Upgrade to New Version?

[hadfiiw]

I feel like an idiot asking this but to go from V8 to V9 do I really just have to update the lines in my main.yaml file from...

- uses: actions/checkout@v6
  uses: burnett01/rsync-deployments@v8

...to...

- uses: actions/checkout@v7
  uses: burnett01/rsync-deployments@v9

???

(if that is true, I have a follow up question...)

@hadfiiw hi Ian, yes you just have to change v8 to v9. There aren't any breaking changes either.
The reason v9 (originally 9.0.0, now 9.0.1) was introduced is due to the huge amount of CVE fixes that went into Alpine & Rsync via their respective maintainer.

You still have time to upgrade though, since v8 (currently 8.0.5) is still being supported until Apr. 2027. However, if the latest security fixes are a top priority then v9 is the way to go.

Awesome, thanks! Can I turn this into a feature request then? Looking for a way to always use the latest version without having to modify the main.yaml file. Something like...

• uses: actions/checkout@latest
  uses: burnett01/rsync-deployments@latest

...that way when you push a new version, it auto uses the latest version without me having to update my main.yaml file?

I am not saying it has to work exactly like that (just throwing out an example). End goal is to use some value so I always use the latest version without having to modify the main.yaml file each time. But if I wanted to use a specific version, for some reason, then I can hard code it back to "@v7" or "@v8" or "@v9" etc.

That is a great idea, Ian!

I will add this new tag within the next days and will inform you/others about it :)

Thanks!
