9. version tagging

Status

Accepted

Relates to 5. Versioning of the operator

Context

Repo tagging direcly affects our releases as we derive release version from tags. In the past there was a practice to prefix version tags with v.

Issue has been brought up in general terms at Distribution Team’s weekly meeting on Aug 09, 2021.

Decision

Use “plain version” as a tag bypassing v prefix:

# instead of: git tag 'v0.1.25'
git tag '0.1.25'

Consequences

Plain version tags will allow for easy and consistent automation of release and packaging processes.
