Hi All, I'm fine with manual helm index updates after the RC is approved, but I think it's very error-prone and complicates validating helm charts in RCs.
Since PRs [3515] and [4154] already provide a foundation for automated helm index generation, it would be nice to use it. [3515] https://github.com/apache/polaris/pull/3515 [4154] https://github.com/apache/polaris/pull/4154 Cheers, Dmitri.
