<p>Hello Jasem,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thank you for your answers, they are very useful.</p>
<p>1. Ok, I understand tags must not be trusted on the repo, but I
still don't understand the way I can find the commit used to build
the repo version, is it the commit containing the changelog (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://cgit.kde.org/kstars.git/commit/?id=1d64d88142fd7f510fc000695e4475e86010298f">1d64d8814
KStars v3.3.9 Change log</a>) ? What about the commits between
this one and the commit stating the beginning of the 3.4.0 cycle (<a

KStars v3.4.0 cycle begins</a>), are these within the 3.3.9
cycle or unofficially part of the 3.4.0?<br>
</p>
<p>2. I've cloned from anongit as written <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Edu/KStars/Building_KStars_KF5">here.<br>
</a></p>
<p>3. Ok, I understand. How do you handle contributions, is there
some merge/pull request process?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Sorry for all the newbie questions, I hope I can be of use
someday.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Have a nice day,</p>
<p>Thomas Nemer.<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. The build date is whenever the package was built. The
tag system is problematic since old tags were for KDE version,
not KStars. So you see a v3.4.0 tag from 2005! So tags are not
used in the KStars release cycle.</div>
<div>2. Were you fetching from anongit or github?</div>
<div>3. Yes we directly work on master. There is CI that builds
and informs us of any issues that occurs in master.</div>

<div>Hope this helps!</div>

<p>Hello Kstars team!</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">I'm actually getting
my hands on the code base, and as an exercise I'm trying
to build the same version as the one from arch linux repo.
This way I'll be able to compare the repo's version to my
own build, be sure my IDE is properly configured and that
I understood how to build Kstars properly. I have a few
questions about your git workflow : </p>
<ul>
<li>I've installed Kstars from arch linux repo, and when I
look at the about tab, I can read "v3.3.9 Build:
2020-01-01T21:08:10Z". But when I look to the repo's tag
list, I find only old tags, multiple versioning
conventions, and no 3.3.9 tag. How do you know which
commit was used to build v3.3.9?</li>
<li>I've clone the repo, and I only see the master branch,
but on <a
href="https://cgit.kde.org/kstars.git/refs/heads"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://cgit.kde.org/kstars.git/refs/heads</a>
I can see lots of branches, how comes I can't fetch
those?</li>
<li>I would've expected the master branch to only contain
tagged commits, some dev or develop branch to contain
non-tagged commits, and feature branches to contain
ongoing work. But it seems the master branch is the only
one active, do you work directly on the master or is
there some mirror repo I don't see on which there's some
CI before commits get integrated into the master branch?</li>
</ul>
<p>Thanks for your time and work,
Have a nice day,
Thomas Nemer.
