check for release versions that are lower than already existing ones

[dmzaytsev]

At the moment Rultor doesn't make any check for the release version.
It is possible to release versions that are lower than already existing ones.
It would better if Rultor will prevent such releases.

@dmzaytsev this task will get someone's attention soon

[alex-palevsky]

@dmzaytsev since the ticket has no milestone I set it to 2.0

[alex-palevsky]

@dmzaytsev thanks for the ticket, your account was topped for 15 mins, payment 71681605

[alex-palevsky]

@jimdeanspivey please pick this up, and keep in mind these instructions. Any technical questions - ask right here

The budget here is 30 mins, which is exactly how much time will be paid for, when the task is completed

[JimmySpivey]

Here is my understanding of the problem:

[at-sign]rultor release, tag is `0.1`
[at-sign]rultor release, tag is `0.2`
[at-sign]rultor release, tag is `0.8`
[at-sign]rultor release, tag is `0.3`

And that the problem is that I should not be able to release version 0.3 since the current version is 0.8 ?

[dmzaytsev]

@JimDeanSpivey yep, Rultor shouldn't allow release 0.3 in this case

[dmzaytsev]

@yegor256 on the other note it would be nice to be able to force any release
so if i say rultor release, tag='0.3' force
rultor will release it in any case

what do you think?

[JimmySpivey]

Not sure if Rultor enforces version numbers (as opposed to just allowing any string). So I want to mentioned that version numbers in git releases can be any string, which means that is not always possible to validate that they must be high enough.

• 1.2.3 - most common and valid. This can be validated to make sure that 1.2.3. is not lower than the current version.
• my-tagged-release - obviously there is no way to apply version ordering here
• 1.2.3-beta - Some people put characters after or in with many different reasons. I think these should be ignored.

[JimmySpivey]

Currently have it rejecting if the version number is too low via this PR: #989 But still waiting for input regarding the force functionality.

Also, I have some questions/concerns about qulice's enforcement. Because I cannot use the new keyword in a for loop, I had to use Guava's transformation utils to convert a list from one object type to another. I think the code looks much cleaner without Guava (using manual for loops and the new keyword). Performance-wise, it's probably also faster than using guava or the same. Should I raise an issue, using code samples of before and after, on qulice issues ?

[yegor256]

@JimDeanSpivey make sure you address your comments to someone, by adding the name in front of it. otherwise, who are you talking to? :)

[yegor256]

@dmzaytsev I think that "force" is not required now. maybe, in the future, if someone will ask for that, we'll implement it

[JimmySpivey]

@alex-palevsky code-review needed for #989

@gumbelmj please go ahead, it's your task now, keep this in mind, and don't hesitate to ask any technical questions you may have

Budget here is 30 mins (keep this principle in mind)

[original-brownbear]

@gumbelmj I'm sorry but this task has been with you for more than 10 days now.
Given that you did not address the criticism in the PR today and this is the last task missing for the next release, this cannot wait any longer.

[original-brownbear]

@alex-palevsky assign me please.

[gumbelmj]

@original-brownbear I did not know this was holding up a release. I will address the comments.

[original-brownbear]

@dmzaytsev alright, merged and released om 1.61.8 at last after a million delays :) Could you close here please ?

[dmzaytsev]

@original-brownbear sure :)
thank you

[original-brownbear]

@alex-palevsky can you close here ? This is still open in my agenda, thanks :)

[alex-palevsky]
