From 2195cfce131ee599c71d0c426a7eea70ed52345f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: xengineering Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2024 16:01:36 +0200 Subject: Inject version with embed instead of build flags The build flags made the basic build and debug calls quite complex and bound this strictly to Git repositories which is a problem if the source code is passed around as tar archive. Embedding this via Go's embed package and a VERSION.txt file makes this way easier. A simple `go build` command is sufficient to build ceres. To make sure the version string is extended by a `-devel` marker and that this marker is removed before a release a RELEASE.md file was added as a checklist for releases. --- version.go | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'version.go') diff --git a/version.go b/version.go index f9a997e..087666e 100644 --- a/version.go +++ b/version.go @@ -2,12 +2,14 @@ package main import ( "log" + _ "embed" ) +//go:embed VERSION.txt var version string func init() { if version == "" { - log.Fatal("No version information passed to this via build flags") + log.Fatal("Bad build: No version string embedded.") } } -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
