Missing cmctl and kubectl-cert_manager binaries in GitHub releases

[abhay-krishna]

Describe the bug:

Hello, we have an automation that depends on the cmctl binaries from the cert-manager Github releases, which broke when it tried to get the v1.14.5 binaries from Github. After checking the releases page, I found that the GitHub release assets corresponding to the most recent cycle of cert-manager releases (v1.12.10, v1.13.6, v1.14.5 and v1.15.0-alpha.0) don't include any of the release binaries, and had only 4 assets in total.. This is a change of behavior from the previous releases which had a total of 22 assets.

Expected behaviour:

GitHub releases should include cert-manager binaries as they were in the past.

Just noticed the same thing, looks like the CLI has been moved to it's own repository now to decouple it's releases from cert-manager proper.

If you check the docs there are updated directions for installing from the new repository.

Thanks for reporting this! It does seem like a bug for these to be missing from the latest 1.12.x, 1.13.x and 1.14.x releases.

It's definitely worth saying that they will disappear from 1.15.x because as @lachlan-smith mentioned cmctl moved to its own repo.

I'll look into this!

@inteon will manually upload the binaries to the 3 affected releases today, and cert-manager/release#179 should fix this so the next release doesn't have the same problem!

Done. All binaries should have been uploaded.

Thanks Tim, looks good! I'll close this issue now. Sorry again @abhay-krishna !
