Standup Notes 2019 01 10
Participants (alphabetical): Conor, Erik, Jen, Kevin, Kushal, Mike, Mickael
- Xenial channel(s) apt hosting strategy
Conor: To test Xenial channel, we need to cover both SecureDrop packages & Tor. Should we have two prod & two test repos? Probably yes -- in which case we may want to convert existing repo to aptly VPS, to have consistent developer workflow.
Mike/Conor: Shift into existing apt-test repo?
Consensus:
-
Fold Tor packages into apt-test repo
-
Add Xenial channel to apt-test
-
For all references to tor-apt on staging, we'd point to apt-test
-
Xenial upgrade: Please review/comment on https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/issues/3965
