EPIC Goal

What are we trying to solve here?

Background/Feature Origin

As seen in RHIDP-2931 and https://github.com/redhat-developer/rhdh-chart/pull/29, changes made to the main branch of https://github.com/redhat-developer/rhdh-chart/ are picked up immediately by chart publishing with https://gitlab.cee.redhat.com/rhidp/rhdh/-/tree/rhdh-1-rhel-9/build/helm/

Why is this important?

This is a problem because breaking changes in 1.3 shouldn't land in 1.2 unless we specificlaly want that.

Dependencies (internal and external)

We depend on 3 charts:

• bitnami, currently pinned to 2.14.1
• backstage, currently pinned t o 1.9.1 (1.9.5 is latest)
• rhdh-chart, using the latest available (currently 2.16.3)

dependencies:
  - name: common
    repository: https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
    tags:
      - bitnami-common
    version: "2.14.1"
  - name: backstage
    repository: https://backstage.github.io/charts
    version: "1.9.1"
    alias: upstream
home: https://redhat-developer.github.io/rhdh-chart/
...
kubeVersion: ">= 1.25.0-0"
sources:
  - https://github.com/redhat-developer/rhdh-chart
  - https://github.com/janus-idp/backstage-showcase
# This is the chart version. This version number should be incremented each time you make changes
# to the chart and its templates, including the app version.
# Versions are expected to follow Semantic Versioning (https://semver.org/)
version: 2.16.3

Acceptance Criteria

We need to figure out:

• how to track latest bitnami and backstage charts, not be pinned to old versions
• how to publish rhdh-chart versions for 1.2.x and main in parallel (while respecting semver)
• how to update the build/helm/prepare.sh script to pull in the correct branches from rhdh-chart
