- 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
- Replace Makefile version/release file system with metadata.yaml only
- Add Python build automation (./tools/build) with Gitea API integration
- Add GitHub release updater (./tools/update-gh) for version management
- Centralize Dockerfiles into single parameterized Dockerfile
- Remove 54+ individual package Dockerfiles and version directories
- Update Makefile to use new Python tooling
- Add GITEA_API_TOKEN validation to prevent duplicate builds
- Support both explicit version/release args and metadata.yaml reading
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.
Standardize download commands across all build scripts:
- HashiCorp packages: wget -O → curl -o
- VictoriaMetrics packages: wget -O → curl -o
- Other packages: wget -O → curl -o, wget → curl -O
- Update dependency lists to use curl instead of wget
This change provides consistency across all packages and uses a single download tool.
- the build job searches for the package in dnf cache, but because it
was three packages in victoriametrics, it would never find the package
and therfore would rebuild the package every run
