|
||
| ## Minutes | ||
|
|
||
| ### suggestion: investigate a commit-queue solution [#705](https://github.com/nodejs/build/issues/705) | ||
|
|
||
| - Refael: Inspired by chromium project, thinking that automation team is a great | ||
| time to get involved. | ||
| - Refael: How can we help with all the prior art? | ||
| - Refael: Involve the automation team to make building easier to maintain. | ||
| - Rod: Alexis and Joao were leading the charge before | ||
| - Rod: If we’re going to do this, it has to be exclusive, so it has to work | ||
| properly. | ||
| - Refael: Release branches should easy as they are exclusive, so good POC. | ||
| - Refael: Propose to have a clone of Jenkins. | ||
| - Gibson: Have a way to test and build pipelines | ||
| - Refael: Should do what's faster | ||
| - Rod: I’d rather use pipelines | ||
| - Gibson: +1 on pipelines for new projects. | ||
|
|
||
| ### tmp dir needed on ubuntu 1604 and fedora23 [#873](https://github.com/nodejs/build/issues/873) | ||
|
|
||
| - Gibson: I think this is symptomatic of a larger issue, how many people are | ||
| actually confident in running automation? | ||
| - Refael: Part of the problem is that you need the Jenkins secret to run the | ||
| current Ansible scripts | ||
| - Rod: For me the biggest problem is how to prioritise the work queue, and I | ||
| think the Github project is a good start | ||
| - Michael: Part of the problem is that we’re mid migration between ansible | ||
| scripts | ||
| - Refael: I think it’s a combination of the two | ||
| - Rod: Prioritize what’s important and what is urgent. | ||
| - Michael : Encourage people to get involved and contributing. | ||
|
|
||
| ### assert node can be compiled as static / dynamic libraries [#879](https://github.com/nodejs/build/issues/879) | ||
|
|
||
| - Michael: Two choices, single platform or working platform set | ||
| - Refael: V8 linux running nightly, but another one running daily, of which is | ||
| breaking (V8 Linux Fedora 24 | ||
| (https://ci.nodejs.org/view/All/job/node-test-commit-v8-linux-fedora24/ )). | ||
| - Gibson: could you raise that as an issue? | ||
| - Michael: Important to separate V8 issues from build issues | ||
| - Refael: Sustain decision to just get it working | ||
|
|
||
| ### Have Rod walk rest of build team through Cloudflare setup [#915](https://github.com/nodejs/build/issues/915) | ||
| - Rod: infra have access | ||
| - Rod: iojs is on the free plan, nodejs is on the business plan (iojs has some | ||
| business features). We also have a Cloudflare contact | ||
| - Rod: Security is off, don’t think we need it as we just host static pages. | ||
| Could be changed if we need to | ||
| - Rod: We serve ssl directly from them | ||
| - Rod: Only a few sites actually go through cloudflare, others are hosted | ||
| directly | ||
| - Rod: Quite a few that should be removed | ||
| - Michael: How hard is it to switch on and off Cloudflare? | ||
| - Rod: Press of a button and it bypasses. It’s instant. | ||
| - Rod: We have a wildcard SSL certificate. We could also just use Cloudflare’s | ||
| own certificates, but then we’d have to proxy through them for everything | ||
| https. | ||
| - Rod: Don’t have http strict on yet | ||
| - Rod: The only thing we turned on in “firewall” is Tor | ||
| - Rod: We do aggressive caching, and default to 4h, besides from that we use | ||
| standard configuration. | ||
| - Rod: we need to migrate of bypassing Cloudflare’s caching, we’re basically | ||
| always going through nodejs.org, because we used to collect logs. Really we | ||
| want to get Always Online to work. | ||
| - Rod: Whenever we update nodejs.org, we purge everything. | ||
| - Rod: Got IPv6 working, no complaints yet. | ||
| - Rod: Load balancing is up, and we are synced with Joyent and primarily Digital | ||
| Ocean. | ||
| - Rod: We could turn on LB on subdomains. | ||
| - Michael: What’s your normal routine for figuring out an issue if something is | ||
| broken? | ||
| - Rod: Have a look at health, there’s also an API (you’d need an API key), | ||
| then you also can query to review in detail. | ||
| - Rod: I’ve posted some details around this for people to have a look at. (You’d | ||
| need auth email and key) | ||
| - Rod: If stale content, purge everything. Figure out the issue as well, to | ||
| avoid the same issue. | ||
|
|
||
| ### doc: update intel text in providers list (meta: negotiating wording for donor descriptions & contributions) [#912](https://github.com/nodejs/build/issues/912) | ||
|
|
||
| - Michael: Still not sure about allowing companies to put taglines on there. I | ||
| guess it's worthwhile if it'll make a big difference for the companies. | ||
| - Michael: What if two companies want to make the same claims? | ||
| - Gibson: I don't think that's a problem. | ||
| - Rod: That's why it's in quotes right? | ||
| - Gibson: Take back to Github? | ||
| - All: Sure. | ||
|
|
||
| ### ansible: use gcc 4.9 on CentOS 6 [#809](https://github.com/nodejs/build/pull/809) | ||
|
|
||
| - Refael: Test general linux and ubuntu, 32 bits should be covered. Remember not to | ||
| update the release machine. | ||
| - Gibson: Okay, take back to GitHub? | ||
| - All: Sure | ||
|
|
||
| ### Make it easier for people to join the Build WG [#941](https://github.com/nodejs/build/issues/941) | ||
|
|
||
| - Gibson: Basically by extracting all the responsibilities and special accesses | ||
| out into subteams, we can make it really easy for people to get involved. | ||
| - Refack: Yeah, we'll need to make sure node-private and test keys get put into | ||
| the subteam, but +1. | ||
| - Michael: Yeah sounds like a great idea. |
