How do I restrict a Concourse `github-release` resource to a major version

Question

The github release resource allows us to set a version, but as far as I can tell, that just sets a floor on the version we'll accept: it will give us anything newer than that version.

We're looking for a way to accept versions based on semver positions. In our case, we want to ensure we don't automatically accept a major revision bump.

For example, we want the latest 4.x.x, but we don't want 5.anything.

We can achieve a similar effect using the git resource's tag_filter Source Configuration. We'd like a similar facility in github-release resource.

Answer 1

The github-release resource doesn't currently support this type of filtering based on tag versions.

Could you please submit an issue on the resource for this?
