Conversation

Can you add some more context/commentary about your changes? (Specifically around the Right now, we primarily use Dependabot to notify us of vulnerable packages. What does this PR enable? Automatic package updates? |

@bnussman-akamai Dependabot has now ability to update actions to the latest available version. This configuration runs once in a week and will create a pull request to update actions to latest available versions in a single PR. Some other Linode projects are also using it Ref 1 - https://github.com/linode/linode-cli/blob/dev/.github/dependabot.yml#L12 |

@sd416 Pinning guaranties we're working with a secure version of a package (well, until it's not I guess). While getting the latest version has benefits, can't it also introduce security problems on its own? Not arguing the approach, just wanted to confirm this is a desirable outcome. |
|
You are 100% right about both the problems and benefits of this approach. Luckily for us, all it does is generate a pull request. Whether to merge it or not, it's still in your hands. Also FYI, it only updates the github action packages such as upload-artifact@v4, actions/checkout@v4 and does not update any actual dependency inside the code. |

@sd416 this makes thanks, thx for clarifying. Good to go my end |
