charm-refresh-build-version

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

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Writes charm version information into refresh_versions.toml by reading from git tags, automating version synchronization for charm-based projects.

Yes, if you are building projects that use git tags and refresh_versions.toml. Low install friction, active maintenance, and no known vulnerabilities make it a safe choice for that workflow. The unclear license status is worth checking before production use.
