@mkuznyetsov FYI https://ci.centos.org/job/devtools-che-plugin-registry-release/ failed

Hmm, looking at the log I see:

Error response from daemon: No such image: rhel-che-plugin-registry:latest

@nickboldt do you have any idea? I also see some errors about sorting the vscode-extensions.json file:

The command '/bin/sh -c ./check_sorted_json.sh' returned a non-zero code: 1

but I don't know if this is enough to derail the build.

[ibuziuk]

just fyi this is a blocker for Hosted Che update since we are using rhel based images on dsaas / dsaas-stg

[mkuznyetsov]

@ericwill you can disregard the error related to "rhel-che-plugin-registry" image, since it was caused by failed docker build, which is related to that sorting error it.

[ericwill]

This sorting business is not crucial so I'll just disable it for now, and @benoitf can take a look next week when he's back from PTO. Expect a PR shortly.
