[RFC] Which runc version should we set in the /VERSION file on the main branch?

[rata]

Now we have:

• main: VERSION 1.3.0-rc.1+dev
• release-1.3: VERSION 1.3.0-rc.1 (even after the tag)

Shall release-1.3 have 1.3.0-rc.1+dev? In which case main might be 1.4.<something>?

What do others think?

[AkihiroSuda]

The version should be dynamically set from ReadBuildInfo()

@AkihiroSuda that is the go version, right? No, sorry, I meant the runc version we put in the VERSION file

[AkihiroSuda]

that is the go version

No, the version of the runc module

[rata]

@AkihiroSuda not sure I follow. When someone runs runc -v in a runc compiled from main now, what should the runc version be?

Should be the value of the vcs.revision (i.e., the git commit hash)
