Adds a per-package dist_tag: true/false metadata flag (default false).
When enabled the build tool appends the RPM dist tag to the release
at build time so each distro produces a unique version in the Gitea
package registry:
release: 1 + almalinux/el9 -> PACKAGE_RELEASE=1.el9
release: 1 + fedora/43 -> PACKAGE_RELEASE=1.fc43
This ensures Gitea package existence checks don't confuse packages built
for one distro with those built for another (the original bug).
Changes:
- Add effective_release() and get_rpm_dist_tag() helpers
- Revert the broken files-endpoint check from the previous commit;
dist disambiguation is now handled purely via the release string
- discover_packages and build_single both compute the effective release
before constructing PackageInfo
- check_package_exists simplified back to a single version-level check
- dist_tag added to METADATA_SCHEMA and PackageMetadata dataclass
- All 72 metadata.yaml files updated with dist_tag: true
- Add github_release_pattern field to support multi-product repositories
- Implement get_github_releases_by_pattern() for filtered release matching
- Add parse_github_version_release() to extract version-release components
- Update openbao plugin packages with release patterns and correct versions
- Configure openbao-plugins meta package for manual versioning
- Fix HashiCorp package GitHub repository references
- Support complex tag formats like "secrets-consul-v0.1.0" and "v7.1.3-1"
This enables automatic updates for packages sharing GitHub repos while
maintaining proper RPM version/release semantics and backward compatibility.
- Migrate from legacy shell-based build system to modern Python tooling
- Update all metadata.yaml files to new schema with per-distro builds
- Standardise build scripts with curl -L, envsubst, and error handling
- Convert nfpm.yaml templates to use environment variable substitution
- Update Dockerfile to accept all package metadata as build arguments
- Modernise Makefile to use new Python build tool commands
- Update CI workflow to use tools/build instead of make
Add simplified metadata structure for all 41 packages containing:
- Package name, version, and release number
- GitHub repository for packages with GitHub releases
- Build configuration for el/8 and el/9 distributions
This metadata enables future automation for version checking and package building across different distributions.
