Quarkus: Decide which suffix to use RC or CR, Final or GA

It can't be RC if its Final and GA as it will look like later release.

I only see one option if we want to stay sane - .CRn and .Final

[maxandersen]

and aren't we still following https://developer.jboss.org/wiki/JBossProjectVersioning ?

I asked this question because until now we didn't have a suffix for the releases (0.27.0).

I see two options:

• keep the no prefix way and go with: x.y.z-rc1 and x.y.z for the final
• go the JBoss way: x.y.z.CR1 and x.y.z.Final

I don't care either way, I just need to know :).

the first option using semver.org style is just not viable in maven - please don't use it. it will come back and burn us when/if we rely on resolving "latest" for extensions using maven (or gradle) versioning mechanics.

CR1 and Final is the only way to go IMO as that fits/does not conflict with how productized bits are versioned.

Not sure if I follow... maven versioning rules perfectly allows using x.y.z-rc1 and x.y.z:

1. 1.0.0 == 1
   1.0.0 == 1.0.0.Final
2. 1.0.0.Final == 1
   1.0.0.Final > 1.0.0.CR1
3. 1.0.0.CR1 == 1.0.0.rc-1
   1.0.0.CR1 > 1.0.0-rc1
4. 1.0.0-rc1 == 1-rc-1
   1.0.0-rc1 == 1.0.0-CR1
5. 1.0.0-CR1 == 1-rc-1

And in fact the dot used in 1.0.0.CR1 creates a weird distinction compared to the dash qualifier type 1.0.0-rc1

[maxandersen]

please see https://developer.jboss.org/wiki/JBossProjectVersioning - i should be more precise that the versioning mechanis that wiki describes works in any versioning system (mvn, osgi, npm and more) and it especially don't conflict with productized binaries versioning to avoid creation of separate GAV's.

I'm closing this one. We will go with 1.0.0.CR1 and 1.0.0.Final when time comes.
