Context

• GitHub brownouts [1] the git:// protocol which lead in the past to failing release test jobs. We tried to fix it with CAM-14078 by replacing git:// with https:// in our package.json and package-lock.json files down to Camunda Platform 7.9.
  • Brownout means that they have certain dates where they stop supporting the protocol temporarily until they finally drop support on the 15th of March 2022
• Our release job reverts the https:// protocol back to git://
  • See https://github.com/camunda/camunda-bpm-platform/blob/2fdc7bd2ed261e5e96087d0927d2cc70337d590b/webapps/package.json#L44
• This could lead to the situation that we are not able to build releases

Acceptance Criteria (Required on creation):

The release job does not revert the protocol.
