dh-make-golang make: directly use the user preferred tag specified in "-git_revision" option #227
Conversation
… "-git_revision" option
When a user specifies a valid tag when using
dh-make-golang make -git_revision {some valid tag}
if there is another tag pointing to the same commit as the specified
tag, then dh-make-golang might use the other tag to determine the
package version.
This patch modifies the behavior of "dh-make-golang make" such that, if
the user specifies a valid tag in "-git_revision" option,
"dh-make-golang make" will always use the specified tag to determine the
upstream package version.
This patch also trivially changes the tests written in version_test.go
so that the tests adjusts to the new function signature of
version.go:pkgVersionFromGit().

There was a problem hiding this comment.
These are some comments regarding why I use a goto statement. Please let me know if there are better alternatives.
I want to use the git describe heuristics as a fallback in case I cannot verify if the user specified git revision is valid or not.
The logic I want to implement is:
if (u.rr is valid (which makes u.rr.VCS.Tags meaningful) and the user specified tag exists as a valid tag) {
set the latest tag to this user specified tag
} else {
the fallback heuristics
}
However, to implement the "if" part of the above pseudocode, I cannot find a way to implement it as a single if clause. This will result in the "else" part being written out twice, and I want to avoid such duplication.
In other words, I am trying to deal with the problem in this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13197425/multiple-if-with-one-else
