Summary
README.md:39told a newcomer togh release download v0.10.0— three releases behind. Theparagraph is about
SHA256SUMSbeing published from v0.10.0, so nothing was false; thecopyable line just installed an old binary, and would be wrong again after every release.
The fix the issue proposed does not work, which running it before writing it down is the
only reason this PR knows:
So the tagless form must name assets — and once it does,
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMSfails on thearchitecture that was not downloaded.
--ignore-missingis required, and was checked not toweaken the verification:
SHA256SUMS: no file was verified→ exit 1shellf-linux-amd64: FAILED→ exit 1shellf-linux-amd64: OK→ exit 0Test plan
The snippet was run as written, against the live release:
grep -nE 'v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+' README.mdreturns only the sentence naming v0.10.0 as thefirst release carrying
SHA256SUMS— a fact about history, which does not drift.It also downloads one architecture instead of both, which the tagged form did not.
Closes #647
