Can we get a release (even beta) that shows up in b.org and in the Project Browser?

Closed this issue · 4 comments

Searching for "reference" right now returns a whole lot of results, but not this module here. We need some exposure if more people are to test this in order to eventually get it into core.

There currently seems to be a beta1 release: https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/reference/releases

Any clues as to why it is not shown in b.org or the Project Browser?

Doesn't it have to be 1.x-1.0.0-beta1 to follow the semantic versioning? I will try and test this module out some, but if it works well enough, why not just make a release and leave the note about being in beta mode? I don't know of any other Backdrop modules in beta to compare the versioning to at the moment.

@klonos I don't know what it will take to get the release to appear on the backdrop site. @jenlampton would have a better idea. I think she mentioned that she would look into it before, but I forget how we left things.

I can switch to the semantic versioning with the first full release, assuming that we are following that numbering system for contrib modules in addition to core.

In order for Reference to appear in the project browser (and on b.org) it needs to have a stable release (so 1.x-1.0.0). Alpha and Beta releases to not show up in the project browser, or on b.o by design.

I believe drush got around this limitation by creating a release that was version 1.x-0.0.0.

I think we have a release now, so I'm closing this.
