Bug#1003042: Why aren't non-SDK releases packaged?
Source: vulkan-validationlayers
Version: 1.2.189.0-1.1
Severity: wishlist
It seems that debian/watch only tracks tags starting with "sdk-" and
intermediate releases aren't packaged.
Are there any reasons besides time and manpower? Would there be a way to assist?
Lack of timely releases in downstream distros such as Debian is a pain point I
brought up in the LunarG Vulkan 2021 ecosystem survey. My impression was that
this was due to lack of official releases/tags for intermediate versions, but
they have got back to me and pointed out that that is not the case. And indeed I
cannot see any difference between SDK and non-SDK tags besides the SDK ones
having an official binary release from LunarG.
