version: never answer for somebody else's git; arch: 0.1.4-3

2026-09-02T14:10:48Z

The v0.1.4 arch packages introduced themselves as 0.1.4-dirty: the tag's tarball has no .git, makepkg builds it inside the release box's repository, and git describe walked up and answered for the outer tree -- mid-release, when the paperwork is honestly dirty. Found at 0.1.2, diagnosed, and then left unfixed by yours truly. Two fences now. contrib/version only trusts a .git whose toplevel is its own root (helps every future tarball). The PKGBUILD exports GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES for build and package (helps regardless of which contrib/version the pinned tarball carries, which is why the first rebuild still said -dirty: the fix was outside the tarball). pkgrel=3; both architectures rebuilt, verified 'slosh 0.1.4', and republished.

release: one 'make release' for the three target binaries

Streamline the release into a single target that stages all three binaries in dist/ with a SHA256SUMS: linux x86_64 } cross-built here with 'zig cc -target ... -s', static musl linux aarch64 } (runs on any distro), packaged as a .tar.gz with the binary + README + LICENSE + THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES macos arm64 handed to 'macos-dist', which signs/notarizes on the builder zig is already the compiler, so the two linux cross-builds need no extra toolchain -- just the vendored libghostty-vt rebuilt per -Dtarget. Verified both: static, stripped (~2MB), and both run (aarch64 under qemu-user). Factor the version ladder out of the Makefile into contrib/version, and call it from both Makefile and Makefile.macos, so the linux tarballs, the signed zip and the binary's own --version are all named from the same tag instead of Makefile.macos using its own 'git describe --always' scheme (which would have named the mac artifact after a bare commit hash while linux used the tag). make release-linux # just the two linux tarballs make release REF= # all three + SHA256SUMS
