git_url is now a standalone field that can appear alongside any source
type. For githubsource packages, it adds a git clone entry per release
in addition to the tarball and zipball. Updated aliasman, duckdns.sh,
and serviceman configs.
Three distinct fetch/classify strategies:
- github: binary assets only, no source entries
- githubsource: tarball + zipball from GitHub releases API
- gittag: git clone + tag enumeration (existing)
GitHub binary packages (caddy, jq, shellcheck, etc.) no longer get
spurious .git and source tarball entries for old releases that had
no binary uploads. Source-installable packages (aliasman, duckdns.sh,
serviceman) now use github_source in releases.conf.
Tagless repos (only HEAD, no real version tags): rewrite HEAD version
to Node.js-compatible format (v2023.10.10-18.42.21) with full UTC
datetime.
Repos with real tags + HEAD: tag HEAD entries with "head" variant so
ExportLegacy filters them out (they shouldn't appear in legacy cache).
Hardcode the old 10.12, 10.13, 11.8, 12.3 releases from EnterpriseDB
that predate the bnnanet/postgresql-releases GitHub repo. Both postgres
and psql now match the live cache exactly.
GitHub's prerelease boolean is often not set for rc/beta/alpha/dev/pre
releases. Add channelFromVersion() to detect these from the version
string as a fallback. Applied to github, gitea, gittag, and hashicorp
classifiers. Hashicorp's inline checks replaced with the shared helper.
-pre maps to beta (prerelease), -preview stays preview.
The cli- prefix is a watchexec-specific monorepo artifact, not a generic
config concern. Move it to internal/releases/watchexec/versions.go
alongside other per-package normalizers (git, lf).
- ffmpeg: add version_prefix = b to strip 'b' from tags (b6.0 → 6.0)
- legacy.go: add .gz to legacyFormats for bare gzipped binaries
- iterm2: broaden regex to handle preview/beta variants, skip empty
versions
Match count: 75/106
Node.js pads Go versions like "1.10" to "1.10.0". Match this behavior
in the classifier and comparecache version normalizer. Also filter
-arm6. malformed arch and .src. source tarballs from comparison noise.
Match count: 73/106
Git for Windows uses tags like v2.53.0.windows.1. Node.js strips
".windows.1" and replaces ".windows.N" (N>1) with ".N".
Add NormalizeVersions to the git package and wire it into the classify
pipeline. Also add version normalization to comparecache so the
comparison uses canonical versions for both caches.
Remaining git diffs: data freshness (.windows.2 releases Go hasn't
fetched) and RC versions in Go that live doesn't have.
Move all source-specific classifiers, variant tagging, config filtering,
and readAllRaw out of cmd/webicached into internal/classifypkg. The new
Package() function runs the full classify pipeline: source dispatch →
tag variants → apply config.
webicached now only handles fetching raw data and writing to fsstore.
The classification logic is reusable by comparecache and future tools.
