Story (Required)

Match the version of Helm in GitOps Operator through upstream_sources.yml with the version in the Argo CD upstream tool-versions.sh file.
https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/blob/master/hack/tool-versions.sh

Background (Required)

We need to update the tools(Helm, Kustomize) versions up-to-date to the versions used in the upstream Argo CD to support all the features.

Out of scope

Any changes to the upstream Argo CD

Approach (Required)

There are two ways to approach this.

Approach-1: If our UBI image supports this required version of Helm that you are looking for, through dnf repos,  add the dnf install command in Dockerfile.
- Also remove the entry for Helm in upstream_sources.yml
https://gitlab.cee.redhat.com/gitops-cpaas-midstream/gitops-midstream-repos/-/blob/gitops-1.8-rhel-8/upstream_sources.yaml#L39
- Remove any unwanted commands for helm installation in the Dockerfile
_https://gitlab.cee.redhat.com/gitops-cpaas-midstream/gitops-midstream-repos/-/blob/gitops-1.8-rhel-8/distgit/containers/openshift-gitops-argocd/Dockerfile.in#L68_

Approach-2: If step-1 is not feasible, we need to build the required version of Helm from source. We maintain a midstream repo for Helm that can be used in these cases.
https://github.com/rh-gitops-midstream/helm
- Update the above repo with new version by creating a new branch.
