Linux amd64 release binary depends on `glibc` version `2.32`

[svasek]

Hello,
The release binary for linux_amd64 depends on glibc version 2.32.
This prevent us to run it on Linux distros older then Ubuntu-22.04, RHEL-9, etc.
When we run it we get the error message: actions-sync: /lib64/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by actions-sync)

There is a lot of productions systems running older LTS Linux distributions.
Could you please compile your release binary for older Linux distros?

I also have this issue with self-hosted github action runners in GHES that use LTS 20.04 images.

@svasek @bhundven Thanks for filing an issue, could you let us know what version of actions-sync you both are using? I suspect the issue started in https://github.com/actions/actions-sync/releases/tag/v202401161759 when we upgraded the project to Go 1.21. Specifically, I think it's related to golang/go#58550.

I need to look at the source a bit deeper, but I don't think we have any CGO dependencies. We can look into explicitly setting CGO_ENABLED=0 in our CI build and see if that resolves the issue.

In the meantime, can you revert to the previous release https://github.com/actions/actions-sync/releases/tag/v202303192358 and see if that resolves your issue?

Using that release does work, but I won't get the latest release with #107.

Hi, we use v202303192358 which is the last one which works on Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.9.
It seems the issue was introduced in the release v202401161759.

Apologies for the delay on this. I've created #127 which should resolve the issue. I'll post another reply once we've created a new release so you can test on your systems.

I've created a new release https://github.com/actions/actions-sync/releases/tag/v202404231422. I verified that the binary now works by running actions-sync sync in a workflow that uses a ubuntu-20.04 hosted runner.

@svasek @bhundven Can you pull this release and verify that it works for you as well? Note that the names of the binary changed as we needed to update the .goreleaser.yml to be more explicit. Hopefully that didn't break any automation you had previously set up

Hi @shawnHartsell,
I can confirm the release v202404231422 works on Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.9 with GNU libc 2.28.

Thank you for taking care of this issue.
