Hi all, I opened https://github.com/apache/polaris/pull/4005 as a quick fix based on my understanding of the issue I'm facing during release materials generation. Here's a quick rundown of the issue that I think I'm facing (see GH PR link for the full error):
I'm getting an SVN issue when trying to add the newly-generated Helm charts to the Apache Polaris repo. My understanding is that this issue occurs because the `helm-chart` subdirectory isn't already added to the SVN repository. When comparing the 1.3.0-incubating release's workflow [1], the `helm-chart` subdirectory already existed, which is why we didn't see this issue before. After moving out of the incubator, this subdirectory doesn't pre-exist when running our release scripts. The underlying assumption I'm making as part of #4005 is that the `index.yml` file that already exists in the `helm-chart` subdirectory in the incubator repo isn't important to pre-exist, as we re-generate this file in the following step anyways. Can someone with more experience with the automated release system comment if this is the right approach or if the `index.yml` is truly important to have at this step in the release pipeline?
