August 28, 2014 git show "previous tag" | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Anyone here knows how to consistently obtain the previous tag on git? Currently, the installer uses: git describe --abbrev=0 v2.067.0-b1^ This does not always retrieve the correct tag though. In this case the tag prior to v2.067.0-b1 is v2.066.0, however this command returns v2.066.0-b1. This causes a problem because v2.066.0-b1 broke the installer and cannot be used to build DMD. To get around this issue, I usually upload a different version of the compiler in place of v2.066.0-b1. This is not the ideal solution because anyone downloading that v2.066.0-b1.zip will not be getting something completely different. Assistance appreciated. Regards, Andrew |

Are tags always coming in order? Then it's easy:
git tag | tail -n2 | head -n1

This will be changed in new git version though (http://blogs.atlassian.com/2014/08/whats-new-git-2-1/) Andrew, what is your desired definiton of "prior"? This `git abbrev` command finds previos named commit by traversing _commit_ history. If it returns v2.066.0-b1 that means that this tag was created later in the commit sequence than v2.066.0 (which is not surprising) |

By prior I'm referring to the tag created immediately before the one I'm using in querying. If I'm building v2.066.0-rc1, I'm expecting back v2.066.0-b6. Likewise, if I provide v2.066.0-b1 it should return v2.065.0.
There was a slight snafu that required recreating the beta 2 and 3 tags for the 2.066 release. This occurred right before beta 4 was created. All other tags were created without problems following that this so might be a bug in the github system. The very last tag I created on the 2.066 branch was v2.066.0 which is what I created the release with.
This command:
git for-each-ref --sort=taggerdate --format '%(refname) %(taggerdate)'
performed on the installer repo lists the available tags in the order they were created:

Note: I've truncated the list to show just the tags I created.
