Desktop: 2.6.5 client shows incorrect version

[FuturePilot]

I have the latest desktop client 2.6.5 installed via the Ubuntu PPA. However in the "About" section it says it is 2.6.4. I'm not sure if this is actually 2.6.4 or 2.6.5. The version in the package name is 2.6.5. And the link under About directs to the documentation for 2.6.5.

Expected behaviour

Version under "About" should be the correct version

Actual behaviour

Version under "About" does not match package version

I have the same issue - Ubuntu 20.04.

@ivaradi any idea what happened?

[thepatcher]

And was it on purpose that different packages are installed now?
e.g. nextcloud-client and nextcloud-client-l10n were removed and some new nextcould-desktop-* packages were installed.

Looks like it might be the packaging of the library, not the client itself:

There is a patch which "sanitizes" the CMake files, which I took from the official Debian packaging setup. This sanitization involves removing the VERSION.cmake file and adding its contents to CMakeLists.txt. The patch obviously contains the version number and thus it clashes with VERSION.cmake if the version differs.

I first "solved" this problem by removing the removal of this file from the patch, but in the "adding" part the old version, 2.6.4 remained, which caused these issues with the library and displayed versions. I have fixed this and rebuilt the packages, so an update should solve these problems.

The package naming was also changed to be the same as the official Debian package names, because people had problems updating from that version to the PPA. The old package names remained as transitional packages that can safely be removed.

Yep. The latest updated fixed it. About is now showing 2.6.5.
