Productization

• Security:
• assist with CVE fixes (where possible) and decide which can be done in 3.5, 3.6, future, or nothing to do (rpm issues we don't control). See also https://github.com/redhat-developer/devspaces/blob/devspaces-3-rhel-8/product/manifest/3.3.0/manifest-all.txt
  • 10 for dashboard
  • 3 for code
  • 2 for operator
  • 1 for machine-exec
  • 1 for traefik

Tech Debt:

• CRW-3080 Make Container Images Eligible for Source Containers (ongoing Epic)
  • CRW-3160 vscode :: migrate from pkgs.devel lookaside asset files to cachito w/ yarn [Nick] ... in progress
  • CRW-3336 plugin registry :: Use fetch-artifacts for plugin registry build assets [Sam] ... in progress
  • CRW-3196 devfile registry :: migrate to fetch-artifacts (or commit files directly?) for sources

Che issues:

• CRW-3606 Update to Traefik 2.9.6
• Update GH actions to use Node 16 tasks #21763 [Sam] ... in progress (waiting for PR reviews & merges by code owners)

Some queries for untriaged / unresolved downstream issues:

• No fixversion: project = CRW AND type not in (Epic, "QE Task") AND resolution is null AND fixVersion is EMPTY and labels != "SecurityTracking" ORDER BY created DESC, priority DESC
• Customer cases: project = CRW AND resolution = Unresolved AND fixVersion in (3.4.0.GA,3.5.0.GA,3.6.0.GA) AND labels in (Customer1, Customer2, Customer3, Customer4, Customer, cee_medium, cee_high) ORDER BY priority DESC
• CVEs: project = CRW AND type not in (Epic, "QE Task") AND resolution is null AND fixVersion is EMPTY and labels = "SecurityTracking" ORDER BY created DESC, priority DESC
