But I am not sure. 19:07:42 minor stuff anyway 19:07:51 okay, could be 19:08:19 if there are things that should get into the stable release which are not committed yet, let me know 19:08:40 otherwise i start tagging a release with the result of #29104 and what we have right now 19:09:02 for the alpha i'd like to see as many things as we can get squeezed into 19:09:16 there are no so many alphas left before we'll have a 8.5 stable 19:09:30 which brings me to my next point: 19:09:40 i need help with reviewing my patches 19:10:08 i have all those tickets on the pad and some folks added that could/would be good reviewers 19:10:58 does it work for those who are tentatively assigned? 19:11:11 and we need folks for the (?) tickets 19:11:57 this works for me (I removed the '?' on the ones assigned to me) 19:12:13 same for me 19:13:06 pospeselr seemed to be okay 19:13:09 i can take on #21805 as well 19:13:17 and mcs/brade are already working on the tickets 19:13:46 igt0: yeah, if you could look over the mobile things, too, that would be neat 19:13:57 +1 19:14:04 i tried to keep the behavior between dektop and mobile 19:14:24 so we have a somewhat similar experience 19:14:35 but i have no clue whether that's smart of not 19:15:08 okay, next item 19:15:34 just another gentle reminder to post status updates once a day at least to our tor-dev irc channel 19:15:46 so that everyone is updated on what is going on in the team 19:16:14 should not be that hard to get used to (but i am happy to ping folks for the next weeks and months if needed) 19:17:08 alternatively, if we get annoyed by that let me know and we can change our plan here 19:17:29 but i was under the impression that this was a good idea 19:17:42 that's it form me 19:17:44 *from 19:17:44 it would definitely help me ;) 19:17:58 yeah 19:18:14 tjr: you are up 19:18:40 I am wondering if anyone has a list of the functions you'd check for during the new-esr networking review 19:18:59 not really functions 19:20:06 tjr: https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-browser-spec.git/tree/audits/FF52_NETWORK_AUDIT is what we check 19:20:17 and there are similar files in the audit folder 19:20:52 (and yes, i need to commit the FF60 one but am waiting on sysrqb's rust doublecheck :) ) 19:21:04 okay; I will review all this, thanks 19:21:22 so, what i did and mike did was making a huge diff and then grep through the relevant things like *UDP* 19:21:52 looking for changes and following them making sure they are okay 19:22:07 there is no good process for rust code yet, though 19:22:22 i'm hoping i'll find some time for this again 19:22:28 i think the plan is to establish one with the esr60 audit 19:22:40 because the method we used so far seemed to reach its limits 19:22:58 (at least that was my impression when looking at it) 19:23:09 sysrqb: yeah, i know. so much to do :() 19:23:30 i was thinking about looking at the intermediate AST and checking that for checking that for risky function calls 19:23:49 but i never found enogh time for finding how to get that out of the rust compiler 19:25:13 tjr: is there something particularly helpful i could/should do wrt to mingw-w64/clang like this week before you are getting less responsive? 19:25:46 maybe summarize where you are with the toolchain and building ff with it and what else you need? 19:25:58 i plan to work on #28238 but i am not sure how much time i will have for that during all the releasing 19:26:15 okay, noted 19:26:55 okay, it seems pili is up! 19:27:18 hi, just to let you know that I'm experimenting with a Kanban board for our roadmap, mainly for myself 19:27:30 but feel free to take a look and use it if you feel it's going to be helpful 19:27:44 my plan is to update it weekly during/after this meeting 19:28:53 so no actions for anyone yet 19:28:54 a 19:29:05 unless you feel like adding/moving things around also :) 19:29:40 oh neat, it's like trello 19:30:24 interesting 19:31:08 pospeselr: it's like trello but not as nice :D 19:31:14 I think it will do the job though 19:31:25 subtasks are a bit screwy... but I'm still playing 19:31:44 pili: how do you differntiate between "Backlog" and "In Progress"? 19:32:09 like by looking at status updates in #tor-dev? 19:32:13 or...? 19:32:22 the meeting pad? 19:32:23 it's a fine line... :) so far for In progress I'm seeing if there's any movement on the ticket 19:32:32 right now, I'm including the meeting pad in my calculations 19:32:45 _recent_ movement on the ticket 19:32:59 or at least some indication that work on it was started at some point 19:33:09 it's probably not super accurate, I only started it today 19:33:21 no worries 19:33:33 but I was trying to get a better handle on where we were as I was getting a bit lost :) 19:33:35 i am curious how it goes and if it helps optimizing things 19:33:45 yup, we'll see 19:34:19 probably it will just mean I annoy more people if I see tickets from the roadmap are not getting any love :) 19:34:27 let me know if i can help with anything in that regard 19:34:35 yup, I will do, thanks GeKo 19:34:39 oh hey, when will we start to see alpha builds with #25702 (new icons) patches applied? 19:34:39 could be 19:34:56 once the nightlies are not busted anymore 19:35:09 #29143 19:35:12 (basically anything in backlog came from the roadmap and was then moved on if I saw activity) 19:35:19 kk 19:35:36 pospeselr: ah, alpha 19:35:47 well, next week this will go out 19:35:54 in case nothing explodes before 19:36:01 ok cool :) 19:36:20 alright, anything else for the status update section? 19:37:32 okay, discussion time 19:37:42 tjr: you are up 19:38:02 Does anyone have thoughts on the media playback email on tbb-dev? 19:38:18 This can simply serve as a prod to look at it though 19:38:30 (sorry to say I have to go, will catch up on the scrollback later) 19:38:33 pospeselr, geko \o/ 19:39:22 tjr: not right now but i plan to get back to various email threads this week if that's early enough 19:39:30 sure 19:40:00 tjr: do we have an idea how problematic this is compared to other fingerprinting vectors? 19:40:56 and i see the mail seems about taking care of my next question about "how common this is" 19:41:24 * tjr nods 19:41:52 tjr: okay, that's quite a bit of stuff to think about 19:42:04 i'll look closer at it tomorrow and think about it 19:42:12 and will reply later this week 19:45:10 okay, anything else for discussion this week? 19:45:29 yes! 19:45:41 antonela: just reminded me about the tor browser release meeting... 19:45:43 * pili blushes 19:45:47 jiji 19:45:58 i was waiting for that one :) 19:46:04 I will send an email out 19:46:22 not sure about special guests... 19:46:45 i think things we want to do for the upcoming release have not changed since last time 19:47:28 oh, GeKo, did you confirm moving this meeting on Mondays 30 min/1 hour earlier is good? 19:47:35 yup, it will probably be a quick review this week 19:47:46 igt0: does 30min earlier work for you? 19:47:55 yep, it does 19:48:00 :) 19:48:01 like 1830UTC instead of 1900UTC 19:48:07 okay, confirmed then 19:48:17 i'll send an email to tbb-dev 19:48:23 thanks 19:48:35 and we start the new time and in #tor-meeting2 19:48:40 from next monday on 19:48:56 +1 19:49:03 (we need the fallback room as the meeting starts to overlap with the network-team folks) 19:49:24 alright. thanks everyone for today *baf* 19:49:27 #endmeeting
