Hi Brian,
Well, in Gitlab there are no parametrized builds,
but anyway if we do a release we don't know if
we will need a bugfix release or not at that point
(it's not that we do bugs on purpose so we can
plan for bugfix releases ;-)
Say we are at 4.7.1, the safest assumption is to
choose 4.7.2-0 for the experimental build, because
if we do a release (be it 4.7.2 or 4.8.0) we want
it to be greater than the last experimental build.
The bi-weekly builds are there only to facilitate
testing of the master branch, and the current
versioning schema is there to make the installation
with yum easier. There are not like RCs that
precede an actual release and whose versions
are in line with actual release versions.
Cheers,
Michal

Hi Michal,
But I thought this was one of the advantages of having the build separated out into Jenkins (or GitLab), right? We have the ability to do configure the builder to generate a separate "version", so we could update it whenever we want the branch to update...

Hi Brian,
Yes, the next release will be 4.8.x, but there's now way for the build system
to guess if the next one will be a bug fix release or a feature release.
By policy the build system takes the latest tag and based on it creates
the experimental RPMs (just by bumping the patch number and adding
the respective suffix).
Cheers,
Michal

Hi Michal,
I noticed that the latest RPMs based off master are referred to as a 4.7.2 pre-release? Is that correct? Isn't master leading up to 4.8.x?
