FIX:

Most VOLTHA repositories contain the file VERISON which contain a semantic version string for builds.

Content and use of the VERSION file is documented [here]

• Problem #1: No VERSION file included with a patch.

  • If a VERSION file was not included in your patch simply add it with an incremented version string.

• Problem #2: Development collision

  • Periodically two devs may work in a repository at the same time.

  • Jenkins job processing is on a first-come-first-serve-basis.

  • When two patches are submitted for inclusion

    • The first patch will be accepted.

    • The second patch will fail with a duplicate tag.

  • This is a normal development event, when it happens check the repository to determine the latest VERSION string, increment the value and include the VERSION file in your patch.

  • ie: git commit –amend; git rebase; git review
