Apparent release packaging error for odin-ubuntu-amd64-dev-2024-03.zip

[jgaines]

Context

The latest odin-ubuntu-amd64-dev-2024-03.zip release file appears to have been packaged wrong. The contents of the zip file are another zip file named dist.zip

I'm using mise (formerly rtx) which uses the asdf plugin to install Odin. The current dev-2024-03 version is not installable with mise or asdf because the packaging of this version doesn't match the expected directory structure.

❯ mise x odin@dev-2024-02 -- odin report

Expected Behavior

The prior release version zip file contained the correct internal structure:

❯ unzip -l odin-ubuntu-amd64-dev-2024-02.zip

Current Behavior

The latest release zip contains just a dist.zip file:

❯ unzip -l odin-ubuntu-amd64-dev-2024-03.zip
Archive:  odin-ubuntu-amd64-dev-2024-03.zip
  Length      Date    Time    Name
---------  ---------- -----   ----
 69712986  2024-03-04 12:21   dist.zip
---------                     -------
 69712986                     1 file

Extracting the dist.zip appears as though it might have the correct file, but there's yet another layer of directory in the zip:

❯ unzip -l dist.zip | head
Archive:  dist.zip
  Length      Date    Time    Name

        0  2024-03-04 07:21   dist/

I agree the indirections aren't great.

The goal of this change was the release binary keeping executable permissions after downloading and unzipping it. See actions/upload-artifact#38

For some reason the artifact uploading action does not support this, so you need to zip the artifact yourself, and then we now see that the releases also zip it up again unfortunately.

I have already put in a PR to the asdf plugin to fix the issue (unzip again). jtakakura/asdf-odin#2

I think this can be closed, there isn't anything to be done here anymore, the releases are just packaged a bit differently now, and the third-party automated things like setup-odin and asdf-odin have already been updated to handle it correctly.
