Standup Notes 2019 02 25
Participants (alphabetical): Allie, Conor, Deeplow, Emmanuel, Erik, Heartsucker, Jen, John, Kevin, Kushal, Mike, Mickael
Release check-in
-
RC3 out, no nasty bugs -- yay detailed PR review
-
Two scenarios we want most emphasis on is a clean install on hardware, clean upgrade on hardware; VM testing not as critically important as it might be
-
Kev: For folks on not supported hardware, recommend backup -> restore to fresh install
-
Kushal: do-release-upgrade works as expected, but SD packages not installed as expected
-
Kev: Most important upgrade in place on old series 5 NUCs according to in-place upgrade docs -- will attempt to reproduce
Docs:
- Upgrade docs under review ( https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/pull/4140 ) once that's done, https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/pull/4182 can be reviewed/merged (Kev, early comments on that appreciated)
