Working towards making development & CI for client go smoother. GitHub being funky, so let's chat in Gitter. Would be good to get these merged sooner rather than later so I can work on new things.
Yesterday:
- Merged modal login window
- Thought a bit about how we should handle pushing of changes to servers from clients, write up in a ticket on the client repo, criticism welcome
Today:
- Need to do an SDK release (change needed both for starring PR and the client debian packaging)
- Get all 0.10.0 changes merged in ready for release tomorrow
- rpm strategy meeting after this, feel free to join if you care
Blockers:
- None
