Discussion

• https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T177868
  • e.g. on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/blubber/+/494532
  • Feedback feedback
  • git tags don't really offer any feedback (they don't go through code review, so there's nowhere to give it)
    • Maybe put this as comments on Diffusion? (eurgh)
  • tags also fail the build
    • TODO Fix this

• Blubber changes before v3 -> v4?
  • termbox already using artifact syntax https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/wikibase/termbox/+/master/.pipeline/blubber.yaml#39 (cf: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T212189 )
  • doc update needed (after v3 change): https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Blubber
  • TODO: Tyler to make a task for repos to update.
  • Dan: We could almost be at 1.0 at this point.
  • ( discussion ensues )
  • Tyler washes hands of this.
  • Tyler denies any shady deal, it wasn't him, and we can't prove it

• Blubber install heapdump/gc-stats for node production
  • https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/blubber/+/492922
  • Makes blubber a little less generic
  • cf: pandoc-filters
  • Should this be done in a base image?
  • this could be complicated since there is no npm in the base production image
  • liw: seems to make this would break Blubber's architectural integrity, which would be bad
  • TODO: Discuss at Thursday meeting
  • TODO: Dan to reply on patch
