1.5.58 tag but no release with assets

[mcanouil]

It appears there is a 1.5.58 tag on the repository which confuses tools checking for semantic version.

• https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/releases/tag/v1.5.58

The last version is 1.5.57 which has a release and is listed in https://quarto.org/docs/download/

For example, the Dev Container feature from rocker.org allows to use major.minor.

{
	"name": "1.5 - Mickaël CANOUIL - Quarto Codespaces",
	"image": "ghcr.io/mcanouil/quarto-codespaces:latest",
	"remoteUser": "vscode",
	"features": {
		"ghcr.io/rocker-org/devcontainer-features/quarto-cli:1": {
			"version": "1.5",
			"installTinyTex": "false",
			"installChromium": "false"
		}
	}
}

This will lead to the feature to find 1.5.58 but to crash because there are no assets.

It seems the tag is correct (there are changes in the 1.5 branch) but the release is missing:

• v1.5.57...v1.5.58

The release failed for some reason and the version bump was reverted but the tag remained and no new release was done to deploy the changes: 4a8eec9

So some part of the 1.5 branch was never released.

• https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/commits/v1.5/

The fix could be to:

• delete 1.5.58 tag
• trigger a new 1.5 release

This is a failed release process that was not correctly cleaned. Possibly this one but we don't have the log anymore

• https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/actions/runs/11182749146

what I am seeing is that:

• We have commits and backport from 1.6 to 1.5.58: v1.5.57...v1.5.58
  This is the list.js update

• Since wrong 1.5.58 we also add other backport, but it seems we never did a patch release at the time
  v1.5.57...v1.5
  Some CI update, but mainly a QuartoNotebookRunner backport that we never released

  • [v1.5] Update QuartoNotebookRunner.jl to v0.11.5 #11101

So I see two paths:

• We remove 1.5.58 tag, and 1.5.57 remains the latest 1.5 version.
• We publish 1.5.58 as the current HEAD or v1.5 branch and so we do a new v1.5 patch release.

To be discussed.

Tag v1.5.58 was deleted from the repo.

@mcanouil does it solve the dev container stuff ?

[mcanouil]

let me check with my Codespaces repository which has a "1.5" setup.

[mcanouil]

The Dev Container Quarto feature now properly detects 1.5.57 as the last version for "1.5".

So users using this Dev Container feature should no longer face this issue.

Thanks for finding this stale tag

FYI, I did a more thorough check and no tags without releases were found:

owner=quarto-dev
repo=quarto-cli
all_tags=$(gh api repos/${owner}/${repo}/git/refs/tags --paginate | jq -r '.[].ref' | sed 's|refs/tags/||')
all_releases=$(gh api repos/${owner}/${repo}/releases --paginate | jq -r '.[].tag_name')
for tag in ${all_tags}; do
    if ! echo "${all_releases}" | grep -q "^${tag}$"; then
        echo "${tag}"
    fi
done
