  • Updates
    • No MW Train the week of the 20th due to Thanksgiving, SWATs will be open on Mon and Tuesday (Wednesday is “Friday” that week).
    • [TechDebt program] First pass of the service levels for component ownership was shared with the Code Health Group last week; feedback on-going.
    • [TechDebt program] The next blog post should be posted Real Soon Now™ (done on our side).
    • [SSD Program] Working on getting the mathoid tests running on submit.
    • [SSD Program] A new release of Blubber is on the horizon.
    • [scap tech debt] Working to support both pre git-2.11 and post git 2.11 hosts (namely Trusty and Jessie (with backports)/Stretch, respectively) to let us use newer functionality (notably `--jobs`).
    • [CI] Most tox jobs are moved to Docker containers
    • [CI] Investigating why many docker containers are left behind after a SIGTERM

    • Build production variant w/developer feedback - services dependency
    • Tag production container
    • Push to production docker registry - ops dependency - staging namespace
Tracking: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T157469
current status: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/2453/
  • new blubber revision in process https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/D875
    • question for marxarelli: do we need to add dependencies? Also: how do we add dependencies ;)
  • docker-pkg all the things in process (maybe fits in docker for CI work)

Program 1: Outcome 5: Objective 1: Maintain existing shared Continuous Integration infrastructure

edit
Goal: A generalized POC for a docker-based CI.
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/3008/ (shipyard workboard)
  • Process left behind after Jenkins SIGTERM "docker run". Some work in progress to relay signals, shutdown cleanly.
  • Ultimately, mightl want to do something like:
   trap 'docker stop <(cat container.id)' SIGTERM
   docker run --cidfile container.id &
   wait
  • TODO: write a blogpost about docker run and signals
  • How to ship dependencies ( libXXX-dev )


Program 1: Outcome 6: Milestone 1: Maintain Gerrit

edit
  • Volunteers are archiving mediawiki/extensions in Gerrit (marked read-only + [ARCHIVED] in description) and in CI (Zuul triggers a "failed-archived" job that always vote Verified -1). Usually each is tracked by a task.


Program 1: Outcome 6: Milestone 2: Maintain Phabricator
