Description

Description

Currently, the release tag only includes the version number with no information about which platform it is meant for.

Who's implementing?

  • I'm willing to implement this feature myself

The problem

The release tag not containing information about the platform makes it difficult to figure out which version is the latest for a given platform.

Possible solutions

Release tag includes platform information. So instead of 136.0.7103.59-1 it'd be 136.0.7103.59-1-linux and 136.0.7103.49-1 would be 136.0.7103.49-1-win and 136.0.7103.49-1-mac. This makes it easy on the Flathub side to filter the tag by platform first and then get the latest amongst them.

Research direction
Look at the repository's release scripts, possibly in the 'scripts' or 'tools' directory, to understand how release tags are currently created. The issue suggests modifying the tag format to include the platform (e.g., linux, win, mac). Check the CI/CD configuration (e.g., GitHub Actions) and the step that creates the tag for each platform. A good starting point is to find the script that runs during the release workflow and modify the tag creation command to append the platform name.
