Factory_bot: Please clarify the release policy

Created on 18 Feb 2018 · 3Comments · Source: thoughtbot/factory_bot

Hi all,

As per the rename, I would like to package factory_bot for Debian. However, I'm confused:

The tag v4.8.2, 2017/10/20, contained factory_bot.
The tag v4.9.0, 2017/10/23, contained factory_girl.

Normally, for Debian packaging, a so called "watch" file is used, to check for the latest upstream release.
But in this case, this doesn't work properly, as the latest release is not about factory_bot, but about factory_girl.

Could you please clarify, what to expect in the future? In case there are further releases planned for factory_girl, would it be possible to use different release naming schemes for girl vs bot?

Thanks for your work and all the best!

Since there have been so many issues with people confused by these versions, maybe the few changes in master can be released now as factory_bot 4.9.1 to reduce the noise?

Seconded. Please create a new tag to reconcile the latest version with the latest gem name.

Apologies for the confusion here. I've just released / tagged factory_bot and factory_bot_rails version 4.10.0, which includes the rewind sequences feature.

Please feel free to reopen if this hasn't resolved the issue.
