Freeze releases structure

[hryamzik]

Can I possibly ask you to stop moving files in releases archives? I've written some automation that takes linux 64 bit archive from the latest guthub release and extracts it to FS.

Recently node_exporter just contained the node_exporter binary, now it's the node_exporter-0.12.0.linux-amd64 directory.

The new standard is to always include a directory for all official prometheus components. All old release processes will be updated to adhere to that guideline.

Thanks, and can I relay on linux-amd64 substring in linux 64 archives?

- name: get package url
  set_fact:
      prometheus_json: "{{ item }}"
  with_items: github_release.assets
  when: "'linux-amd64' in item.name"

Yes. The folder and tarball names have the format {software}-{version}.{os}-{arch}. The tarballs will always be gzip compressed and have the extension .tar.gz.

Perfect, thanks!
