Correctly pin cosign-verify action in build-image action#281
Merged
Conversation
The build-image action was using branch reference to the previous PR branch when calling the cosign-verify. It was pointed to that because when the actions are reused, the path is evaluated relative to the repo that's using them - so we can't simply use local path here. We've got unfortunately a chicken-egg situation then, so we must always pin the verify action to the previous release.

Hm, yeah so essentially we cannot reuse a action from the same repo while also using version pinning (using version number or hash) 🤔 . A bit unfortunate. Maybe we should consider to split out the cosign-verify action? 🤔
Anyhow, for now, lagging one release behind works.
