I merged Priti's work to deploy the openwhisk catalog using wsk project deploy. https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-catalog/pull/268
Thanks Priti. This allows us to upgrade most actions to node 8 or 10 (from node 6). The following PR will switch the openwhisk repo's mechanism to use the wsk project deploy path. https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/pull/4291 If there are no comments on the PR I'll merge it by silent assent in 72hrs. -r
