How to obtain the source code of a specific LWJGL version of the native library?

[Glavo]

If I want to reproduce a build of a specific LWJGL version (e.g., 3.3.3), how can I obtain the git commit SHA of the native library source code for that version?

In addition, repositories in LWJGL-CI are always updated using force push. Do you have any plans to permanently retain the commits corresponding to each LWJGL version in some way (branch or tag)?

Hey @Glavo,

You can find the exact commit inside the META-INF folder of JAR artifacts that contain shared libraries. For example, if you're interested in org.lwjgl:lwjgl-sdl:natives-windows, the file would be META-INF/windows/x64/org/lwjgl/sdl/SDL3.dll.git.

However, that commit is the upstream commit used to produce the artifact. The LWJGL CI configuration commit that gets rebased (and force-pushed) on top of that includes important information, like exact OS and compiler versions, build flags/overrides and, sometimes, custom hotfixes. That commit is indeed lost for earlier versions, except for recent builds that GitHub Actions keeps as history.

I will consider tagging the final commits on future releases.
