16:01:39 <morganava> our pad per usual -> https://pad.riseup.net/p/tor-tbb-keep
16:07:02 <morganava> ok, the only news I think i have for you this week is that I've stood up a standardized uplift and backport issues
16:07:43 <morganava> going forward, the  ~Upift and ~Backport labels are dead, long live Apps::Type::Uplift and Apps::Type::Backport issues, each with their own template
16:07:55 <morganava> should help us keep track of where/what/when to backport/uplift things
16:08:09 <morganava> PieroV, looks like you've several topics for today so i hand it to you
16:08:14 <PieroV> Yes, I do!
16:08:21 <PieroV> First, we get tags today
16:08:24 <PieroV> Like in 3 hours
16:08:39 <PieroV> And next week is release week
16:09:04 <PieroV> How are we going to split tasks?
16:09:15 <PieroV> I guess we decided to let Claire rebase alpha, right?
16:09:24 <PieroV> So, should someone else (e.g., me) rebase stable?
16:10:06 <ma1> (and we still have legacy until September :( )
16:10:14 <morganava> yeah that makes sense, unless ma1, brizental or dan_b want it
16:11:17 <clairehurst> wfm
16:11:20 <morganava> i'm going to be doing a live alpha-rebase walkthrough with claire on thurs; some of you are arleady on the meeting invite but if anyone else is interested in the process the more the merrir
16:11:22 <dan_b> legacy rebase i am assuing should be the lightest?
16:11:37 <morganava> dan_b: in theory
16:11:38 <ma1> I can get stable and go straight to the backports
16:12:39 <morganava> sounds good to me^
16:13:26 <brizental[m]> morganava: please add me to the walkthrough :)
16:13:33 <morganava> ack
16:14:08 <morganava> done :)
16:14:10 <boklm> morganava: I can maybe join that meeting too
16:14:41 <morganava> alright, everyone's getting a rebase walkthough
16:15:56 <morganava> this is basically going to be a live rebase tutorial following https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/43487
16:16:20 <morganava> so you may want to review the steps ahead of time, make sure you have the relevant git repos cloned
16:16:56 <PieroV> You can also use worktrees
16:17:13 <PieroV> I started using worktrees to have several rebase trees without having a .git for each one of them
16:17:25 <PieroV> The limit is that you can checkout a branch only in a worktree
16:17:36 <PieroV> Other limits are with submodules, but we don't use them, so not a problem for us
16:19:21 <dan_b> +1 for worktrees
16:21:30 <morganava> ok, anythign else people want to discuss today?
16:21:59 <morganava> or anythign esle i can help you with?
16:22:05 <PieroV> Yes
16:22:11 <PieroV> Announce
16:22:18 <PieroV> Rather than discuss
16:22:45 <PieroV> We only have two scheduled alphas before the scheduled release of 14.5 as stable
16:23:20 <PieroV> The plan is (was?) to release 14.5 stable around April 15, to give us ~5 months for ESR transition
16:24:02 <PieroV> April 15 means 128.9-based 14.5. Then, after a couple of weeks, a 128.10-based 14.5.1
16:24:20 <PieroV> So, we have 14.5a4 and 14.5a5
16:24:54 <PieroV> We have a release meeting this Wed
16:25:24 <PieroV> It'll be good to go through all 14.5 goals, and see if they're still feasible
16:26:23 <morganava> sounds like a good plan to me
16:26:56 <morganava> https://gitlab.torproject.org/groups/tpo/applications/-/milestones/15#tab-issues
16:27:07 <PieroV> I'll try to prepare the pad before Wed
16:27:10 <morganava> we're currently sitting at 24 open 14.5 milestone'd issuees
16:27:32 <PieroV> morganava: I think it'd be good to go through the pad we created at the beginning of the 14.5 development
16:27:34 <morganava> and I'll do a first review of those today+tomorrow
16:29:21 <morganava> can you add that link to the release meeting pad if you haven't already?
16:31:04 <morganava> ok anything else?
16:31:19 <morganava> are we still happy with our connect-assist sync at 1700??
16:31:39 <PieroV> Yes
16:32:06 <dan_b> sure!
16:32:45 <morganava> perfect
16:33:00 <morganava> in that case, i'll see you there o/
