Summary

This task captures the work necessary to automate the creation of new prow configurations for each component in the pipeline and backplane-pipeline manifests based on the previous release's existing configuration. This includes carrying out best-effort modifications to update the prior versions configuration to match the new target release.

Outputs

A Tekton task that, when armed with the correct access credentials, will take his input a target source release, a target new release version, and a source manifest or manifest segment and automatically generate updated prow configurations based on the source release's configuration. The newly generated prow configuration should be modified in a best effort fashion to target the new release version without modifying critical function from the previous configuration.

This tool should automatically generate a pull request to the openshift/release repository for each component, manifest, or a set of components as input to the task at the discretion of the implementer.

This task should be formatted in such a way that it can be portably added to a larger pipeline and PipelineRun to cut over a new release stream automatically.
