FPC 3.2.4, naming suggestions
lazarus / 60-Free Pascal

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fred vS · 2021-11-10 22:06

Hello.

Only out of (big) curiosity, version 3.0.0 was called "Pestering
Peacock".

QuoteWe are happy to announce the release of the Free Pascal Compiler
version
3.0.0 "Pestering Peacock".
What will be the name of 3.2.4 ?
( Or maybe "Pestering Peacock" is for all the 3.x.x versions, if so,
sorry for the noise. )

Fre;D

There is none (though I personally think of 3.2.0 as “The Neverending
Story”, cause it took so long from branch till release  ). The name
for 3.0.0 was an inside joke, cause at the hackathon we FPC devs had
back in 2013 in Bingen we had a peacock as neighbour who has making
rather annoying noises all day long (and 3.0.0 was the first release
after that  ).

Hello.

Ha OK.

By the way, personally I like when projects have name for release.
Like Debian ( a hero from Toy Story ) or Ubuntu ( a animal + his
quality ).

While fun, it makes references to versions in normal messages insider
jokes. From a version number you can determine the sequence of
releases, from a name not. So I'm not in favour of making this a
habit.

I wonder however if 3.2.0's process was really that slower than 3.0.0
(or 2.6.0). Major branch releases tend to move slowly.

Is it not the most important ?

Quote from: marcov on November 11, 2021, 03:56:43 pmFrom a version

Hum, more or less.
For example, Ubuntu uses alphabetic order.
You can imagine to use 3 words, the first for the global release
number, the 2th for sub-release and the 3th for sub-sub release.

For example for fpc 3.0.0 it is "Peacock Pestering Amazing".
For fpc 3.0.2  it could be "Peacock Pestering Beautiful"
For fpc 3.2.0  it could be "Peacock QAnon Amazing"
For fpc 3.2.2 it could be "Peacock QAnon Beautiful"
For fpc 3.2.4 it could be "Peacock QAnon Carfuly"

[EDIT]
Of course the name is there "just for fun", the release numbers still
stay.
And to be more "alphabetic" it could be:

For fpc 3.0.0: "Cock Adorable Amazing".
For fpc 3.0.2  it could be "Cock Adorable Beautiful"
For fpc 3.2.0  it could be "Cock Brutish Amazing"
For fpc 3.2.2 it could be "Cock Brutish Beautiful"
For fpc 3.2.4 it could be "Cock Brutish Carfuly"

etc...

PS: Just for fun, of course.

From https://chat.openai.com :

Question: QuoteQ: FPC 3.0.0 was named "Pestering Peacock".
What should FPC 3.2.4 be named?
Answer: QuoteA: As an AI language model, I don't have personal
opinions or make decisions, but here are a few suggestions for naming
FPC 3.2.4:

    Soaring Swallow
    Gliding Gull
    Majestic Magpie
    Radiant Raven
    Fluttering Falcon
    Regal Roc
    Nimble Nuthatch
    Swift Sparrow
    Majestic Mallard
    Effervescent Eagle.

It's up to the developers of FPC to choose a name that they think is
appropriate for their software release.

[EDIT] Imho, not very creative, AI only thought about birds, few
limited mind.

[…]This discussion is moot. Think about it: Why introduce names? It
is, for instance, useful when you provide support for multiple
versions at the same time (e. g. in the Debian context stable and
oldstable). The name is handier for the mortal user in lieu of a
string of “abstract numbers”. However, to my knowledge as far as the
FPC is concerned, once there is a new release any previous release
reaches EOL, thus is not supported anymore. Therefore, assigning names
is pure vanity. I think we can skip that.

Yes, I imagine, since the Pascal language is (was) very popular in

A Latin name is suggestive, after all 'Lazarus' is a latinized name.

Origin being Hebrew, that is correct. But Lazarus is the
romanized/latinized form of the original hebrew name I think is what

I think it would be fun to assign a name to FPC and Lazarus releases. 
I'd support naming them after eminent scientists, e.g, Sofya
Kovalevskaya (women in science don't get nearly as much recognition as
males with half their talent get)

naming suggestions ?

Stop giving irritating "code names" to software !!

It's annoying and serves no purpose. In fact it obfuscates where any
release lies historically.

Was Spastic Spazmoid before or after Incontinent Elephant?  Did they
have the same major release number?

Dunno but I do know that 3.2.1 was just before 3.2.2
