Yep, we realized that yesterday. Current plan is to cut a 4.0.1 tomorrow, to give a bit of time for critical issues to emerge (if they’re going to).

Things will get updated today for our 4.0.2 release.

There are static podman-remote binaries for v4.0.2 now.

I think static builds for podman-remote (client) were supposed to be there, but not for podman (server).

Nope, like @baude explained in a comment on this same issue here, podman-remote (the client) depends on the podman (server), and FCOS (Fedora CoreOS, the distro that’s used on the virtual machine that podman-remote manages) wasn’t updated yet to v4.0.

IMHO what could be released is the podman (server) versions for every distro, but at least on Ubuntu-side like #13302 explains the Kubic repository will not be maintained anymore, so…yeah. It’s a complicated situation.

I don’t think a new issue for “v4.0.1 is also missing static binaries in Release page” would help ?

I don’t think so, but I think it honestly would help if this was clearly announced both on the release notes and on the README of the project, just to set expectations correctly. and avoid these sorts of issues being opened…
