Build Server setup and decisions

Build Server Status

• SSH is jury-rigged (jerry-rigged?)
• Dependencies manually installed via homebrew

• SSH <-> VCS (gerrit/wikimedia-git)

• • Create build server gerrit account
  • Install SSH pub/priv keys on server
  • Clone repo to test

Be careful about IT (e.g. firewalls & subnets...) Be careful about security vulnerabilities.

Release

Process

• • Cut release branch at end of sprint and generate RC build
  • Testing...
  • Hot fix as necessary while development continues on master
  • New commits on release branch trigger new RC build

Channels

• TF External org.wikimedia.wikipedia.tfbeta and TF internal org.wikimedia.wikipedia (for upgrade smoketest): 9 am tuesdays. purpose: crash, identify blockers for release. usability testing
• TF Internal: (bleeding edge) daily at 8:30 am san francisco. same ^ but w/ small group and/or org members
• App Store: send to apple thursday of the first week of each sprint at 3 pm (this would be what we put for org.wikimedia.wikipedia on internal testflight). we need dan and elena to let us know this looks okay. when does specialists guild?
