Stable release tag is stale — please cut v0.3.0 final #59

Closed

Description

Summary

The latest stable tag is quite stale while development continues on RC tags, which blocks downstream packaging and distro onboarding from tracking a well-defined source snapshot.

  • Last stable tag: v0.2.0 (2026-05-25)
  • HEAD is 170 commits ahead of it (as of 2026-09-11)
  • The newest tags since then are RC pre-releases (v0.3.0-rc1.post1, v0.3.0-rc0.post1, v0.2.0)

Why it matters for packaging

We are packaging FlagOS components as deb/rpm for distro repos (openEuler/openKylin and our own Nexus repos), and distro builds pin a stable, reproducible source snapshot. With RC tags excluded by our release filter:

  • building from v0.2.0 ships a version missing 4+ months of fixes;
  • building from an RC tag violates the stable-release rule for distro repos.

For repos where a stable tag is unavailable in time, we fall back to pinning a commit hash — workable, but a proper stable tag is much better for version comparison, upgrades and changelog tracking.

Request

Could you cut a stable release tag (e.g. promote the current v0.3.0 line to final, or tag v0.3.0 from a reviewed commit)? A regular cadence — even "whenever the rc line stabilizes, drop the final tag" — would let downstream packaging follow automatically.

Happy to help with release notes or anything mechanical if useful.

    v0.3.0 was tagged on 2026-09-28 and is what FlagOS 2.2 ships; the fedora rpm is in the repository (deb and openEuler rpm wait on #110). Closing.
