I can spin up a github issue but wanted to bring it up here. Would it make sense to put the actual osquery version in the Info.plist of the app bundle? Currently there isn’t one. This would make it very easy for tools to make sure the correct osquery version is installed without jumping through extra hoops or shelling out to osquery itself.
Copy code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "<http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd>">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
    <string>osqueryd</string>
    <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
    <string>io.osquery.agent</string>
    <key>CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion</key>
    <string>6.0</string>
    <key>CFBundleName</key>
    <string>osqueryd</string>
    <key>CFBundlePackageType</key>
    <string>APPL</string>
</dict>
</plist

That's a great idea! osquery packaging is a little different since we use CMake + CPack across platforms, so it's not super straightforward, but I will try to chew on it
Though we also have 
osquery_info
table, which has the version info (just fyi in case you missed that), but as you said, would require a query

cool, I was just looking through the repo to see how the pkg gets built and you are right it is a tad tricky haha
CFBundleVersion
or 
CFBundleShortVersionString
would work great in the 
Info.plist
👍 2

tad is a bit of an understatement haha! But we have really overhauled it, and this works cross platform, and it's mostly automated now!

If I get on a soapbox…. 1. We should also create distribution packages 2. Whicih will need metadata set 3. because the apple tooling strips the title out when it coverts package formats.

I just ran across this myself, would it make sense to add a directive to 
build_x86.yml
, to stick the version in the Info.plist file there? I'd submit a PR if I can make sure I'm understanding this correctly, I'm not very familiar with GitHub Actions

GitHub actions are kinda like yaml annotated shell scripts. If you see an obvious looking command, you're probably looking in the right place.

Sure, it's more enviroment/context type stuff I'm puzzling through, like this 
ccache
bit
I'll give it a shot and see what happens 🤷

If you point me at a line, I can tell you what it does. Or the github docs are okay.
But each “step” is like a shell script (or single command) and they’re run mostly in series.

We're renaming that one to 
hosted_runners.yml
and making quite a few changes in this PR just FYI https://github.com/osquery/osquery/pull/7330/files#diff-9f96c7398750f97ef9c6b9389a79c9282ceac7bfc98f27404473d88d03b9b00d

The change I'm proposing is pretty minor, seems like it would slot in just as well somewhere in the proposed change to 
hosted_runners.yml
