Flagging https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-workstation/commit/64bed2b10fdbc4aba0727a49be9b32b5866050ab Found few broken reference at documentation (https://docs.securedrop.org/en/release-0.10.0/). Will reise an issue for them.
Yesterday: - Reviewed merged status bar, reviewed download UI - started updating push logic in that star PR. I missed that during release fun my star PR got 👍'd, but i might just add the updated push logic to that PR for monday (not critical for next client package)
Today: - I might just add a wee commit adding the user feedback / file storage such that we can merge file download UI - Fix push logic if time permits
Blockers: None

- Any RPM packaging questions from Kushal?
- Critical path review
- The plan is early next week we are going to integrate the client into securedrop-workstation master, once the client functionality allowing the download, decryption, and viewing of messages and files is complete. That work is being done in:
- https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/issues/19 Download files (PR is made)
- https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/issues/66 Decrypt documents (smallish)
- https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/issues/40 Download and DL messages for display in conversation view
- https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/issues/20 View documents (i.e. open in DispVM, smallish)
- This will enable us to parallize more, i.e. we can do QA to shake out issues while we add additional client features (reply, source deletion, etc.) in preparation of another iteration
- The plan is early next week we are going to integrate the client into securedrop-workstation master, once the client functionality allowing the download, decryption, and viewing of messages and files is complete. That work is being done in:
Conor: We should be able to remove default make clean behavior -- once we get unattended updates in
Kushal is working on RPM package for dom0 - but don't have forward momentum on svs-disp yet
Conor: If we get RPM tomorrow, are we in good position to serve it? Mike: Really easy to throw it up :) bark bark
Sprint n+1 will likely involve SVS configuration, template hardening, client functionality/iteration, QA
