[ovirt-devel] Re: Please use RPM versions that are fine-enough

Hi All, I was analyzing a problematic situation with ovirt-web-ui build breaking OST for a day or two. It turned out the problem was about RPM versions not being fine enough. The project used only the date part in their RPM names, so the builds were named like this: 1.8.2-0.20220607.git703b8f7.fc35 1.8.2-0.20220607.git26ac92c.fc35 1.8.2-0.20220607.gitf519b50.fc35 The problem with this approach is that among these versions the one with the "biggest SHA" is considered to be the latest one, which is not always true. The solution in this case would be to use finer RPM versions that include at least the hour and the minute of the build (although I can see most projects use seconds too). I posted [1] to fix this in ovirt-web-ui,

but I can see other projects suffer from this problem too (i.e. java-ovirt-engine-sdk4, ovirt-engine-ui-extensions)

[2]. Please make sure that you use RPM versions that are fine-enough. Thanks, Marcin [1] https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-web-ui/pull/1599 [2] https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ovirt/ovirt-master-snapshot/builds/ [3] https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-ui-extensions/pull/62
