Agenda

  • Coverage
  • PS Standard
  • PRs
  • IoT
  • Editor Services
  • Script Analyzer
  • SSH

Notes

  • Joey has been working on coverage with module owners across Microsoft
    • Azure PowerShell already making good progress with AzureRm.NetCore module
    • Starting conversations with Windows/Office including AD, AAD, Exchange, and others
    • No promises or ETAs, but we are making progress!
  • PS Standard 5.1 preview out by end of Feb - https://github.com/powershell/powershellstandard
  • Question was asked about hosting PSCore
  • Joey talked about breaking down the monolith and separating into components - help being an example
    • dev tools pack, mixed feelings (Microsoft "picking a winner")
  • PR backlog: we know it's important, and we'll get to it
    • Merge privileges for community maintainers?
    • We think it makes a lot of sense, definitely an eventual desire, so we'll talk internally
  • Windows Update for PSCore
  • Get-PSUpdate cmdlet - we should have this, question is with the implementation (Update-PSCore)
    • PRs always welcome 😄, also Chocolatey was mentioned
    • maybe a NuGet feed of Chocolatey packages that are MS blessed for installing pwsh and similar apps
    • We'll talk about this internally, but no promises
  • SCCM or Intune for a fleet of macbooks - tell SCCM team on UserVoice
  • Script Analyzer update
    • All PRs are dealt with in some way
    • Getting PSSA consistent with other PowerShell repos
    • New release soon
    • Added new maintainer
    • We should look at the rules again
      • For targeting specific editions/versions/platforms, for example:
        • Now: goes back as far as v3 (but not 100% fleshed out)
        • Future: not going to work on a particular OS, actually fleshed out
    • Question: Why C# is the only language a rule can be merged in as
    • PSSA will have more features
  • IoT module being worked on by Andrew and Tyler
    • not open-sourced yet
    • conservative (i.e. worst case) ETA: "probably a couple of months"
    • Module for messing with GPIO and sensors
    • Possibly demo or video coming up showing some lights and water pumps working
  • Editor Services
    • 1.6.0 release coming soon
    • Patrick working on PSReadline within VS Code
      • Roughly targeting 1.7.0 for release of this
    • Talking more at MVP Summit, as well as PowerShell Summit NA in April
  • SSH
    • Git for windows using own SSH
    • Question: What will having SSH in win32 mean for updates via chocolatey?
    • Win32-OpenSSH ships as a "Windows Feature on Demand" on by default can be removed
    • Available in Desktop, Server, Server Core
    • Recommendation from Darwin
      • should be off by default
      • worry about systems that already have SSH (other implementations) installed
    • Joey will get in contact with Darwin to get more feedback <-
    • Tough balance between making it easy to access and not breaking people
      • system32 is (mostly) immutable, and upgrades old goes to Windows.old, you get that with everything (Windows Update)
  • docs: refactored table of context
    • need feedback
    • will port over remaining MSDN docs to docs.microsoft.com
  • PSReadLine 2 in PSCore
    • 6.1? maybe
    • PSReadLine 2.0 very likely going to Windows PowerShell
