- Triggers on version tags (v*) - Builds all 6 architectures using existing make release-build - Creates proper tar.gz archives with LICENSE - Generates SHA256 checksums - Creates GitHub release with all artifacts
- Disable Go cache to avoid tar restoration conflicts - Add explicit cache cleaning for fresh builds - Download and verify dependencies explicitly - Ensures clean build environment for releases
- Generate final kubectl-oadp.yaml with real SHA256 checksums - Use Python for readable and maintainable string processing - Include final manifest as release artifact - Update release notes with installation instructions - Ready for krew index submission automation
- Use v0.0.0 as template version placeholder - All URLs now use consistent template version - Add missing windows-arm64 platform (matches workflow builds) - Ready for Python automation to populate real versions and SHA256s
✨ Major improvements:
- Convert oadp.yaml to environment variable template
- Replace complex Python regex with clean envsubst
- Much more readable and maintainable approach
- Robust error handling and validation
- Template uses ${VERSION}, ${LINUX_AMD64_SHA}, etc.
🔧 Technical benefits:
- No more fragile regex string replacement
- Standard environment variable substitution
- Easier to debug and modify
- Less code, more reliable
🎯 Perfect for krew index submission: - Generate oadp.yaml directly (not oadp-final.yaml) - Release artifact is ready to drop into krew index - No renaming needed - matches krew convention exactly - Clean workflow: template → envsubst → oadp.yaml
🐛 Fixes checksum validation errors: - Only create archives for the 6 krew platforms (not ppc64le/s390x) - Fix Windows naming: .exe binary → .tar.gz archive (no .exe in archive name) - Skip non-binary files (kubectl-oadp-design.md) - Explicit platform list ensures exact match with oadp.yaml - Better error handling if binaries missing ✅ Now checksums.txt will have exactly the files the workflow expects
🐛 Resolves tar exit code 2 failures across all workflows: - Disable Go cache in cross-arch build job (cache: false) - Disable Go cache in all test jobs (Linux/macOS/Windows) - Add cache cleaning step for build job - Prevents tar conflicts during cache restoration ✅ No more 'Failed to restore' warnings in CI logs 🚀 More reliable builds across all architectures
