= Versioning =

== Project fork ==

While Slicer specific patches related to dependent project (i.e. VTK) are integrated upstream, it is not uncommon to build Slicer against a Slicer specific fork of the project.

For example: https://github.com/Slicer/VTK

=== Patches for tagged release ===

For each version of the project requiring some specific patches, a branch following that convention will be created: <code>slicer-vX.Y.Z-YEAR-MONTH-DAY</code> where <code>X.Y.Z</code> corresponds to the version of the project.

For example, in case of the [https://github.com/Slicer/VTK Slicer/VTK] fork, the branch <code>slicer-v6.2.0-2015-03-02</code> has been created.

=== Patches for development branch ===

In this case, since there is no tag associated with the branch, the Slicer specific patch should be added to a branch named using the date of the commit parent of the Slicer branch: <code>slicer-vX.Y-YEAR-MONTH-DAY-REV</code> where <code>X.Y</code> corresponds to the fork release and <code>REV</code> corresponds to either the first 7 chars of git hash or SVN revision (for example <code>r1234</code>)

For example: <code>slicer-v6.2.0-2015-02-24-70bad0e</code>

= Slicer Package naming scheme =
{{ambox|text=The following information is for Slicer maintainers only}}

<pre>Slicer-<MAJOR_VERSION>.<MINOR_VERSION>.<PATCH_VERSION>[-rc{1|2|3...}][-<TWEAK_VERSION>][-<DATE>][-svn<REV>][-dirty]-<ARCH>-<PLATFORM></pre>

There are 2 types of builds, releases and developments:
; Release
: Special builds made on a given revision (e.g. r19033: "ENH: Slicer 4.0.1")
: Don't contain date or revision number.
: The optional suffix '''-rc{1|2|3|...}''' identifies the release candidates leading to a final release.
: Eventually, a tweak number can be added (e.g. 4.0.1-1)
; Development
: Nightly or experimental builds
: Contains suffixes after the major.minor.patch version
: The suffix '''svn<REV>''' allows to identify the revision associated with the current package.
: The '''-dirty''' prefix indicates if the package has been generated from a locally modified source tree.
