[RFC] Suggestion to remove v prefix in versions name (http://semver.org)

[rogeriopradoj]

Hello, @PUGX.

Just a suggestion: could you use version names without the prefix in order to stay closer with http://server.org http://semver.org/?

Example: 1.0.0, 1.0.0-RC etc...

What do you guys thinks?

[liuggio]

good idea... I added 'RFC' to the issue...

👎

all major bundles and Symfony2 use it.
anyway, what is server.org?

[rogeriopradoj]

Ops, @leopro , I'm sorry.

The correct website is http://semver.org/, the Semantic Versioning website.

I've updated the message.

semver.org itself has these versions:

v2.0.0-rc.2
v2.0.0-rc.1
v1.0.0

:-P

[rogeriopradoj]

Yeah, @garak, I think my RFC is non-sense now...

-1

In fact I asked for that because some of parsers i've tried said that versions like v1.0.0 are invalid:

• "naneau/semver": "dev-master",
• "respect/validation": "dev-develop"

After that I've found out the way composer does for parsing: it says v1.0.0 is a formatted version, and resolve just taking the 'v' away!

Thank you guys for at least taking a look on this!

Your idea wasn't so bad, because the concept of 'stable' is provides the version to put into the composer.json, and the 'v' is no needed.
