_Summary written by cehteh_
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RFCs
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
It was not clear what state
|
|
link:{ldoc}/devel/rfc.html[RFCs] have in our
|
|
documentation structure. The question was if they should, after
|
|
becoming finalized integrated into some other document or stay first
|
|
class and be referenced from other documents.
|
|
|
|
_Ichthyo_ points out that RFCs and doxygen comments alone aren't
|
|
sufficient and that there is the need for summarizing technical
|
|
documentation pages. There is agreement that we want to avoid multiple
|
|
redundant point for one and the same thing. When things evolve and are
|
|
implemented they are documented elsewhere, thus multiple places for
|
|
the same thing but at different states come up.
|
|
|
|
Conclusion
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
So we define the following procedure:
|
|
|
|
* RFC's are first class citizens, _cehteh_ already made some relevant
|
|
changes to the RFC system to provide static paths (the states are
|
|
now symlinks to a pool)
|
|
* If some more detailed design or implementation documentation arises
|
|
then it should link back to the relevant RFC's
|
|
* We add links to the RFC's themselves to link to any further
|
|
Documentation describing details thereof
|
|
* _cehteh_ will write an RFC about this Documentation workflow itself
|
|
|

Upgrade to Wheezy/GTK-3
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
*Debian 7* (wheezy) is in the freeze, we considered in the previous
|
|
meeting to bump our _reference platform_ to wheezy and by that switch
|
|
over to GTK-3.
|
|
|
|
_mfisher31_ did some work, fixing some bugs gcc4.7 pointed out and
|
|
compile Lumiera with GTK-3. There are some issues remaining:
|
|
|
|
. There is some library loading glitch, after building Lumiera won't
|
|
start but on the next boot it works fine.
|
|
. It is not clear what effort is actually necessary to switch to GTK-3
|
|
. Theming is completely different in GTK-3, only using cairo rendering,
|
|
Lumiera with GTK-3 has only the default theme right now.
|
|
. The video player widget is broken
|
|
. There is no libgdlmm3 debian package in wheezy.
|
|
|
|
Nevertheless we agree on the following...
|
|
|
|
Roadmap
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
- The devel server will be upgraded to wheezy
|
|
- Builddrone v2 will be deployed there (see below)
|
|
- The master branch will stay with GTK-2 and made compilable on wheezy
|
|
(apply the gcc4.7 fixes) and then be frozen.
|
|
- We will provide a custom gdlmm3 package as we did before
|
|
- Work progresses on GTK-3 and we merge that back to the master
|
|
branch when it is in par with what the GTK-2 looks alike already (no
|
|
regressions)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Workflow between the Master and the Documentation repository
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
There was some confusion how the master and the documentation
|
|
repository relate to each other.
|
|
|
|
We agreed on merging back and forth between in a bidirectional way,
|
|
but doing this lazy on demand.
|
|
|
|
(_cehteh_ will document this in a RFC)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Builddrone v2
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
A complete rewrite of Builddrone (a continuous integration system) is
|
|
now (almost) finished and will be deployed on our build server within
|
|
the next days. It has numerous improvements over the old one. More
|
|
information and documentation will appear at
|
|
https://builddrone.pipapo.org/ soon. Stay tuned.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Lenny for helping with the documentation and Simon for the
|
|
Logo.

Trac
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Trac is broken somehow, resetting passwords doesn't work anymore,
|
|
don't loose your cookies or you are lost. Manually resetting the
|
|
password by an admin works though. We could not figure out whats
|
|
wrong, will see next time what to do and fix it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Git Commit Message Format
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
To ease automatic processing (builddrone, quaterly news,
|
|
changelogs,..) we agreed and finalized a
|
|
link:{rfc}/GitCommitMessageFormat.html[RFC GitCommitMessageFormat]
|
|
defining some formalism about commit messages.
