@Adam Stankiewicz

Managing dependency upgrades:

• Renovate vs. Dependabot

  • Why do we have both running?

    • Quite possible we should only be using Renovate.

    • If so, should we turn off Dependabot?

    • @Brian Smith Wants to dig thru docs/ADRs, etc. to find where this decision is documented.

      • 9. Use Renovate to update dependencies — Open edX Proposals 1.0 documentation

• Dependabot security vulnerabilities list no longer appears to be available in the Paragon repository.

  • This changed likely due to recent Core Contributor changes, where @Adam Stankiewicz's permissions repo settings likely changed.

  • @Adam Stankiewicz to follow-up with @Brian Smith wrt (at least) Paragon permissions.

• Related issue:

  • make sure dependabot knows how to handle the new branches · Issue #3365 · openedx/paragon
