were discussions that took the form of GitHub issues or PRs.

If I recall correctly:

• issues, not PRs
• at least one in the helloSystem organisation
• one, maybe two, in https://github.com/bsdhw/ or https://github.com/linuxhw/.

Found:

• How to identify helloSystem from terminal? #67

From #410 (reply in thread):

• one, maybe two, in @bsdhw or @linuxhw.

Now, I realise why I couldn't find things there. The issue above was begun by @linuxhw in the helloSystem organisation (not in a probe-related repo).
