Building hypershift: version output always contains "unknown"

[johanneskastl]

I am trying to package hypershift for openSUSE, but although the executable and the completion files seem to be fine (have not tested actual functionality), I cannot get it to display the version properly.

$ hypershift version
openshift/hypershift: <unknown>. Latest supported OCP: 4.16.0

Seems like the information should be coming from the buildinfo, not sure if that is just not active in my builds or just being removed for some reason.

Any ideas (other than patching pkg/version/version.go to hardcode the version?

The build call looks like this:

CGO_ENABLED=1 go build \                                                                                                                                                                                          
   -mod=vendor \                                                                                                                                                                                                  
   -buildmode=pie \                                                                                                                                                                                               
   -gcflags=all='-N -l' \                                                                                                                                                                                         
   -o bin/%{name} main.go

No ideas, anyone?
