node 14.18.2

hello, i see that there is an rpm for node 14.18.2 available now. what is the process for generating new minor version images?

The rpms first need to be released by Red Hat in RHSCL or RHEL8 (depending on what version are you looking for). Only after that happens we can create a new build of the images.

im hoping to get the ubi7/nodejs-14 image updated. it does appear that a newer rpm is currently available (14.17.5 vs 14.18.2)

docker run registry.access.redhat.com/ubi7/nodejs-14:1-51 -- node --version

v14.17.5

docker run registry.access.redhat.com/rhscl/s2i-core-rhel7:1 /usr/bin/bash -c \
'yum install -y -q rh-nodejs14 && /opt/rh/rh-nodejs14/root/usr/bin/node --version'

Ah if the nodejs rpm update is already released that makes it easier to figure out when the official images get updated.

The 14.18.2 update was released on Jan 6, the regular rebuild of ubi7 images happened on Jan 11. The images' content is frozen a few days before the container images are shipped, so the nodejs update likely missed it by a day or two. These rebuilds happen approx. every 6 weeks, so you can expect the update to get into the official images sometime in February.

You can of course build your own image with the updated nodejs rpms using the sources from this repository before the official update if you need to have the image earlier.
