The pkg-stats script queries release-monitoring.org to find the latest
upstream versions of our packages. However, up until recently,
release-monitoring.org had no notion of stable
vs. development/release-candidate versions, so for some packages the
"latest" version was in fact a development/release-candidate version
that we didn't want to package in Buildroot.
However, in recent time, release-monitoring.org has gained support for
differentiating stable vs. development releases of upstream
projects. See for example
https://release-monitoring.org/project/10024/ for the glib library,
which has a number of versions marked "Pre-release".
The JSON blurb returned by release-monitoring.org has 3 relevant
fields:
- "version", which we are using currently, which is a string
containing the reference of the latest version, including
pre-release.
- "versions", which is an array of strings listing all versions,
pre-release or not.
- "stable_versions", which is an array of string listing only
non-pre-release versions. It is ordered newest first to oldest
last.
So, this commit changes from using 'version' to using
'stable_versions[0]'.
As an example, before this change, pkg-stats reports that nfs-utils
needs to be bumped to 2.5.5rc3, while after this patch, it reports
that nfs-utils is already at 2.5.4, and that this is the latest stable
version (modulo an issue where Buildroot has 2.5.4 and
release-monitoring.org has 2-5-4, this will be addressed separately).
Note that part of this change was already done in commit f7b0e0860, but
it was incomplete.
