Move "latest" tag on quay.io

[theBNT]

Hi there,

currently it seems that the latest tag on https://quay.io/repository/giantswarm/kubectl-gs?tab=tags is almost a month old and when pulling

it seems that its still referring to 4.3.1-dev

> docker run -it quay.io/giantswarm/kubectl-gs:latest --version
kubectl-gs version 4.3.1-dev
> docker inspect quay.io/giantswarm/kubectl-gs:latest

When is the latest tag normally dragged along?

Maybe this is related to pipeline changes for #1419?

Thanks!

@theBNT Thanks for reporting this! We are investigating. I'll keep you posted here.

[theBNT]

ok thanks, just fyi, now it seems the latest tag is just gone :>

[marians]

Right. I deleted it since it isn't moved any more.

We haven't decided yet whether we can bring back the latest tagging. It's something we have removed from our general build automation. We still have to discuss whether we want to bring this back just for this use case.
