FILE BASED CATALOG FOR RED HAT CONNECTIVITY LINK COMPONENT OPERATORS

RHCL Operator, Authorino Operator, DNS Operator & Limitador Operator

How these catalogs were initially generated: Using the IIB provided index images that are created as part of the OLM_CATALOG_INITALIZATION_BUNDLE_IMAGE CVP Test

Copy the IIB base images for each OCP Version for each operator from their most recent CVP test logs.

Run the following command to generate a file based catalog for all operators in a given OCP Version
opm migrate --migrate-level="bundle-object-to-csv-metadata" $IIB_IMAGE_PULLSPEC catalogs-$OCP_VERSION -o yaml

Copy the catalog.yaml file from the folder corresponding to the operator package you want, and commit it to your file based catalog repository.

Adding new bundles with Claude Code

This repository includes a Claude Code skill (/add-bundle) that automates adding operator bundles to the catalog. It handles rendering the bundle with OPM, updating channel entries, and validating the result.

Usage:

/add-bundle <BUNDLE_IMAGE_PULLSPEC> <OCP_VERSIONS> <UPGRADE_PATH>

Examples:

/add-bundle registry.redhat.io/rhcl-1/rhcl-operator-bundle@sha256:abc123 4.19-4.22 replaces 1.3.4, if no previous no upgrade path
/add-bundle registry.redhat.io/rhcl-1/dns-operator-bundle@sha256:def456 4.19, 4.20, 4.21 replaces previous if exists

The skill will:

1. Render the bundle image with opm render --migrate-level=bundle-object-to-csv-metadata -o yaml
2. Detect existing catalog state for each target OCP version
3. Add channel entries with the specified upgrade path (replaces/skips)
4. For new OCP versions without the operator, create a minimal catalog (exception: authorino-operator carries the full catalog history due to support arrangements)
5. Validate all modified catalogs with opm validate
