Extra details

I posted this as an issue with vaultwarden but they have passed it back to the packager.

Some info from that discussion. dani-garcia/vaultwarden#4936

if packagers provide the right env variable during compile time it should also work
For example, DietPi could use VW_VERSION="1.32.7 - DietPi Edition"

Many thanks for reporting. This should add it. I am currently testing builds with the new native GitHub Actions ARM runners. Once this all works, and those builds do indeed show the version in the web UI, I can push the resulting packages to our APT server: 333bd4e

I just pushed a new build to our APT servers, which should show the version in the web UI.

Just tested this and it is better but seems that the build is displayed in the current version and the DietPi build differs slightly so it shows there's an update available,but there isn't.

It shows the very latest commit of the main branch: dani-garcia/vaultwarden@3baffee
That is however not released: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/releases
The latest release tag 1.33.2 has the commit 1f868b8. So IMO this information is somewhat misleading, at least if the aim is to show the latest release.

That was my thinking too, both bits of info are superfluous here. Just 1.33.2 is all that is required. Defintiely "workable" as it is but a minor annoyance nonetheless. Appreciate this is an issue with the package and not DietPi.

Based on the info here, I replaced the - with a +. But actually you are right, and we could just remove the suffix completely 🤔. It is important for the package version, as we may do a rebuild with same vaultwarden version but different web vault, or something around packaging or config changed. But the vaultwarden source version/binary is not affected by this, so I guess indeed we can just remove the suffix entirely.

EDIT: Done like that.
