GITALY_SERVER_VERSION references an untagged commit
The issue
The GITALY_SERVER_VERSION
file points to an unreleased/untagged version of Gitaly; this file currently contains a commit id, whereas it normally contains a version number.
This is problematic for us in the NixOS project, since we rely on these *_VERSION
files to find the version of auxiliary projects to package with each GitLab release. It looks a bit odd to package a commit rather than a tagged version of a package, and our update script relies on being able to prefix the contents of these files with v
to find the corresponding tag.
Some possible fixes
- Reference a tagged release instead
- Tag the currently referenced commit and update the
GITALY_SERVER_VERSION
file - Make sure all these files always reference a git ref (preferably) or commit id
