Versions

Available in v0.12.0+.

Vendir uses version selection in following places:

  • git source type for selection of ref based on Git tags
  • image source type for selection of tag based on registry tags
  • imgpkgBundle source type for selection of tag based on registry tags
  • githubRelease source type for selection of tag based on tags

VersionSelection type

VersionSelection type may be used by other projects (such as kbld) for selection of versions in different contexts. All usage follows same spec:

# interpret versions according to semantic version spec.
# see semver section below for further details (required)
semver:
  # list of semver constraints (optional)
  constraints: ">0.4.0"
  # by default prerelease versions are not included (optional)
  prereleases:
    # select prerelease versions that include given identifiers (optional)
    identifiers: [beta, rc]

Semver

github.com/k14s/semver/v4 package is used for parsing “semver” versions. It’s a fork of k14s/semver.

For valid semver syntax refer to https://semver.org/#backusnaur-form-grammar-for-valid-semver-versions. (Commonly-used v prefix will be ignored during parsing)

For constraints syntax refer to k14s/semver’s Ranges section.

By default prerelease versions are not included in selection. See examples for details.

Examples

Any version greater than 0.4.0 without prereleases.

semver:
  constraints: ">0.4.0"

Any version greater than 0.4.0 with all prereleases.

semver:
  constraints: ">0.4.0"
  prereleases: {}

Any version greater than 0.4.0 with only beta or rc prereleases.

semver:
  constraints: ">0.4.0"
  prereleases:
    identifiers: [beta, rc]

sort-semver command

vendir tools sort-semver command is included to showcase how vendir parses versions.

  • --version (-v) specifies one or more versions
  • --constraint (-c) specifies zero or more constraints
  • --prerelease specifies to include prereleases
  • --prerelease-identifier specifies zero or more identifiers to match prereleases
