This is interesting because the both tags point to the same commit. When this was created, the release tag was added and CI did the build. So, how do we get CI to handle the tags properly?

from helm.

If I look at the build-cross make target the version comes from ...

git describe --tags --abbrev=0 --exact-match 2>/dev/null

When I run this in Linux environments, I get the release version. I'm not able to duplicate it.

But, the wrong version shows up in the release job and the release job checkout out the exact right tag.

We need to update the build job (GHA workflow) to make sure the VERSION environment variable is the tag, I think?

@mattfarina maybe we can rerelease?

Encountered this due to ansible within its helm modules throwing a LooseVersion error, downgraded to an older version of helm which reports 3.x.x and things are happy again. The -rc.2 didn't play nicely within Ansible, would be great to address this (through homebrew i don't encounter this -rc.2 issue and get 3.15.0)

Uhm isn't that even worse that homebrew ships a different binary?

@TheMeier this isn't unusual in open source.

from helm.

@TheMeier open source is about the source code rather than the builds. For example, pretty much everyone uses curl. The curl projects does not distribute binaries. Everyone gets them from their OS, package manager, etc. It's not just acceptable but expected to have different builds of the same source.

from helm.

The pull request at #13059 provides a simple fix. The tag is passed in as the explicit version rather than being automatically detected.
