@ibuziuk
Should I manage release of chectl in the future?

[ibuziuk]

@tolusha if you are comfortable with it you can release it even this time

[ibuziuk]

@nickboldt why have you checked devfile-registry / machine-exec bits if those have not been released yet ?

what about the operator ? @tolusha Would you like us to sync and proceed to knowledge transfer about the operator release ?

[tolusha]

@davidfestal sure

@davidfestal @tolusha would be great if you could also take care of the RELEASE.md for operator as part of the KT - #15506 ;-)

[ibuziuk]

@nickboldt I changed the owner of the devfile-registry since you have already started the release process for this component

@davidfestal @tolusha would be great if you could also take care of the RELEASE.md for operator as part of the KT - #15506 ;-)

I was also thinking that writing the Release.md file together with @tolusha could be a way to transfer operator release knowledge.

Yep, sounds good @ibuziuk. You wanted me to own one, and now I have two. :D #exceedExpectations :D

And good point about the checkbox for the actual released bits. it's in progress in https://ci.centos.org/job/devtools-che-devfile-registry-release/33/console now.

BTW for plugin reg, Eric or Sopot might take that one over for next time.

[nickboldt]

so what's the status for che, che-operator and chectl? Release day was Wed, ... and now it's almost Friday. :( Does it normally take this long to churn out a release?

[dmytro-ndp]

As for now there is Eclipse Che release branch 7.7.x created, as well as next images:

• eclipse/che-server:rc
• eclipse/che-keycloak:rc
• quay.io/eclipse/che-devfile-registry:7.7.0
• quay.io/eclipse/che-plugin-registry:7.7.0
• eclipse/che-init-plugin-broker:v0.24
• quay.io/eclipse/che-theia-endpoint-runtime-binary:7.7.0
• quay.io/eclipse/che-machine-exec:7.7.0
• quay.io/eclipse/che-theia:7.7.0
• eclipse/che-postgres:7.7.0

Plus bunch of plugin images, including:

• quay.io/eclipse/che-sidecar-java:8-0cfbacb
• quay.io/eclipse/che-sidecar-java:11-f76ca45
• quay.io/eclipse/che-jwtproxy:dbd0578
  ...

E2E tests execution against Eclipse Che pre-release 7.7.0.RC, eclipse/che-operator:nightly and chectl:next didn't show critical/blocker issues:

• Dashboard tests on OKD 3.9;
• Happy path, Java Maven / Vert.x devfile tests on minikube 1.1.1;
• Java Maven / Vert.x devfile tests on OSIO staging.

Next step is to release next artifacts:

• Eclipse Che Server 7.7.0
• Eclipse Che Keycloak 7.7.0
• Eclipse Che Operator 7.7.0
• chectl:7.7.0

@nickboldt, as usually we did it in one day or day with half, but at the moment a lot of PTO and holidays

[tolusha]

@ibuziuk
I can start releasing chectl accordingly to the RELEASE.md or should I wait for something?

[ibuziuk]

@tolusha 👍 for starting the chectl

[tolusha]

chectl has been released.
7.7.0 binaries are available in the stable channel.
