Tag alpha / beta release as pre-release

[Geod24]

Currently when a release is made, it's tagged as "Latest release", e.g. https://github.com/dlang/dub/releases/tag/v1.12.0-beta.1

This cause all tools using the latest release to start using the beta immediately.

That's not done by dlang-bot per se.
See https://github.com/dlang/dub/blob/master/.travis.yml and travis-ci/dpl#234 and dlang/dub#1367 (comment)

This cause all tools using the latest release to start using the beta immediately.

No, they query this: https://dlang.github.io/dub/LATEST (from the gh-pages branch)

On the contrary, the LATEST number hasn't been change for a while: https://github.com/dlang/dub/blob/gh-pages/LATEST (the automatic deployment seems to be defect)

Anyway I created a PR to set the prerelease status for the GitHub Releases: dlang/dub#1578
Though this won't help your problem.

Okay, not all tools 🙂
But it does affect Buildkite for sure, doesn't it ? That's what triggered this issue.

Uhm Buildkite always uses the get latest stable release script:

https://github.com/dlang/ci/blob/master/buildkite/build_project.sh

In short:

git ls-remote --tags https://github.com/dlang/dub | sed -n 's|.*refs/tags/\(v\?[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*$\)|\1|p' | sort --version-sort | tail -n5

v1.8.0
v1.8.1
v1.9.0
v1.10.0
v1.11.0 <- should be selected

The real failure is:

The tag is missing:

I don't know who deleted them, but someone did.

Okay in the web UI the tags aren't there:

https://github.com/dlang/dub/tags?after=v0.9.22-beta.2

But ls-remote still shows them, e.g.

git ls-remote --tags https://github.com/dlang/dub

Maybe it's a GitHub issue? (I contacted the support)

Workaround: dlang/ci#318 and dlang/dub#1579
