Description

The proposal updates the process for providing security patches to end-of-life Kubernetes versions by requiring fixers to create patches for the three most recent EOL versions during the embargo period, with SRC coordinating and pushing the patches to a new security patches repository after the embargo lifts. The goal is to improve patch availability for older versions, though it remains community-driven with SRC only responsible for coordination during the embargo.

Key Takeaways:
• Fixers are now required to provide patches for three recent EOL versions during the embargo period 1:42.
• Patches are pushed to a new repository after the embargo is lifted, with SRC requesting review from fixers and tagging them for approval 2:31.
• The process allows for community contributions; if patches are not available at announcement, the community (e.g., SIG leads) can open PRs to review and approve them, with no obligation on SRC to review or maintain them 54:20.
• A basic CI check (e.g., apply and type check) is proposed to validate patches, but no full testing is required 40:02.

This process prioritizes community-driven effort and avoids overburdening SRC with ongoing review responsibilities, while still providing a clear path for patch availability.

Hello everybody. It is the August 26th working group LTS meeting. Uh we just have one thing on the agenda which is uh looking at the updated version of the uh proposal for community security patches for old end of life Kubernetes or minor versions. So I will hand it off to Rita and we can go from there. >> Awesome. Uh thank you. Um so based on so it's been about a month since we last talked about this particular proposal. Uh soliciting feedback. Uh I think some of the feedback were basically like um having these patches persisted after the embargo is lifted is okay but not as useful. Um so there were some feedback around um if we had the these patches during the embargo period is actually way more useful. Um so I basically updated the doc to reflect that. Um as you can see if you click on …
