Would like to change the name of a category, what is the process for that?

[eriknelson]

Hello, we'd like to update a name of a migration category from "Modernization & Migration" to "Migration and Modernization". Could someone help me understand what the process for that change would be, and what kind of approvals are necessary in order to apply that change?

Somehow these community operator categories are also shared by downstream OpenShift operators, see screenshot:

If a downstream operator specifies a Category that is also shared by the Categories specified here, will OLM simply merge them into the same category? Who are the right people to reach out to to ask these questions? I'm also available at ernelson redhat com since this issue seems to straddle both upstream operatorhub and downstream.

Any updates on this?

Hi @eriknelson,

You can only use these categories: https://github.com/operator-framework/api/blob/master/pkg/validation/internal/operatorhub.go#L143-L159

To publish your project need to pass in the validator: https://github.com/operator-framework/api/blob/master/pkg/validation/internal/operatorhub.go#L21-L125

You can test locally your bundle with Operator-SDK operator-sdk bundle validate ./bundle --select-optional suite=operatorframework

These categories/checks are also used/required to publish in OCP as you find out already. So, I do not think that we can change the order of the names without causing a significant impact.

I hope that it helps you out.
Also, please feel free to ping me on the slack(cmacedo) if you need more info and help.
