DONE

[ZanderBrown]

It's quite frustrating that vscode installed by rpm through the repo is notifying me of an update when it isn't available in the repo.

Perhaps code installed this way shouldn't show update notifications and leave that to the package manager (alternately speed up the upload process)

[lynchem]

Publish deb and rpms to repositories manually

A week after release and I still don't have the Feb build available via rpm. Can this be automated for the future? Could we get the current one up there?

[Tyriar]

@lynchem we're having issues with the internal service used to publish the rpm and are working with the team that owns that to resolve it. Automating this would be a huge weight off my shoulders every month but it's not currently possible.

[ZanderBrown]

@Tyriar understand it can be hard but the 'an update is available' notification every time a window is opened gets frustrating, especially when I actually want to update
