Current Situation:
- All component versions are defined in variables.env
- In order to update versions, commit hashes need to updated manually
- This is a error prone, time consuming, manual process
Goal:
- Find out how to update the versions of locked upstream components
- Make updating upstream versions easy, fast and safe
Acceptance Criteria:
- Upstream component versions can be easily updated (within a REL branch).
- Upstream component versions can be easily updated on main/master branches of components.
- Docker base image versions can easily be updated.
[optional] Notes:
- none to far
[optional] Open Questions:
- does dockers build cache "see" env var changes to flush the build cache
