renovate: Fix ignoring gh-aw managed actions - #277
Merged

Conversation
The rule added in bootc-dev#269 to disable updates in gh-aw managed workflow files (.github/workflows/*.lock.yml) had no effect: Renovate applies matching packageRules in order with later rules winning, and the "GitHub Actions" group rule later in the list sets "enabled": true, re-enabling those deps. As a result Renovate kept bumping github/gh-aw-actions in the compiled lock files, e.g. bootc-dev/bootc#2478 (comment) Move the rule to the end of packageRules so it takes precedence, and additionally disable github/gh-aw-actions everywhere, since its versions are managed by the gh-aw compiler, per https://github.github.com/gh-aw/reference/dependabot/#compiler-managed-gh-aw-actions-ignore-rule Verified with a local Renovate dry run against bootc: before this change gh-aw-actions in *.lock.yml got an update to v0.91.1, after it they are reported as disabled while other actions still update.

matching packageRules in order with later rules winning, and the
"GitHub Actions" group rule later in the list sets "enabled": true,
re-enabling those deps. As a result Renovate kept bumping

Move the rule to the end of packageRules so it takes precedence, and
additionally disable github/gh-aw-actions everywhere, since its
versions are managed by the gh-aw compiler, per
https://github.github.com/gh-aw/reference/dependabot/#compiler-managed-gh-aw-actions-ignore-rule
Verified with a local Renovate dry run against bootc: before this
change gh-aw-actions in *.lock.yml got an update to v0.91.1, after
it they are reported as disabled while other actions still update.
