🌱 fix(release) Issues faced with invalid latest tag after changes in goreleaser

[camilamacedo86]

The Docker build command was generating malformed tags where the image repository was being duplicated in the tag field:

• ❌ quay.io/operator-framework/opm:quay.io/operator-framework/opm:latest
• ✅ quay.io/operator-framework/opm:latest (expected)

Full run: https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-registry/actions/runs/21664023146/job/62457874146

Root Cause

When the project migrated to GoReleaser v2.12 (PR #1891, commit 4e96664), the way Docker image tags are constructed changed:

GoReleaser v1 behavior:

• Required full image references in tag variables
• Example: LATEST_IMAGE_OR_EMPTY=quay.io/operator-framework/opm:latest

GoReleaser v2 behavior:

• Automatically combines images field with tags field
• Tag variables should only contain the tag portion
• Example: LATEST_IMAGE_OR_EMPTY=latest

The Makefile was still using the v1 format, causing GoReleaser v2 to combine:

• Image: quay.io/operator-framework/opm
• Tag: quay.io/operator-framework/opm:latest
• Result: quay.io/operator-framework/opm:quay.io/operator-framework/opm:latest ❌

Solution

Updated the Makefile to export only tag names (without the image repository) in:

1. LATEST_IMAGE_OR_EMPTY variable (line 145)

   • Changed from: echo "$(OPM_IMAGE_REPO):latest"
   • Changed to: echo "latest"

2. tagged-or-empty function (line 176)

   • Changed from: echo "$(OPM_IMAGE_REPO):$(1)"
   • Changed to: echo "$(1)"

This ensures GoReleaser v2 correctly combines the image repository with tag names to produce valid Docker tags.
