CAN WE HAVE KDE GEAR DO INDIVIDUAL AND VERSIONED HOTFIX RELEASES?
So ideally KDE Gear has an option to do intermediate hotfix releases of
individual software as well, with proper identifier in the version.
Two challenges I see:
a) a simple way to run the KDE Gear scripts for an individual package
There is, to some degree, at least to create a single tarball. That's how
respins are handled.
b) have an extended KDE Gear version scheme, to be able to denote any
additional hotfix releases (e.g. for tag, package name, UI version strings).
I haven't actually looked and tested if any of the tooling would break with
the next scheduled release, but assuming the version is changed manually
for the hotfix release, I don't see why we couldn't have yy.mm.[0-3]a (and
b, c,..) if needed.
FWIW, this would work fine for me wearing my downstream packager hat, too.
