Hey @pekfi, in order to give us an idea of priority, can you let us know the impact of this specific release being missing? I'm not saying it's expected, but I'm wondering if this is something you casually noticed and wanted to point out, or if it's actively blocking you. Thanks!

[pekfi]

Hi @pipejakob, I would like to update 1.6.X to greater then 1.6.7 asap. This is a requirement of my customer. I do not want to update to 1.7.X at the moment. I found the binaries in the tarball of kubernetes v.1.6.9, why is it not released on the kubernetes.repo ? Thanks Peter

Given the vulnerability in DNSMasq which has been fixed in 1.5.8, 1.6.11, 1.7.7, and 1.8.0, I hope that Debian and RPM packages for those versions will be published soon.

[lareeth]

What's the expected process to upgrade to the latest version of 1.5, 1.6 or 1.7 if these rpms are not available? This is blocking us from upgrading, as we choose the rpm version when provisioning a server, and we cant provision newer than 1.6.7.

@wojtek-t I heard that you helped with getting RPMs pushed for 1.7. What's the process here?

Looks like this issue is related to #455

[enisoc]

I've pushed packages for the latest 1.6 patch release, 1.6.12. I also pushed the latest 1.7.10, and am working on 1.8.2.

This is still a time-consuming manual process, but we are working on adding some automation to help reduce the delay from release to deb/rpm packages being available. Thank you for your patience.

[lareeth]

Is there anything we can do to help with the automation? I found it easy to modify the build to allow you pass in the version at build time, I then was able to create a build pipeline for each release from 1.5 to 1.8. You would just need to keep each pipeline minor release number parameter up to date.

[enisoc]

The actual building of the packages is pretty well automated already. The manual steps involve signing and pushing them to the official k8s repositories. Currently, these repos are hosted by Google, and the process to push to them involves Google-internal tools.
