What it is and what it does
charm-refresh-build-version is a build-time utility that reads version information from git tags and writes it into a refresh_versions.toml file, designed to keep charm project versions synchronized. It depends on dunamai for git tag parsing and tomlkit for TOML file manipulation, making it a lightweight addition to build workflows.
The package targets Python 3.8 through 3.13 and is actively maintained. It solves the problem of manual version synchronization in projects that use both git tags and TOML-based version configuration, automating a repetitive step in builds.
Use it for
- Automate version updates in charm projects by syncing git tags to refresh_versions.toml during builds
- Integrate version management into CI/CD pipelines for charm-based applications
- Maintain consistent versioning across charm metadata and build configuration files
