I tried to do it locally but failed because it is difficult to select
necessary and sufficient changes. So I'm now thinking of packaging
latest snapshot of upstream repository on GitHub. And I have one
question.

Is there any .cygport file that downloads snapshot of repository on
GitHub as source archive?

I'd like to refer to it in order to package latest snapshot of tmux.

Best Regards.

Thanks.

Since this is a crash bug, which renders the package more or less 
useless, I made an NMU with these changes.


Michael,

Sorry about not pinging you before I made this change.

You don't seem to have been active for a few years. Are you still 
interesting in maintaining this package?

IF so, do you want to get pinged if/when problems crop up?

[moving discussion to -apps]

Upstream developer is Thomas Dickey at invisible-island.net so no git.

My only concern is if 6.4+20240203-1 !> 6.4-20240120 as strvercmp test beds 
disagree, presumably about the effect of the delimiter, possibly because the + 
may be treated similarly to a prefix for an RC preceding the 6.4 release?

For guidance I have looked at:

	https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Versioning/

which states that ~ prefixes pre-stable "snapshot" releases and ^ prefixes 
post-stable "snapshot" releases where . or nothing prefixes upstream bugfix or 
patch level releases, so perhaps we should just use version suffix .yyyymmdd?

I have downloaded and locally installed Fedora rpmdevtools package but Cygwin 
python rpm module seems to lack labelCompare():

$ rpmdev-vercmp 6.4+20240203-1 6.4-20240120
/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/rpm.py:15: UserWarning: The RPM Python 
bindings are not currently available via PyPI.

Please install them with your distro package manager (typically called
'python2-rpm' or 'python3-rpm'), and ensure that any virtual environments
needing the API are configured to be able to see the system site packages
directory.

   warnings.warn(warning_msg)

     rc = rpm.labelCompare((e1 or None, v1 or None, r1 or None),

I also pip3 installed SAS SW rpm_vercmp which seems okay:

$ python3 -c 'import 
rpm_vercmp;print(rpm_vercmp.vercmp("6.4+20240203-1","6.4-20240120"))
'

and wrote a wrapper for shell script functions I found which agrees:

How are Cygwin pre-stable RC releases defined differently from post-stable 
snapshot releases and upstream patch releases?

So, this is notionally defined here [1].

The important point there "Non-alphanumeric separators for these 
contiguous chunks are ignored" (after identifying chunks)

So '1.2.3' '1+2+3' and '1_2_3' are all equal.

[1] https://cygwin.com/packaging-package-files.html#naming

Practically, this is controlled by the version comparison which libsolv 
does, which I am expecting to also work like that.

(Perhaps naively. All the details are paged-out at the moment. I think I 
remember there's a flag which you have to give it to turn on the special 
behaviour of tilde and caret, which in any case aren't currently in the 
character set permitted for a cygwin package name)

This can't be cygwin's python rpm module if it's in /usr/local/, I think?

If you have calm installed, you can use:

> $ calm-tool sort-versions 1.2.1 1.2.3 1+2+3 1_2_3 1.2.4
> 1.2.1
> 1.2.3 1+2+3 1_2_3
> 1.2.4

At this point it should be clear that 6.4+2024012 is greater than 6.4.

> How are Cygwin pre-stable RC releases defined differently from

Generally, I think that following [2], as linked from that, is a good 
idea. i.e.

for pre-release versions use R="0." followed by  something that's going 
to increase as prereleases do e.g. date or an incrementing ordinal and 
then a githash.

for post-releases you can increment R and add a similar identifier.

You can instead add things to V to indicate post-label snapshots, but 
there's there's a risk of coming unstuck unless the upstream versioning 
scheme is totally predicable (i.e. if you create 1.2+3 for a 
post-release fix to 1.2, and then upstream releases a 1.2a which you 
weren't expecting because they've never done it before, you're boned)

Thanks for the hint Jon, maybe a pip dependency install needs removed, now works:

$ rm -f /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/rpm.py

Saw that before and know from Debian there is a need for "epoch:" prefix there.

Made necessary changes, reran local and GH Scallywag builds, and uploaded 
unannounced test release, to check all works okay behind the scenes.
Will not push master until ready to make another stable release.

Will copy this approach going forward with other i-i.net and upstream packages 
with major.minor-date releases when updated.

Thanks.

I don't use tmux, so if I were to just bump the version, I'd just be 
deploying the updated package without any testing, which is something I 
try to avoid doing.

If an up-to-date and working tmux package is important to you, please 
consider if maybe you want to adopt it? (I'm assuming the existing 
maintainer has wandered off since he didn't reply, but our process 
requires me to wait a bit longer before that's assumed)

Even if you don't, maybe you would consider submitting an ssh key, so 
you can push to our package building playground, which would make it a 
bit less effort for me in future, if you submit other NMUs.

I do, I just built it locally (with the dud patch that doesn't actually
fix control mode backed out).

I'd be willing to ITA tmux and do an NMU in the interim.

I've pushed the package to playground and it has built cleanly on
AppVeyor.
