[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v3 0/5] Add release infrastructure

[Kieran Bingham]

To facilitate making releases of libcamera, extend the shared_library
targets for libcamera and libcamera-base to include both the major,
minor and patch component in the soname. This could be reduced to only
the major and minor when we release any stable branches.

Furthermore, add a semver helper script, taken from
https://github.com/fsaintjacques/semver-tool and separately update this
with an SPDX tag. The SPDX tag has been proposed for merge upstream.

Finally, provide a helper release script which will update the version
of the top level meson.build and tag it accordingly.

A small typo is fixed at the beginning of the series.

In the event that the sources (meson.project_version(), and
utils/gen-version.sh) disagree, the meson.project_version() becomes the
source of truth, while the git version information for the sha1 is
retained. A warning message will be printed, both at the time of
detection, and within the Versions summary section to highlight this.

For example:

  Project version: 1.0.0
  ...
  meson.build:33: WARNING: The sources disagree about the version: 0.0.0 != 1.0.0
  ...
  libcamera 1.0.0

  Versions
    Source version override  : True

    soname                   : 1.0.0
