Description

@afbjorklund

Currently we truncate the filenames, to make it "easier" for users:

We should stop doing this, and use the real filenames instead.

  • minikube_1.6.2-0_amd64.deb
  • minikube-1.6.2-0.x86_64.rpm

This will make things less weird, when we support additional architectures...

  • minikube_1.6.2-0_arm64.deb
  • minikube-1.6.2-0.aarch64.rpm

For the raw minikube binary, we already include "-linux-amd64" in the filename.


The release is kept as 0, in case any distributions start packaging minikube...

And we still need to provide a real repository (apt, yum) for the vendor packages.

It's not like anyone wants to look after versions and architectures, but instead do:

  • sudo apt install minikube

  • sudo yum install minikube
