Summary
  • For build types other than nightly, the latest directory is only modified if the version is actually newer than the version indicated by the latest/Version file that already exists on R2. This ensures that a patch release for an older minor version won’t ovewrite the latest version.
  • For build types other than nightlies, additional artifact directories will be created based on major and minor versions, enabling the possibility of fetching the latest release of a specific major/minor version.
Test Plan

n/a

Additional Information

@stelfrag This should be included in the v2.12.1 patch release.


Summary by cubic

Improves R2 artifact uploads for non-nightly builds. latest is now only refreshed when the uploaded version is newer than the one already published, and stable releases get artifact copies under major and major.minor directories so a specific release series can be fetched.

  • release and release-candidate builds refresh latest only if the version is newer than the one stored on R2; release candidates compare lower than full releases of the same version.
  • Stable builds also get copies under X and X.Y directories (for example 2 and 2.12); release candidates do not.
  • Nightly and pull request builds continue to always update latest.
  • The upload step syncs each top-level artifact directory, and the workflow passes the event type and build type into the preparation script.

Written for commit 6997070. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Release Artifacts
    • Release builds publish to the stable destination; other builds use the nightly destination.
    • Pull request and nightly builds prepare latest artifacts. Other builds update latest when their version is newer than the published version or no published version is available.
    • Non-release-candidate builds can publish artifacts under major and major.minor version paths when those versions are missing or older.
    • Nightly and stable artifacts are synchronized to their matching destinations.

- For build types other than nightly, the `latest` directory is only
  modified if the version is actually newer than the version indicated
  by the `latest/Version` file that already exists on R2. This ensures
  that a patch release for an older minor version won’t ovewrite the
  latest version.
- For build types other than nightlies, additional artifact directories
  will be created based on major and minor versions, enabling the
  possibility of fetching the latest release of a specific major/minor
  version.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The preparation script uses the event and build type to select R2 artifacts. It compares current and published versions before preparing latest and version aliases. The workflow passes build metadata to the script and syncs artifact directories to nightly or stable destinations.

Changes

Artifact publishing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build metadata and R2 artifact selection
.github/scripts/prepare-artifacts.sh
The script maps release builds to stable and compares major, minor, patch, and release-candidate versions. It checks published latest and version aliases. Pull requests and nightly builds prepare latest artifacts. Other builds prepare latest artifacts when the published version is missing or older, and prepare major and major.minor aliases when those targets are missing or older. Release candidates skip major and major.minor target checks.
Workflow artifact publishing
.github/workflows/build.yml
The workflow passes the event name and dispatch build type to the preparation script. Nightly and stable publishing sync each directory to its matching destination. Each sync exits with status 1 on failure.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 69970

No actionable merge-blocking risk remains in the reviewed artifact preparation and publishing changes.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 69970

Interrupted publication can leave a release channel incomplete, while the new version-only checks can prevent a fresh run from repairing it. This affects reliable delivery of release artifacts, including security updates. Publication remains restricted to the existing release workflow; no new unauthorized publishing path was demonstrated.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: A partial stable publication can upload Version without completing the corresponding latest or major/minor artifact set. Fresh preparation then treats the equal version as already published and omits that directory, leaving the incomplete channel unrepaired. This newly weakens recovery and reliable security-update delivery. Signed manifests and prepublication installer checks do not establish completion of the remote upload; retrying the existing publishing job remains a possible recovery path.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — The changed commands operate on prepared directories under the stable and nightly prefixes of netdata-agent-artifacts. Affected stable mutable targets are latest and the release's major/minor aliases. The credentials' maximum effective bucket or environment authority is not shown, and external consumer reach is unknown.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The reviewed R2 publishing jobs require workflow_dispatch on netdata/netdata with the matching nightly or release input, and depend on artifact verification jobs. PR-triggered runs do not satisfy these publishing gates. The PR does not change those gates or the publisher credential references.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Version selection is a read-then-publish operation, not a destination-wide atomic transition. Different-ref runs can share a destination because concurrency is grouped by ref and event, and publication does not revalidate Version. Concurrent latest downgrade exposure existed before this PR; the new aliases inherit it. A failed sync stops subsequent directories but does not roll back completed writes.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Publish and verify a complete immutable generation before advancing mutable aliases through a destination-scoped monotonic operation. Distinguish upload completion from Version equality so interrupted publication remains repairable without overwriting a newer completed release.

The Manifest file needs to be consistent with the actual directory contents as its contents will be utilized to avoid having to make HEAD requests to confirm the existence of specific files. In addition, the only circumstances when a build should be getting republished involve wanting to fully replace it anyway. Given this, its generally required that old files that do not exist in the new build aren’t left behind.

Protect R2 latest artifacts and add stable release-series paths

🐞 Bug fix ✨ Enhancement 🕐 20-40 Minutes

Grey Divider

AI Description

• Check the published version before replacing non-nightly latest artifacts, protecting newer
 releases.
• Add major- and minor-version artifact paths for stable releases.
• Sync each prepared artifact directory to R2 so omitted latest directories remain untouched.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Guard each release-series alias independently
  • ➕ Prevents an older patch release from replacing a newer patch in its major or minor alias.
  • ➖ Requires additional remote version checks and more publication decision logic.
2. Check versions at publication time
  • ➕ Narrows the interval between reading the published version and writing latest.
  • ➖ Moves artifact-selection logic into the upload jobs and complicates their synchronization steps.

Recommendation: Keep conditional preparation and per-directory sync for this scoped change, but verify the comparison with the repository’s v-prefixed versions before relying on it. Consider independent version guards for series aliases: the current guard applies to latest, not to those paths.

Conditionally prepare latest artifacts and create stable series aliases

• Accepts event and build type, maps release builds to the stable R2 path, and checks the published Version before preparing non-nightly 'latest' artifacts. Stable releases also copy exact-version artifacts into major and minor directories; nightly and pull-request builds continue to prepare 'latest'.

Action required

1. Older patches overwrite latest releases ✓ Resolved
Description
version_compare succeeds when the remote version is older than the candidate, but its caller sets
prepare_latest=0 on success and 1 on failure. With remote v2.12.1, uploading v2.12.0
prepares and uploads latest while v2.12.2 leaves it unchanged, and the PR provides no regression
coverage or reproducible verification for this behavior.
Code

.github/scripts/prepare-artifacts.sh[R131-135]

+        if version_compare "$(cat Version)" "${VERSION}"; then
+            prepare_latest=0
+        else
+            prepare_latest=1
+        fi
Evidence
The comparator returns 0 when its first argument is smaller and 1 when it is larger or equal. The
caller passes the remote version first, then sets prepare_latest=0 on a zero result and 1
otherwise; the later guard creates the latest directory only when that flag is 1, and the stable
upload loop publishes any prepared latest directory. No regression test or concrete verification
accompanies the correction.

## Recommended Fix
Define clearly whether the comparator succeeds when the candidate is newer, and make its caller set `prepare_latest=1` only for that result. Account for the leading `v` in version strings, and add automated cases for older, newer, and equal published versions.

2. Major upgrades trigger invalid comparisons ✓ Resolved
Description
version_compare splits versions into components but passes the leading v in the major component
to Bash arithmetic as 10#v2. Release versions require that prefix, so both major comparisons
produce arithmetic errors and cannot determine the ordering when major versions differ.
Code

.github/scripts/prepare-artifacts.sh[R83-87]

+    read -ra v1 <<< "$1"
+    read -ra v2 <<< "$2"
+
+    if (( 10#${v1[0]} > 10#${v2[0]} )); then return 1; fi
+    if (( 10#${v1[0]} < 10#${v2[0]} )); then return 0; fi
Evidence
The release-preparation script requires vN.N.N, and the current packaging version also starts with
v. Splitting on dots and hyphens leaves that prefix in element zero, which is used directly in
10# arithmetic.

## Issue description
The major-version arithmetic receives a `v`-prefixed token instead of a number, so it cannot compare release majors.
## Fix Focus Areas

## Recommended Fix
Remove and validate the leading `v` before converting version components to numbers. Test versions with different major numbers as well as different minor and patch numbers.

3. Older patches replace series releases ✓ Resolved
Description
prepare-artifacts.sh creates the major and major.minor directories from every stable build without
checking the versions already published under those directories. If v2.11.4 is uploaded after
v2.12.1, the stable upload synchronizes the older artifacts and Version into the major-series
directory even if the separate latest check would have rejected that build.
Code

.github/scripts/prepare-artifacts.sh[R141-144]

+    if [ "${build_type}" != "release-candidate" ]; then
+        echo "::group::Preparing R2 secondary version release artifacts"
+        cp -va "artifacts/r2/${VERSION}" "artifacts/r2/$(echo "${VERSION}" | tr -d 'v' | cut -f 1 -d '.')"
+        cp -va "artifacts/r2/${VERSION}" "artifacts/r2/$(echo "${VERSION}" | tr -d 'v' | cut -f 1,2 -d '.')"
Evidence
The versioned directory contains the current build's Version and manifest before it is copied into
the two series directories. The only remote comparison checks latest/Version, while the stable
publishing loop synchronizes every prepared directory to its corresponding remote directory.

Remediation recommended

4. Network errors can publish old releases ✓ Resolved
Description
prepare-artifacts.sh sets prepare_latest=1 whenever wget fails to retrieve the published
Version, rather than leaving the existing release untouched. A transient lookup failure during an
older patch build therefore prepares latest, which the stable upload loop then synchronizes over
the newer published release.
Code

.github/scripts/prepare-artifacts.sh[R136-139]

+    else
+        echo "::warning::Failed to determine latest published ${build_type} version."
+        prepare_latest=1
+    fi
Evidence
Any unsuccessful wget takes the branch that enables latest. That directory is then generated and
included in the stable publisher's per-directory synchronization.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not publish latest when the version lookup fails.

If the stable/latest/Version request fails during an older-series patch release, this branch prepares that release’s artifacts under latest. The stable publisher then syncs them to stable/latest, replacing the newer artifacts. A later, newer release can restore latest through the normal version check; the inspected flow shows no separate automatic recovery. Set prepare_latest to 0 when the lookup fails.

Suggested fix
     else
         echo "::warning::Failed to determine latest published ${build_type} version."
-        prepare_latest=1
+        prepare_latest=0
     fi

  • With published paths, --spider does not download Version, but both success branches read it from the repository root, so artifact preparation fails. Fetch Version explicitly before those branches.
