@randomorder let's decide together the best approach. Thank you @MV88.

[tdipisa]

As agreed also with @randomorder three branches have been created in mapstore-datadir repo, one for each MS instance we have to maintain: DEV, QA and STABLE.

@ibrahimcengizgeo has already versioned the current state while @MV88 will update each branch next days according to what scheduled for #7165.

Three additional J. Jobs or a GHA will be created to fetch updates from each branch of mapstore-datadir and so update the data dir of each instance (eg. one datadir update job for each MS instance). A separate issue (#1046) has been created for the implementation of these jobs/gha.

[tdipisa]

@MV88 jenkins jobs are already in place and the update of data dirs is triggered automatically after few minutes when we commit/merge updates. I've asked @ibrahimcengizgeo to put a brief documentation about the three jobs in the repo readme.

@tdipisa thanks, i like the fact there is no manual operation involved other than pushing changes to the datadir repo

@tdipisa, @MV88
it seems this task was assigned to me. if it's not related to me I will unassign it,
I guess only https://github.com/geosolutions-it/DevOps/issues/1046 was on me.

[MV88]

yes, you can unassign now

There are no functional changes in this PR. The refactor involves the geoserver integrations. So please test them on DEV and QA.
I tested on myself the integration is working.

The only thing left is to merge this during release. https://github.com/geosolutions-it/mapstore-datadir/pull/4
Already noted in #8660

So I'm going to close and accept this issue
