Participants (alphabetical): Conor, Emmanuel, Erik, Jen, Kevin, Kushal, Mike, Mickael, Nina

Agenda

  • Strategy for hosting new Xenial channel

Aptly maintainer suggests two different repos (apt-trusty, apt-xenial). Alternatively, unique version strings. Conor: Open to unique repo option as a fallback, but prefer more robust version string changes if possible.

  • How long do we push Trusty packages? Jen: We should support via SD releases until Trusty EOLs (April 30, 2019)

  • Discussion of the three modifications to the app code: Upgrade of setuptools and changing gnupg binary for python-gnupg

  • gpg binary changes: Need to investigate more what gpg 2.1 incompatibility is. Jen will drive that investigation. Would prefer not to downgrade gpg.

Conor

Yesterday: apt-test xenial channel work, discovered that we must have unique package versions per platform, otherwise we clobber. Only affects securedrop-app-code at present.

Today: deep dive on research for package build strategies. requires changes in our SD packaging logic to accommodate, unfortunately

Blockers: Jen: interested in seeing code for tor's deb pkg build logic, have been unable to locate publicly
