set VERSION file to dev

[the-mikedavis]

Forgot to follow up on this: the idea is that we set the VERSION file to include -dev after a release so it's easy to see when someone is building from source on a non-tagged version.

Maybe a better solution would be using an environment var to check whether it's building in CI or not?

We could probably have the CI modify the VERSION file to remove the -dev suffix (so we'd still need to update the VERSION file before a release but not before and after)

Should we bump this to 22.05-dev?

Shouldn't this be set to e.g. 22.05 right before a new release? I've built helix from the last tagged release but helix -V shows 22.05-dev 🤔

[archseer]

There's two ways: either bump right before a release, or do it right after. We tried doing it after a release so that builds from master have a different version from the latest stable release, but we forgot to remove the -dev suffix...

Will push a new 22.05 tag shortly!
