Team Business

Composer dependencies:

  • the issue at https://github.com/wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin/issues/18 needs to be pointed to legoktm and bd808 or find a champion to implement it.
  • Goals are:
    • run composer once during CI on master, build output to mediawiki/vendor, use vendor repo for wmf branches
    • handle WMDE extensions the same way we handle other extensions (they depends on composer autoloader generation)
  • Bryan busy enough. Kunal probably as well. Thus we are looking for a champion, should it be in our team? else whom?

Agreed Greg to reach Bryan/Kunal and find a strategy to have some people to own the composer/dependencies

Weekly Triages

Setup

edit
  • Continuous Integration (Antoine)
    • Doing Tuesday mornings at 7am Pacific. Antoine: might shift it to better accomodate SF, depends on familly though
  • Deployment-Systems Proposal: Mondays 10:50-11:20am Pacific (after deployment cabal) +1
    • Doing during the weekly deployment systems working group meeting? - just realized beta-cluster and deployment systems are two separate meetings? can we combine those?
      • Agreed: up to meeting participants
  • Beta-Cluster
  • Browser-Tests
    • Dan+Zeljko: 8:30am Pacific on Wednesdays (post Hackathon)
    • From our CI weekly meeting, feel free to tag JJB related tasks with #Continuous-Integration-Config
