Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why do I see "Version ID: unavailable", in page footers or GitHub issues?

Version ID is unavailable if the file commit-id.xml is missing under the clarin/data/ path. And that will usually happen if you install the source locally, without bothering about the nitty-gritty required to serve the SIS to the public. In such cases, page footers are going to say "Version ID: unavailable", and the link from "unavailable", instead of leading you to commit information, should bring you here.

Now, when, from a locally run system set up like that, you wish to post an issue to the GitHub, in a few cases, the title of the issue is going to be generated automatically, and then your going to see, e.g.

   "Suggestion regarding the description of format ID="fCSV", [commitId=unavailable]"

-- and that may still be a valid issue report, of course, although its subject is not fully informative.
