1 year ago I disagree with the proposal here. Open source authors should not need to distribute a new updated version for every patch or minor version release. The package manager should handle this. For example, Docker and NPM handle this out of the box. The 2 packages you referenced are authored by GitHub, hence they are working around their own limitation.
Sorry, but I will not be doing this to makeup for GitHub's dysfunction. Please open an issue with GitHub Actions.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I want to define the version of the GH action to avoid a major version bump without my interaction. But I also don't want to update the minor and bugfix version manually. They can update autmatically. For that I want to define the GH action in my code like that, just defining the major version:
Currently this leads to an error because the
v9tag is not given at all. There are just version tags with the full version likev9.1.1.Describe the solution you'd like For each new release we have to define the detailed version tag and also update the major version tag for this release. Other actions do that curreently, like: https://github.com/actions/setup-node/tags . For example we could use the following GH action which manages the version tags automatically: actions/publish-action
Describe alternatives you've considered Nothing in mind.
Additional context nope
