[Feature]: Distribute as kubectl plugin via krew

[dirien]

Hi,

just wanted to preflight the idea to create run-job as kubectl plugin and distribute it via krew?

What are your thoughts?

[alexellis]

Hi @dirien would you be willing to do the work for it? What's required?

Note: it is available via arkade get and my brew taps

[dirien]

Hi @alexellis, yes can do!

At the end, it will be adding the plugin-manifest add submitting initial to the krew repo.

Later we can use the krew-release-bot to automate the process to update the krew-index

[alexellis]

Does it require different naming for the binaries?

[dirien]

For me it looks fine, according the krew guidelines -> https://krew.sigs.k8s.io/docs/developer-guide/develop/naming-guide/

@dirien i would also like to work with you to make that plug-in possible

[alexellis]

I'm not sure that @dirien is working on this. Let's close the issue as inactive?

[Abhicodeitout]

@alexellis if you are working on something related to kubernetes go and docker i will love to contribute

[dirien]

Hi @alexellis,

I wanted to give you feedback, but some event interfered. The situation is, that Krew plugins must be packaged as .zip or .tar.gz archives.

run-job is nor provided as .zip or .tar.gz archive and I am not sure If you are keen to change this.

Let me know, what you think

[alexellis]

If you'd like to contribute a PR to also distribute the binary in that format, I'm OK with that.
