Addition of major version tags #51

Closed noritada closed 2 years ago

noritada commented 2 years ago

Thank you very much for this nice Action.

It would be great if you could add major version tags so that major releases always refer to the latest patch release. That way users would be able to keep using uses: abatilo/actions-poetry@v2 for the latest version of this Action, instead of rewriting uses: abatilo/actions-poetry@v2.1.5 to uses: abatilo/actions-poetry@v2.1.6 for example. Since this Action employs semantic versioning, users would not be inconvenienced by the use of major version tags.

Concerns

Major version tag replacement may need to be a manual operation documented in action-versioning.md for the time being.

It seems that actions/setup-python and other GitHub official Actions are using a workflow release-new-action-version.yml to replace a major version tag when adding a patch version tag to make a patch release. However, that workflow is implemented using actions/publish-action, which is still in an alpha version and is only used internally on GitHub, so it does not seem possible at this time for a third party to use it to implement the major version tag replacement.

A little crude but I think this should do what you're looking for @noritada! It's not an official release but I do believe you can reference actions from repos using just a raw tag ref.

If you agree, could you go ahead and close this?
