I am maintaining an AUR package for this program, and am compiling it based on the release version/tag you were providing, there was before a 0.20.1 tag and it's removed now, why are tags being removed and how can I reliably compile a specific version without them?

[calexandru2018]

Hey @molaeiali sorry for the trouble, I'll look into it as I've created the releases but for some reason I noticed some of them I removed and rather left as drafts.

The tag is removed again @calexandru2018

[calexandru2018]

Alright, we've setup gitlab mirroring but it seems like it's erasing releases created on github. We'll work on it but it will take some time, sorry for the problems it's causing.

[calexandru2018]

I've added it again, shall see how it goes (have made a change on our side).

@calexandru2018 Thanks for adding them back. But the tag for https://github.com/ProtonVPN/python-proton-vpn-session disappears again.

[calexandru2018]

Hey sorry for this guys but there seems to be an issue with this and I'm not sure what the issue is, thus I'll be removing all releases as I don't know if it's the gitlab mirror setup that is removing them or something else (and this current setup seems to be unreliable).

Can you please consider alternative / backup ways of source code distribution?

Many major software have the source code archives (and PGP signatures) for each release on their website, such as KDE.

repo.protonvpn.com is used for hosting Debian and Fedora binary packages, so I think that can also be used to host source archives (release tarballs).

[proletarius101]

I think the problem is that Proton doesn't set up the mirror properly. My project https://github.com/proletarius101/Insular/tags can successfully mirror tags from gitlab.com to github.com. The simplest solution might still be for them to fix the push mirror setting instead of setting up another source code site.

Can developers please look into this issue again?

New releases and binary packages have been published on Nov 29 and Dec 5 (based on the ProtonVPN repo page), but currently the release tags are either missing or outdated, so it's difficult for packagers to track new ProtonVPN releases.

Taking this repo as an example, the latest version in Releases is still 0.20.1, while the actual latest version is 0.20.2.

bump

[calexandru2018]

Hey all, we've managed to setup this properly, now every time we push a new version to stable, the github code is synced and the tags are also pushed.

@calexandru2018

Can you please add back the tags and releases for repos (at least for the most recent tag/version)?
For example, python-proton-core still has no tags and no releases.

[calexandru2018]

We'll be releasing them (the ones missing and some new updates) next week :)

[calexandru2018]

Tags have been pushed to all projects and will be getting new tags as we release new versions, thank you all for your patience :)

[proletarius101]

@calexandru2018 I found that the tags of https://github.com/ProtonVPN/python-proton-vpn-logger might not be updated

[calexandru2018]

Done @proletarius101 thanks for noticing it

[proletarius101]

Hi @calexandru2018 . The tag in https://github.com/ProtonVPN/python-proton-keyring-linux-secretservice seems to be removed again. Can you please look into it?

[calexandru2018]

@proletarius101 fixed sorry it was an old tag that did not get saved. Everything should be ok now and no other issues with this should be occuring, thanks for raising it up.
