RELEASE_VERSION and EXTRA_VERSION can be concatenate to a single
SOURCE_VERSION string. This makes it possible to detect unstable
versions during compile time instead of removing the unstable warning
in a seperate commit (or forget this change).
Before releasing the a new stable version the release manager must set
EXTRA_VERSION to "", check INSTALL, THANKS and README and then create
the tag in the repository.
Afterwards the development branch should change the RELEASE_VERSION to
the upcoming version number and the EXTRA_VERSION to a string which
informs the user that it is "unstable" and in development. This could be
for example "-dev", "-pre-alpha", "-beta" or
"-rc1".

Hello Sven,
Afterwards the development branch should change the RELEASE_VERSION
to
the upcoming version number and the EXTRA_VERSION to a string which
informs the user that it is "unstable" and in development. This could be
for example "-dev", "-pre-alpha", "-beta" or
"-rc1".
I like your patch a lot. It could solve a nasty little problem that always
tends to be forgotten. :-)
Unfortunately, our compile farm which feeds the package repository extracts
the SOURCE_VERSION from batman.h to generate the package name. Unless we
rewrite the compile scripts to extract both defines we can't apply your patch
as-is. This rewrite is not as painless as it could be. Certainly, at some
point we want to touch the scripts to optimize the speed but that wasn't on
our agenda right now.
Do you see alternatives which allow us to reuse the existing compile farm and
have the functionality you implemented ?
Regards,
Marek

Yes, Simon told me about that :D

Didn't know that but that makes patch of
course useless. I liked the idea to
have a version which marks the next release and the extra part which marks the
actual status of the next release. This is only one way to express this.

farm

We could also assume that the version
string has a specific format. A version
number (RELEASE_VERSION part thing in my last patch) which has a postfix
seperated by a dash. If that dash is found in the version string then we have
a postfix and we are currently in a unstable version.
Don't know if this makes really sense for B.A.T.M.A.N. but the patch for that
is trivial.

New subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] Detect unstable version in SOURCE_VERSION
The SOURCE_VERSION consists of a version part and the actual status of
this version (called postfix). Both parts are seperated by a dash.
This seperator dash can be detected during runtime and can enable the
unstable warning instead of removing this warning in every release.
Before releasing the a new stable version the release manager must
remove the postfix of SOURCE_VERSION in batman.h, check INSTALL,
THANKS and README and then create the tag in the repository as usual.
Afterwards the development branch should change the SOURCE_VERSION to
the upcoming version number including a postfix starting with a dash
that informs the user that it is "unstable" and in development. This
could be for example "-dev", "-pre-alpha", "-beta" or
"-rc1".
