Canary builds are not published

[kichristensen]

Describe the bug

The website, https://porter.sh/docs/getting-started/install-porter/#canary, describes how to download the canary build, but the canary build has not been uipdate for a very long time, https://github.com/getporter/porter/releases/tag/canary.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install the canary release
2. Run this porter command porter version
3. See that version v1.0.0-73-g43fa0c5f is installed and that the mixin installation fails

Expected behavior

The canary release should be install correctly in the version produced by the main branch or the documentation should not mention how to download the canary build

🤔 Is the mixin feed not being updated for canary either? I wonder if the github workflow needs the same update as you did for primary releases

[kichristensen]

@schristoff I have looked a little at this issue. It seems to be a combination of two things, but I can only verify one of them.

1. The porter-canary pipeline always fails because of missing inputs when triggered by a push to main. This is pretty easy to fix.
2. It looks like that when the pipelines was running in Azure Devops that something updated the Git tag canary, see https://dev.azure.com/getporter/porter/_build/results?buildId=8747&view=logs&j=8561663e-1bfb-5abd-6b97-f5ad2d809477&t=2af5fe51-7771-5e5d-91a7-c278b90bd4a2&l=97. I cannot find any trace of the output in any mage files or similar, and it looks like it is important that the canary tag is updated in order for the canary build to be published

[kichristensen]

Just found the code the updates the tag in the magefiles. Then I think the solution should be to get the pipeline to run correctly. I will create a PR for that soon

Reopened as the canary build is still not published correctly
