Am I the only one that is annoyed with version numbering in which 13.12 comes after 13.4?
It creates a numerically out of order version increment that bothers me to a degree that it shouldn’t.
13.04 and 13.12 would really make much more sense. If you need more than 100 versions, well, you probably should have hit a major release cycle or started with %03d format next time and just pad out x.99… until you go to x+1.
This has always bugged me, too! I understand it. It isn’t inaccurate. I’ve probably done it myself in the past. But the way it looks bugs me.
Nah. It’s not meant to be decimal points. It’s separation between numbers
%YYYY.MM format is a separation between numbers. But still increments in a numerically ordered way. I’m not saying I don’t understand version numbers. I’m saying padding zeros makes it easier to read.
It doesn’t really matter with a release cycle that has less than 10 version increments. Which is fine if you’re only ever gonna hit 13.9 in very rare cases.
But if you constantly have x.yy version numbers. You should probably start with some zero padding. All I’m saying.
13.1 13.11 13.12 13.13 13.2 13.3Is ugly and annoys me.
Have you seen formats that use unpadded seconds, minutes and hours? 11:4:7 is just beautiful time formatting 🥹 /s
But they’re integers not strings, so are sorted differently…
I’m sorry if your head treats them as strings but that’s like, a you problem, man…
Welcome to the thread. It’s something that annoys me in which I asked if it annoyed anyone else. I’m not sure why you’re trying to explain away my annoyance with information I already know.
Also, filenames are quite literally strings. That’s how the image binaries will be sorted. As filenames.
release_1.1.bin release_1.10.bin release_1.2.binAnd yes I’m aware of
sort -V. I can still have an OCD annoyance with it. I swear to God if someone replies again telling me why I shouldn’t be annoyed.At this point I’m more annoyed with replies than I was version numbers.
for f in $(find /); do mv $f $(echo $f | sed ‘s/.([0-9])./.0\1./’; done
ftfy
edit: dont actually run that
Too late. My problem is fixed. But now grub won’t load.
Is 1312 the new cool number? I thought we were still at 67?
1312 has been the cool number for as long as it has stood for ACAB.
1312 (acab) is pretty old tho
