Release status

In series, the following will be released via che-release:

• che-theia, che-machine-exec, che-devfile registry,
• che-plugin-registry (once che-theia and machine-exec are done)
• che-parent, che-dashboard, che-workspace-loader, and che (server assembly), including release to Maven Central
• che-operator

Then, these steps will be done, which still require some manual intervention (PR verification is not yet automated):

• generation of OperatorHub PRs
• chectl

• che-theia, che-machine-exec, che-devfile-registry, che-plugin-registry
• che-parent, che-dashboard, che-workspace-loader, che
• che-operator (depends on all of the above)
• chectl (depends on che-operator)
• Che community operator PRs (depends on che-operator)

If this is a .0 release:

• send reminder to TLs to triage unresolved issues
• complete current milestone
  • move incomplete deferred issues to backlog
  • move incomplete WIP issues to next milestone
  • close completed issues
  • close milestone

after transitioning to GH actions, now having some issues with gpg key usage during release of che-server

[ibuziuk]

@mkuznyetsov @nickboldt are the maven artifacts available on the central? is the release status correctly reflected in the issue?

[mkuznyetsov]

@ibuziuk maven artifacts should be available, in fact the release is complete on our side, only waiting for community operator approval

[ibuziuk]

@mkuznyetsov Currently I can not build Hosted Che against 7.24.0 - Could not find artifact org.eclipse.che:che-parent:pom:7.24.0

[mkuznyetsov]

@ibuziuk the root artifact has been renamed to che-server
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.eclipse.che/che-server

[ibuziuk]

@mkuznyetsov hmmm.. missed it somehow, could you clarify why this was done and how was it announced?

[mkuznyetsov]

@ibuziuk this looks like PR where it was done
#18639

as for announcements, I can't tell since I wasn't aware of it too.

[ibuziuk]

@skabashnyuk can you shed some light on it ? ;-)

[nickboldt]

FWIW, I was surprised by the change and had to work around it in crw root pom too. :)

Note too that the evil license checker plugin may break your build if your copyright dates are not up to date. That was also a fun change. :|
