Push draft/beta packages to another (non primary) repo

[edvgui]

The primary repo for all containerlab releases now contains an rc release:

curl -s https://netdevops.fury.site/yum/repodata/primary.xml  | grep -e "-rc"
    <location href="files/ver_It62Q/containerlab_0.60.0-rc1_linux_arm64.rpm"/>
    <location href="files/ver_b1oXz/containerlab_0.60.0-rc1_linux_amd64.rpm"/>

Is this intentional?

what problem do you see with this? That it is installed by default when no version is provided with apt/yum install?

the install scripts will not pick up this version, since they use the git tag to figure out what is the released version vs the draft

[edvgui]

We use dnf-automatic to install updates automatically in the lab, so we are always using the latest release, with upgrade type default. I don't know if we can filter out some releases based on the git tag with this tool.

To be honest, I don't know what is the standard for such yum repos, but I would have expected rc releases to be available in another repo than the one used for stable releases.

[hellt]

yeah it is a good idea. Not available today, though, for the containerlab apt/yum repos

will rename this to reflect the feature request nature better
