llama.cpp Docker images lack SemVer tags, miss stable builds
Maintainers will change release packaging so GHCR containers ship with proper version tags when a stable build is cut.
Georgi Gerganov has called out gaps in how llama.cpp publishes container images to GitHub Container Registry: there are no semantic version tags, and not every stable release gets an image at all.
GHCR currently exposes only build-number tags. Anyone who wants a known release such as 0.3.0 must first discover the matching build identifier and hope an image exists. Images are produced on a daily cron, so release commits can fall through the cracks. The 0.3.0 line, tied to build b10621, had no published container.
The project plans to tie image builds to designated releases so stable versions always get published images, and to create the release tag only after those containers succeed. Manual workflow runs can already target a chosen tag rather than tip of master. Gerganov said he would fold the change into the next ggml sync and release.
