@nickboldt I think that the Che operator release is now owned by @tolusha.
@tolusha can you confirm ?

[tolusha]

@davidfestal Sure

[nickboldt]

Che operator release is now owned by @tolusha.

Fixed in the above table, and here's a PR to update the template #16037 so it's correct for 7.10.

[tolusha]

@mkuznyetsov let me know when che is released

[nickboldt]

Che 7.9.0 plugin registry re-released.

[tolusha]

chectl has been released.

[nickboldt]

how is chectl done but che operator not?

[nickboldt]

also, where does the che-operator release build run? localhost ? ci-centos?

[tolusha]

che-operator has been released as well.

The release process is run on localhost only.
The only reason is that the release script is quite complicated and not tested enough.
Every release we improve it and eventually it will be run on ci-centos (I believe )

[nickboldt]

👍 as long as you're iterating towards a process that can be run on a shared host, I'm happy :D
