fdupes version confusion

[btbouwens]

I found your fdupes program on https://rtcamp.com/tutorials/linux/fdupes-duplicate-hardlinks/ ,
then I saw that Fedora already has this, as fdupes-1.51-8.fc22.x86_64 which I installed.
But: it doesn't work, it doesn't support the -L flag.

When I check out https://github.com/tobiasschulz/fdupes I get version 1.50-PR2 but this does
support the -L flag, and there are no tags or releases defined whatsoever.

So assuming this is the real and final program, it would be good to set the VERSION to 1.52, tag it, and release it.
Then at least it's clear which version is older/newer.

Same here.
My debian jessie proposes a package build form sources locates at http://code.google.com/p/fdupes/.
It does not have "-L" option and answers 1.51, when asked for the version.
But when I built from github master branch, I get "-L" option and version 1.50-PR2.
Looking into "debian" folder I see that some patch are there, like "50_bts284274_hardlinkreplace.dpatch" but it has not been applied on my distro (Maintainer: Sandro Tosi [email protected]).
That's confusing.

Actually, the real repository of fdupes seems to be this one : https://github.com/adrianlopezroche/fdupes
