Fix: no tag for the builder image on linux. by ylecuyer · Pull Request #73 · NetBSDfr/smolBSD

ylecuyer · 2026-03-16T21:40:50Z

On NetBSD it fetches directly the image from https://github.com/NetBSDfr/smolBSD/releases/download/latest/build-amd64.img.xz

but on linux it builds it

Atm it builds it with the :latest tag and later on it fails to start qemu
