This page describe the Slicer versioning scheme for packages |
Package naming scheme
Slicer-<MAJOR_VERSION>.<MINOR_VERSION>.<PATCH_VERSION>-<TWEAK_VERSION>[-rc{1|2|3...}][-<DATE>][-svn<REV>][-dirty]-<ARCH>-<PLATFORM>
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.
