ParaView date based versioning is incomplete
ParaView recently switched to date based versionning, however it seems incomplete.
The date appears in version.txt
as well as in the package names generated by ParaView-superbuild.
But it seems to be incorrect in many other places.
-
paraview --version
reportsparaview version 5.12.0-RC2-330-g0cf0dc5a12
- About dialog reports
5.12.0-RC2-330-g0cf0dc5a12
- ParaView dialog is
5.12.0-RC2-330-g0cf0dc5a12
- find_package(ParaView) report a ParaView_VERSION
5.12.0-RC2-330-g0cf0dc5a12
It would be nice if the versionning was coherent. Using VTK has an example would be fine imo.
