Standup Notes 2019 12 16
Participants (alphabetical): Allie (async), Conor, Erik, Jen, John, Kevin, Kushal, Mickael, Nina, Ro
-
aptly->reprepro
- Part of work towards Buster prod channel for Workstation repo
- Unlike aptly, reprepro has out of the box support for multiple distributions + Valid-Until
- We can also potentially store the entire metadata for the repo in LFS, making workflows less infra-dependent
- Down the road, we may even be able to deprecate cron-apt
- Proposal: Migrate apt-test.freedom.press to reprepro
-
RTD setup for Workstation
-
python concurrent.futures fun - actually nvm i will discuss in #securedrop
-
IFF stuff we'll discuss in #securedrop later
-
Kushal: Check out Qt Designer video
-
