Finding out the latest published version of a package?

[kastl-ars]

Dear all,

I am using WolfiOS to build some container images, which is really nice using apko.

One thing I did not solve properly: How do I find out the latest published version of a package during building the image with e.g. the apko GitHub action?

Can I just look at the main branch and check the version inside the package's definition, e.g.

package:
  name: apko
  version: "0.25.3"

for apko ?

Or is there some delay between merging things to main and the build being finished and the package published?

There is a Github Action to find the latest release of a repository, which is what I am currently using as a workaround. But just because apko releases a new version does not mean the WolfiOS package of apko is available in that version...

Maybe someone has ideas on how to solve this.

Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards,
Johannes
