`go install` is the preferred way for installing go binaries starting
from the minimum supported Go version for VictoriaMetrics - Go1.18 -
see https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.18#go-command
The automated push of release tags to Github require specifying the remote repository name
when doing `git push <remote-repo-name> v1.xx.y`.
The remote repository name can differ in different environments,
so it cannot be put into Makefile rule.
TODO: create a Makefile rule, which generates standard remote names for public
and private repositories in Git, so `git push` for release tags could be automated then.
The `-mod=vendor` is automatically set when there is a `vendor` directory
starting from Go1.14 - see https://go.dev/doc/go1.14#go-command
Since the minimum supported Go version for VictoriaMetrics is Go1.17,
then the `-mod=vendor` option is no longer needed.
* deployment/docker/Makefile: added docker-scan
docker-scan based on native 'docker scan' function that use snyk.io, see https://docs.docker.com/engine/scan/
* set to call 'docker-scan after release binaries but before publishing
Just like the existing infrastructure for `BUILDINFO_TAG`, this can ease the production of [reproducible builds](https://wiki.freebsd.org/ReproducibleBuilds).
(e.g. in FreeBSD the date the port was committed is used at build time, not the actual build time, so that an identical port produced at different times produces an identical executable)
The major change is adding `sort` directive to docs. For those docs which are copied
from internal packages `sort` is added via makefile command. For the rest it is added
manually since they're updated manually as well.
The rest of changes is connected with markdown formatting. For example, changing headers
in some files (`##` => `#`) makes navigation on .github.io to look better. This especially
useful for `changelog` docs.
Table of contents for `vmctl` is dropped, since we already have it autogenerated on .github.io.
No link changes expected. The corresponding PR to `cluster` branch will be made in follow-up PR.
The archive contains the following executables for Windows:
* vmagent
* vmalert
* vmauth
* vmctl
Other components - vmbackup, vmrestore, victoria-metrics - aren't supported for Windows yet
It is better developing vmctl tool in VictoriaMetrics repository, so it could be released
together with the rest of vmutils tools such as vmalert, vmagent, vmbackup, vmrestore and vmauth.
There are subtle differences between these binaries in cluster branch from binaries in single-node branch
such as missing `-httpAuth.*` command-line flags. These differences introduce confusion to users,
so let's stop building these binaries from cluster version.
This is a preparation for Go 1.16, which deprecates `go get` for installing binaries.
See https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.16#go-command :
go install, with or without a version suffix (as described above), is now the recommended way
to build and install packages in module mode. go get should be used with the -d flag to adjust
the current module's dependencies without building packages, and use of go get to build and install
packages is deprecated. In a future release, the -d flag will always be enabled.
