Description

We are happy to answer your questions about the code or discuss technical ideas.

Please complete the following checklist (by adding [x]):

  • I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates
  • This isn't a feature request
  • This is not a report about my app not working as expected

It seems like every proton-inbox-desktop@version git tag was deleted. This created an issue for users on Arch Linux using the AUR package proton-mail, because it downloaded the source code using the tarball that GitHub generates for all tags. Since the tag was deleted, the tarball returned a 404.

To Reproduce:
curl -L https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClients/archive/refs/tags/proton-inbox-desktop@1.9.1.tar.gz

observe that 404: Not Found is returned.

Other projects, for example proton-pass, still have their git tags, so:
curl -L https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClients/archive/refs/tags/proton-pass@1.32.9.tar.gz
works as expected.

Expected Behavior: The git tags for all projects and their release versions (especially proton-inbox-desktop@1.9.1) in the monorepo continue to exist so we can use the tarball to retrieve the latest stable release.

Is this something you can do?

Research direction

Start by checking the repository refs for the missing proton-inbox-desktop@1.9.1 tag and compare them with the retained proton-pass tags. The work is done when the relevant stable-release tags exist and the GitHub archive URL in the report returns the source tarball instead of 404.
