IRC Meeting 2008 12 07 Minutes - nesciens/xmms2-wiki GitHub Wiki

DrM

• Feature freeze on 2009-01-01
• Whatever is then in devel makes it.

Tools

Buildbot

• is online
• slaves esp 64-bit and win32 wanted
  • nano believes he can provide one at work soon.
  • mingw easy to setup if master.cfg available
• continue off-meeting

g.x.s/merge

• code at git.0x63.nu
• Anders has stuff for replacement and is already implementing it, will write down his plans.
• theefer looks at for other review stuff
• updater currently runs out of anders' cron, so patches need to go through him.
• nano will help out with g.x.s/merge

Mantis-auto-rebasing-thing

• request for thing to automatically import patches from mantis into a special git tree.
• rebased every time devel changes (if fails: bugnote)
• theefer looks at mantis api for auto-rebaser (actually there is no sane way to access mantis remotely /theefer)
• nano will help out with auto-rebaser

Mh I didn't understand the "rebased every time devel changes" part that way, but in any case, a working prototype in Ruby for fetching a patch from Mantis and applying it on a new local Git branch is available in the xmms2tools repository. --Theefer 01:29, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Testing framework

• after waf-upgrade nano will dig into cunit-testing

Karma

• is online

FOSDEM'09

• attending nano: tru, tilman, rafl, nesciens.
• possibly attending: theefer, eleusis, puzzles, drax, anders
• tru does organizing.

Merging of big features

• Anders:
  • code should be divided in small bits. If necessary history can be rewritten (as I (nesciens) understand it).
  • waf-stuff can be merge is as a whole (because it is an external project)
  • stuff should hit devel early (even if it means a little less review)
  • no non-devel reference branch should be necessary
  • Anders looks at g.x.s/merge daily on workdays. Small stuff is reviewed immediately.
  • Buildbot makes Anders a bit more sloppy.
