Version: v3.0.35-src vs 1.3.2

[serge2016]

Hello!

I recently built current version from src with following commands:

export SOFT="~/soft"
mkdir -p "$SOFT"

export INTEROP_VERSION="1.3.2"
cd "$SOFT" \
    && wget -q "https://github.com/Illumina/interop/archive/refs/tags/v${INTEROP_VERSION}.tar.gz" -O "$SOFT/interop-${INTEROP_VERSION}.tar.gz" \
    && tar -xzf "$SOFT/interop-${INTEROP_VERSION}.tar.gz" \
    && mv "$SOFT/interop-${INTEROP_VERSION}" "$SOFT/interop-${INTEROP_VERSION}_src" \
    && mkdir -p "$SOFT/interop-${INTEROP_VERSION}_src/build" \
    && cd "$SOFT/interop-${INTEROP_VERSION}_src/build" \
    && cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$SOFT/interop-${INTEROP_VERSION}" \
    && cmake --build . -j"$(($(nproc)+1))" \
    && cmake --build . --target install

Now when I run:

bio@bisa10:~$ summary
# Version: v3.0.35-src

bio@bisa10:~$ which summary
/home/bio/soft/interop-1.3.2/bin/summary

So why do I get v3.0.35-src instead of 1.3.2?

We use git to determine the version. When git fails, we provide a fallback version v3.0.35-src.

So, either you

1. downloaded and built from the source archive
2. Git failed to get the current version

We chose this mechanism because it:

1. Let's us know whether the code has changed (assuming git works)
2. Prevents accidentally getting the version wrong
