Hi, I have a question about the support git repo where the various Compose libraries live.

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support/+/refs/heads/androidx-main/compose/

While I see many tags on it for Android releases among other things, I don't see tags for the releases of the Compose libraries themselves. For example, if I want to see the source of compose.ui 1.2.1, how do I find out which git commit ID I should check out?

Cheers and thank you 🙂

You cannot do that (particularly for stable releases, which are done on internal only release branches). You'd want to look at the source jars directly from the 'sources' link on maven.google.com - e.g.: https://maven.google.com/web/index.html#androidx.compose.ui:ui:1.2.1

Ah, not the answer I was hoping to hear, but thank you. I'll work with that.

Hey @Ian Lake oh shoot. so because it's a sources jar build, it lacks important things like build.gradle.

Basically I'm looking to rebuild release versions of Compose from source.

It sounds like this wasn't actually your problem at all then lol. Classic case of an XY Problem https://xyproblem.info/

Ah, I was actually mistaken - the release branch is public: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support/+/refs/heads/androidx-compose-release

[Ian Lake]

There aren't any tags though, so you'd need to manually compare commits listed on the release page to track down what was in/not in a particular release

OK, thank you.
