 **Tetrate CVE builds**

 While waiting for PRs to be accepted in the upstream repository and a new version to be released, follow the next instructions to publish our own builds:
 - Define the new version name by following the pattern `<current-version>-tetrate-v<patch-number>`, for example `v1.16.0-tetrate-v0` is the first CVEs fixing patch for v1. 16.0 kubegres.
 - Run `IMG=tetrate/kubegres:<new-version> make deploy` with the new version tag to update `kubegres.yaml` file and open a PR with the changes.
