Description
Proposal
Enable version
, -V
and --version
as the supported arguments, so we increase the likelihood for people to get a match if they're looking for version info. Note that rustc
supports --version
and -V
, so supporting these argument is part and parcel in the ecosystem.
Additionally, make moss
and boulder
print out version information as # <executable> version (git hash)
if an invocation contains commands in addition to -V/--version
, such as boulder --version build
or moss --version install (...)
.
This will enable infrastructure tooling to always call moss
and boulder
with the --version
argument, which is a benefit when checking logs for which versions were used build/install packages, which in turn means that operationally, canary builds will also serve as a way to ensure that the deployed versions are the ones that we expected to be deployed.
Context
Currently, moss
and boulder
don't support the same arguments when trying to get version info:
$ moss -V
error: unexpected argument '-V' found
Usage: moss [OPTIONS] [COMMAND]
For more information, try '--help'.
$ moss -v
moss 0.1.0 (931a4f5)
$ moss --version
moss 0.1.0 (931a4f5)
$ moss version
moss 0.1.0 (931a4f5)
$ boulder -V
boulder 0.1.0 (931a4f5)
$ boulder -v
error: unrecognized subcommand 'version'
Usage: boulder [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>
For more information, try '--help'.
$ boulder --version
boulder 0.1.0 (931a4f5)
$ boulder version
error: unrecognized subcommand 'version'
Usage: boulder [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>
