Seems unmaintained

[Zebradil]

Hi,

I thought to use this image as a source of binaries in my Dockerfile, but it seems unmaintained. Are there any plans on pushing new versions of this image regularly? The latest version is currently 7 months old.

hey @Zebradil ! Sorry for that impression, our automation stopped working but we fixed it a few months ago. Thanks for the heads up though, just getting around to closing this issue.

Seems broken again? :latest has been created on 2023-01-19T01:30:35.020Z, according to the label org.opencontainers.image.created inside the image.

We, too, want to use the image to copy the binaries from.

As an alternative, we could probably use ghcr.io/carvel-dev/kapp-controller which contains all the binaries, too. Unfortunately, just like this image, it is also not properly tagged. The image from this project only has :latest while ghcr.io/carvel-dev/kapp-controller uses non-descriptive image tags:

I wish there was an image that follows the versioning of kapp-controller, or maybe even better: Separate images for each of the carvel tools where the image-tags match the tool versions.

Edit: Turns out, I am not the only one. This is actually the only open issue in this project:
