Description

Adds the ReleaseVersionPriority feature gate (Alpha, disabled by default) to enable upgrades between re-released bundles with the same semantic version but different release values (e.g., 2.0.0+1 to 2.0.0+2).

Changes in the PR:

  • Added a new feature gate: ReleaseVersionPriority (Alpha, disabled by default)
  • Added a new predicate**: SameVersionHigherRelease() to identify bundles with same version but higher release
  • Modified SuccessorsOf() to conditionally include higher-release bundles as valid successors when the feature gate is enabled
  • Unit tests for SameVersionHigherRelease() predicate with edge cases
  • Unit tests for SuccessorsOf() integration with feature gate disabled (testing the default behavior)

Pull request overview

This PR introduces an alpha feature gate to allow OLMv1 upgrade resolution to treat “re-released” bundles (same semver, higher release/build value like 2.0.0+1 -> 2.0.0+2) as valid successors when explicitly enabled.

Changes:

  • Added ReleaseVersionPriority feature gate (Alpha, default disabled).
  • Added SameVersionHigherRelease() predicate and integrated it into SuccessorsOf() behind the feature gate.
  • Added unit tests for SameVersionHigherRelease() and for SuccessorsOf() with the gate disabled.

If I understand this correctly, it looks like this introduces the new behavior that an explicit upgrade edge doesn't actually have to exist in the catalog to upgrade to a bundle that has the same version and a higher release. Is that the intent? (If so let's make that clear in the PR description).

Is it also the intent that we'll inherit the upgrade edges of the first release of the version?

const testPackageName = "test-package"

// Expected bundle version 2.0.0+1
expect, err := bundle.NewLegacyRegistryV1VersionRelease("2.0.0+1")

I'd suggest putting the expect value in the test case, and adding cases that start from different values. For example: from a version without a release.

Also related: do we need to add code that knows how to parse the new Release field of the olm.package property (around here:

vr, err := bundle.NewLegacyRegistryV1VersionRelease(pkg.Version)
)?

iirc, @grokspawn's design called for a specific precedence when handling both release and build metadata that we will need to account for.

What if the re-release version is already in the explicit upgrade graph? In that case, should we ignore it and let its explicit channel entry take precedence? That would preserve existing behavior.

func SameVersionHigherRelease(expect bundle.VersionRelease) filter.Predicate[declcfg.Bundle] {
return func(b declcfg.Bundle) bool {
actual, err := bundleutil.GetVersionAndRelease(b)
if err != nil {

could failing silently here lead to some hard to spot bugs?

We discussed earlier today. I think the first step is to essentially revert #2273 so that we're not attempting to interpret build metadata as release info anymore. Any catalogs built with tooling that supports release versioning will automagically propagate the build metadata into the CSV's spec.release field anyway, so regardless of whether the operator author used the old build metadata approach or the new spec.release approach, they would still have spec.release here.

The next step is to ensure that we're sorting successors using the CompositeVersion, which is easily performed if using the Bundle comparator during the sort.

This will prefer version+release over version.

#2273 makes the claim that future bundle types will drop this approach, not that registry+v1 bundles should. So that's my bad.
From the perspective of fulfilling handling precedents for registry+v1 bundles, we need to retain the ability to differentiate/order them by build metadata. :(

Sadly, we have to rely on the presence of existing graph edges or we break assumptions users have with the registry+v1 bundle format, coming from v0.

So even though we have the ability to prefer version+release over version, since replaces/skips use named bundles instead of bundle versions we have to support the older behavior.

That would be a regression of a bug fix that #2273 made though, right?

Yeah, agreed. I reached the same conclusion after thinking about this more.

So if I understand correctly now:

  1. The existing code on main already honors the upgrade graph and orders "same version, different release" correctly when parsing from build metadata
  2. The existing code on main knows nothing about the new release field.

So the change we need now is "look for release in the olm.package property, and if present, prefer it over build metadata"?

This error should wrap the underlying error with %w instead of formatting it with %v, so callers can unwrap/inspect it consistently (and it matches the %w usage elsewhere in this function).

Suggested change
return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to get composite version for installed bundle %q: %w", installedBundle.Name, err)

SameVersionHigherRelease now takes a declcfg.CompositeVersion, but this test builds expect via bundle.NewLegacyRegistryV1VersionRelease(...) (type *bundle.VersionRelease) and passes *expect into SameVersionHigherRelease, which will not compile. Construct expect as a declcfg.CompositeVersion (e.g., by creating a declcfg.Bundle with the expected package property and calling CompositeVersion()), and remove the dependency on the internal bundle type here.

resolve.Resolver / resolve.Func now return *declcfg.CompositeVersion instead of *bundle.VersionRelease. This change requires updating all resolver implementations and test fakes/mocks; for example, internal/operator-controller/controllers/clusterextension_controller_test.go still defines resolve.Func(...)(*declcfg.Bundle, *bundle.VersionRelease, ...), which will no longer compile. Please update those call sites to return *declcfg.CompositeVersion (and adjust any code that relied on AsLegacyRegistryV1Version()).

SuccessorsOf is described/tested as feature-gated to allow same-semver higher-release bundles, but the implementation currently never checks features.ReleaseVersionPriority and never composes SameVersionHigherRelease(...) into the returned predicate. As a result, enabling/disabling the new gate has no effect and the new gate tests cannot pass. Add a gate check and OR in SameVersionHigherRelease(*installedCompositeVersion) when the feature is enabled.

Adjusted my comments. I missed the part of the #2273 description when it said that we wouldn't divert from semver ordering for any new bundle formats.
From the perspective of registry+v1 bundles, this is precedent and we should support the new case with .spec.release is available, otherwise falling back on the 'is it bundle metadata' ordering logic.
