Action Summary

The OpenTelemetry Distribution Builder is a tool for creating custom OpenTelemetry Collector distributions using manifest files. It automates the process of building multi-platform binaries, generating installation packages, and managing versioned releases, simplifying the challenges of custom collector distribution. With features like GitHub Actions integration, platform-specific builds, and multi-format packaging, it enables efficient CI/CD workflows and streamlines OpenTelemetry distribution management.

Release notes

Features

  • BYOC compatibility — Restructured bindplane_components.yaml to a minimal BYOC component set
  • --bindplane-version CLI arg — New -b flag to override the Bindplane component version from CLI and shell scripts
  • Core/contrib version split — Provider modules now correctly use core v1.x versioning while all other components use contrib v0.x, fixing build failures with OTel 0.140.0+
  • Manifest kept by default — --from-config builds now include the generated manifest in artifacts
  • Sample OpAMP config — Added supervisor_config.yaml template for Bindplane OpAMP setup
  • core field in versions.yaml — All 28 supported OTel versions now map to their corresponding core version

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed provider modules using wrong version (v0.x instead of v1.x) causing unknown revision build errors
  • Fixed Go version for OTel 0.140.0+ (bumped from 1.24.0 to 1.24.11, required by bindplaneextension)
  • Fixed replaces format crash in manifest generator (now handles plain strings)
  • Fixed connectors not being merged from Bindplane components into generated manifests
