Description Ivan D Vasin 2011-03-16 18:57:44 UTC

Version:           unspecified
OS:                unspecified

many times when i've submitted bug reports on bugs.kde.org, the application version i was using was absent from the "Application Version" dropdown.  sometimes this dropdown is, in fact, outdated by several versions.  once even the "KDE Version" dropdown was outdated a few days after a KDE release.

i can imagine a system that is triggered by VCS post-commit hooks to detect new release tags and populate the corresponding versions into the appropriate version lists in the bug tracker.  this would avoid the current situation, and it would relieve maintainers of this menial task.

Reproducible: Sometimes

We are now warning developers to update their versions in the bug tracker and it is part of the release process of KDE for the main versions. 

Implementing a hook for such a thing would mean checking every commit for  new tags, we can't do that as the hooks need to be as efficient as can be.
