is it acceptable to package/release versions against a specific git commit rather than the library's particular release version? i'd like to use a feature in rrule.js which was merged in january but hasn't yet been released. should i just roll my own, or does cljsjs support releases like this?

@eyelidlessness: I wouldnt say it’s supported but you can do it, you can create a release for the next version and tag the build as -alpha0

interesting. thank you.

since it probably wouldnt get merged until the actual release is complete, this is kinda the same as rolling your own

makes sense

@eyelidlessness: if you need help creating an alpha package, there is a firebase PR which has something similar, it’s also a work in progress, we tag the builds -rcX

i played with updating it, pretty much figured it out. but if it wouldn't get merged it doesn't do me much good 🙂

thanks for your help

@eyelidlessness: no problem, id confirm with @juhoteperi on his opinion for pre-release builds

since he manages this all 🙂

It is possible and you can even add the git sha to the version (something like "0.1.0-129n823-0")

I may have rejected some such PR's in the past but with proper version it could be okay

But those could have been against some fork, which I'm still against, but if the commit is in upstream repo it should be okay

I'll write some "rules" down on the wiki

excellent thank you

it would definitely be against the upstream repo, not a fork. the change has been in since january, but just hasn't been tagged for a release.

i've also contacted the author asking for a release, will look out for that as well

:thumbsup:

I'm hoping that will encourage people to write down if they have updated externs when updating the package version 🙂

We should probably have a issue template also, for package requests and such

I guess in addition to the rules there should be some kind of project statement or something: "Maintainers will review PR's and keep build automation working, new packages and updates are provided by contributors."

@eyelidlessness: Worked fine: https://clojars.org/cljsjs/rrule

:thumbsup: thanks!

about to pull it into my project and dump my local packaging. really appreciate it
