Hi everyone, welcome to the October 4 2022 meeting
eyedeekay
1. Hi
zlatinb
hi
zzz
hi
eyedeekay
1. Hi
eyedeekay
2. 1.10.0 development status
eyedeekay
3. next release 2.0.0?
eyedeekay
4. Publish source tarballs for bundle releases
eyedeekay
5. Free stickers for translators
eyedeekay
6. Windows Easy-Install Update/Out-of-Beta
eyedeekay
2. 1.10.0 development status
eyedeekay
About 7 weeks to go
eyedeekay
My big priority this month has been to get the Windows Easy-Install bundle ready to go out of beta
eyedeekay
Lots of stuff on the forum about that, targeting stable updates, compatibility with existing/unbundled routers, and a more stable and flexible way to manage and launch browser profiles, more on all that in item 6
eyedeekay
Also working on a "Split Tunneling" or "Per-App VPN" tool in Android(on the roadmap).
eyedeekay
The utility is that it allow users to configure their browsers more easily, in a way which prevents WebRTC escapes by putting them onto an interface which corresponds to an I2P connection and not to their network provider
eyedeekay
zzz, zlatinb what would you like to add that you're working on
zzz
not a lot to report... SSU2 testing continues to go well...
zzz
put up proposal 161 about compressible padding, we'll be discussing it in #ls2 meetings...
zlatinb
Nothing specific I'm working on, just want to let everyone know that I'll be afk from 22nd Nov to 10th Dec so if the next release gets tagged on the 21st I may be able to build the mac bundles but will most likely not be able to seed the torrents
eyedeekay
If you send me the files I'll seed them for you
zzz
I have some peer selection efficiency improvements I'm going to try to get in soon, may or may not make it
zzz
EOT
eyedeekay
Thanks zzz, zlatinb, I don't want to rush anybody but we do have a long agenda today, anything else to add on 2?
eyedeekay
3. next release 2.0.0?
eyedeekay
My vote is yes to 2.0.0
zzz
yeah I put it up for comments on my forum and got I think 1 yes and no no's
eyedeekay
I was a yes at the last meeting too I think
zzz
I'd like to decide today because I have a SSU2 blog post ready to go and it would be helpful to refer to the next release by number
zzz
yeah I didn't hear any strong opinions one way or the other last meeting which is why we pushed it a month
zzz
I think it's a good idea
zzz
so if there's no objections, let's call it 2.0.0!
eyedeekay
Timeout 1m for objections
zzz
make it 30 seconds :)
eyedeekay
Yeah I already burned 30
eyedeekay
OK there it is
eyedeekay
2.0.0
eyedeekay
4. Publish source tarballs for bundle releases
zzz
yeah this was my item
zzz
standard open source practice is to post source tarballs, even if we can point to a git tag
zzz
I understand that the Mac source doesn't change release to release?
zzz
but the windows source does?
zlatinb
well the mac bundle has evolved to enable arm64 but in general it doesn't change
eyedeekay
What we both do is clone a copy of the repo and check out a specific release tag, ant distclean, generate our jars, and copy them into the bundle trees
zzz
anyway, my recommendation is that we generate source tarballs as part of the build process and link to them on the respective download pages
zzz
if they don't change, then I guess they can be unversioned
zzz
so the windows source doesn't change release-to-release either?
zlatinb
I would rather just tag and then fetch the tarball from github. I expect at least for a while the only thing changing in the mac bundle will be the changelog file
zzz
you all can work out the details, but the goal is to have source and instructions so anybody can build it themselves
eyedeekay
The i2p jars that get included don't change except to get updated, but the Windows source has changed in the launcher quite a lot since it started
zzz
are you two willing to do that and add it to your release processes?
eyedeekay
Yes absolutely
eyedeekay
My release scripts and daily scripts now include tarball every time
zzz
you don't need to include dependencies such as i2p, and probably shouldn't
eyedeekay
zab's too IIRC
zlatinb
the question is where to put the tarballs, should they be available on the site, etc.
zzz
somewhere on the download server with everything else, with links on the bundle pages. You two can work out the details to be consistent
zlatinb
well that's the thing, if we can just point to a gitlab tag then there's no need for any extraneous links
zzz
disagree, I think it's good open source practice to publish source tarballs
zlatinb
github and maybe gitlab allow tarball download off of a tag
zzz
here's the binary, here's the source, here's the gpg sigs, here's the build instructions
eyedeekay
It's not much more effort, I'm not against it, I tag in the same script I generate tarballs in
zzz
it's also consistent with our mainline release to have tarballs
zzz
sounds like zlatinb is not in agreement? should we push this off to next month?
zlatinb
yeah I think it's unnecessary
zlatinb
but don't mind doing it if that's what the decision is
zzz
if it never changes, you only have to do it once and you're done
zlatinb
it has changed very rarely historically
zzz
if we don't want to decide today I'll start a forum thread to solicit more opinions
zlatinb
ok
zzz
ok = you're oppposed for now?
zlatinb
yeah
zzz
no problem, eyedeekay put it on the list for next month
eyedeekay
Kicking it down the road for now is fine with me, zlatinb and I can work out what we're going to do or not do in the meantime
eyedeekay
This might be a situation where we have to be a little different because my bundle has been a little more rapidly-changing than his
eyedeekay
Probably a good idea, and I'm pro tarballs
eyedeekay
OK can do
eyedeekay
Anything else for 4?
eyedeekay
5. Free stickers for translators
eyedeekay
zzz this one was also yours, take it away whenever you're ready
zzz
yeah, credit sarah jamie lewis on twitter
zzz
for her project which I've forgotten the name... cwtch?
zzz
anyway, thought it was a good idea, but we'd need a) stickers and b) people to mail them
eyedeekay
That's the one
zzz
both of which we used to have but are now out of both people and stickers?
zzz
so, do we want to do it, and should we order stickers (even if we don't)
zzz
EOT
zzz
sadie and eche|on used to be the sticker people I think
eyedeekay
I went through and counted mine up, I've got maybe 35 of the old ones(Toopie) and 91 left of the run I ordered in the spring, but I'd be fine with ordering more
zzz
anyway, comments please... yes/no/maybe?
eyedeekay
I can mail them within the US and Canada but the EU isn't great for me
zzz
we have hundreds of translators registered. only a few are probably active
zzz
who is the sticker-orderer-person?
eyedeekay
The last person to order stickers was probably me, but I did them on my own time/out of pocket so I would have them for conventions
zzz
who's in charge of PR?
zzz
who has an opinion about stickers for translators?
zzz
well, you could have / should have gotten reimbursed... echelon used to be the sticker guy
zzz
we're going to need his buyin both for the cost, and to make him the EU mail person, and to send half to you and half to him
zzz
since he's not around, put this on the list for next month, I'll try to get his attention
eyedeekay
I think that if translators request stickers we should be able to get them some stickers, but that it should be contingent on request
zzz
sure, we don't have anybody's address, they have to ask. but we would have to tell them to ask
zzz
if anybody's going to CCC then you need to hop on more stickers, independent of translators
zzz
EOT, push it to next month, no answers today
eyedeekay
Ack, I do plan to go so I'll make sure I have some stickers
eyedeekay
So next step is start an email chain with Ech about it
eyedeekay
EOT from me, anything else on 5?
eyedeekay
6. Windows Easy-Install Update/Out-of-Beta
eyedeekay
This one's mine obviously
eyedeekay
So 1.9.5 point release happened technically because of the reseed application context timer obviously
eyedeekay
But it was a convenient time to also keep an eye on how the updates performed
zlatinb
and how did it behave?
eyedeekay
It wasn't without complications, people who were using fell into 3 groups
eyedeekay
1. People for whom it worked perfectly
eyedeekay
2. People for whom it resulted in corrupted router.config files for un-bundled routers
eyedeekay
3. People for whom it it did not update because the router.config files were from un-bundled routers
eyedeekay
2 and 3 were problems, I followed up with the fix in a forum post on zzz.i2p
eyedeekay
I believe they are fixed now and cannot recur in the future
eyedeekay
Therefore I think the update process will be ready by what is now 2.0.0
eyedeekay
I actually think it's ready now but 7 weeks to test
zzz
we don't have documented criteria for out-of-beta, really
eyedeekay
So I would like to move it out of beta in November
zzz
but for me it's that the release processes are solid, things aren't getting missed
zzz
we're not doing point releases a week later to fix stuff
zzz
but you may wish to list your own feature goals
zzz
for example, are you two solid on reviewing the java updates every three months and jointly deciding to release or not?
zzz
I didn't see any on-IRC discussion. did it happen off-IRC perhaps?
zlatinb
the last discussion happened here, there has been no off-IRC discussion regarding jre point releases since
eyedeekay
Didn't we talk about it on Whereby a little after that?
eyedeekay
IIRC we only release in the Java cycle if there's a CVE which affects the last release?
zzz
just to take an example, 18.0.2.1 August 18 2022 fixes a JIT bug that crashes the JRE. Are you two both on that, or did you jointly decide it wasn't necessary?
zlatinb
I'm not on that I don't think
zlatinb
and don't remember discussing that bug; I usually look only at the CVEs
zlatinb
21:43:29 zlatinb: I'm not on that I don't think
zlatinb
21:43:42 zlatinb: and don't remember discussing that bug; I usually look only at the CVEs
zzz
back
eyedeekay
I am on 18.0.2.1 but because I pushed back my release to try and make sure I addressed some stability issues and by that time Java had updated
zzz
that's what I'm getting at about processes. If the build and release processes aren't yet stable and being reliably followed, these procucts aren't ready to graduate
eyedeekay
Also my point release was built with an updated JDK
eyedeekay
So that's got us out-of-sync again I think
zzz
so when you updated, to 18.0.2.1, did you tell zlatinb you were doing it and suggest he do the same?
eyedeekay
No I didn't, I simply let it auto-update and built with the latest version
eyedeekay
So... there's another process to revise on my side
zzz
I'd suggest you work on a solid bug-free release in november (together with whatever feature goals you have) and if that goes well put yourself on the agenda for december
eyedeekay
OK can do
zzz
or january because the release is likely to be late nov., may not have enough info by 1st week in dec.
eyedeekay
If there's not enough to go on by then I'll move it
eyedeekay
Anything else for 6?
zzz
a brief 6a)
eyedeekay
Sure
zzz
zlatinb, reported that the mac arm update went well, so as far as I'm concerned it's out of beta as discussed on my forum
zzz
zlatinb, you need to update your page to remove the beta label
zzz
eot
zlatinb
ok
zlatinb
will do soon
eyedeekay
All right that puts us at just shy of an hour, anything else for the meeting?
eyedeekay
timeout 1m
zlatinb
yes
zlatinb
if StormyCloud reads the logs, I encourage them to address the concerns raised on reddit
zlatinb
the longer that question stays unanswered the worse it looks
zlatinb
eot
eyedeekay
agreed, they do sometimes come to reddit and it would be good to hear from them
eyedeekay
Thanks zlatinb
eyedeekay
Anything else for the meeting(again)? timeout 30s this time
eyedeekay
Thanks everyone for coming, I'll post the logs tonight, see you around IRC and same time next month
zzz
zlatinb, if you need to get Stormy's attention, DM on twitter
zlatinb
I don't think they follow me
zzz
would you like me to?
zlatinb
yes I think it's important to have them at least ack on the question
zlatinb
please
zzz
done, don't forget to follow him
zzz
if you havent
zzz
zlatinb, already heard back, he followed you but can't DM? did you follow? in any case he's going to come to IRC I think
zlatinb
ok, just followed him back
zlatinb
hi StormyCloud
StormyCloud
zlatinb: Howdy
zlatinb
someone on reddit is asking about audit of your infrastructure and stuff, and it's been a few days now without any response. Doesn't look too good :(
zlatinb
1 day
StormyCloud
oO Could you link me or is it on the i2p beta post?
StormyCloud
Got it, sorry Im not logged into reddit all that often
StormyCloud
Ill reply and I appreciate the heads up
zlatinb
:)
StormyCloud
Gotta make the kiddos some dinner first and ill reply, but if you need to get ahold of me ASAP twitter be the fastest way
