IrcMeetings

• Pending Buildbot PRs
  • ​Add license file (BSD-2-Clause)
  • ​Only build openvpn when changing source code or build files
    • The same mechanism can be used to do "special builds" like "only do documentation linting/validation documentation changes"
  • ​Buildbot: do not run the full test suite if smoketests fail
    • djpig's and mattock's tests indicate that it may be necessary to remove the buildmaster sqlite database (safe, but we lose history) when this change is merged - otherwise smoke tests would not run first

• Buildbot
  • Debian packaging is "ready" since a long time ago, but packages are not published anywhere
  • Discussion
    • Mattock will resume work on this
    • Mattock will do a PoC of ​aptly
      • Test if aptly would be better than freight which we have on build.openvpn.net for buildbot apt repos and/or official releases
    • Agreed that using the same GPG signing key as on build.openvpn.net makes sense

• Wiki migration
  • Xwiki and Wiki.js have been running for a few weeks now
  • Can we move on to the next step?
    • Pick one the wikis now?
    • Do more research on the wiki(s)?
    • Decide to do nothing for now?
  • Discussion
    • Wiki.js seemed to be everyone's favorite
    • Mattock will move forward with Wiki.js (unless somebody strongly objects by next community meeting)
    • A new server is required eventually, but for now Samuli can use OTF AWS account for Wiki.js testing

• Server-side testing
  • We agreed to schedule a separate meeting to think about server-side testing
  • What would be a good time?
  • Discussion
    • cron2 wasn't in the meeting, again.

• Easy-rsa in Windows installers
  • easy-rsa has included pre-built Windows binaries for a long time. But with Windows 11 they do not seem to work correctly anymore in some cases. There is a plan to switch to a current version of busybox.exe instead. But the required changes to the Windows installer raise the question whether it is actually worth the effort. Does anyone use the included easy-rsa on Windows?
  • Discussion
    • Decided to ask on openvpn-users ml and forums if people really care about easy-rsa in the Windows installers
    • Depending on feedback we might drop it from the installer
    • One alternative is to use "Windows Subsystem for Linux" which enables users to run easy-rsa in a Linux environment on Windows
• 2.6.9
  • Release was done on Monday
