Milestone
Over in #238 I came across a concern about the use of version numbers in file names.
.csv
files in data/csvs have strings likev1
,v2
,v2_1
.json
files in data/schema have strings likev2.03
.json
files in ssvc-calc have strings likev2.0.3
,v2.1.0
Regardless of our versioning strategy, I propose that we eliminate version numbers from file names.
Rationale:
foo-vX.Y.Z.json
, which has side effects, including:foo-vA.B.C.json
andfoo-vX.Y.Z.json
will be removed.X.Y.Z
version and have the urge to create anarchive
folder or some suchThe alternative I'm proposing is that we remove version numbers from file names and let the git commit history be the canonical source for older versions of those files. So if you want to see the
foo-v1.json
, go to the v1 tag in the history and get it. My preference is to let git be git, and avoid overthinking version strings in file names.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
