[[!meta title="Iteration planning: November 6th"]] [[!tag meeting]] [[!meta date="Sat, 06 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0200"]] [[!toc levels=2]] # Review of actions from last meeting Actions from last time, and their status are: - Daniel to ask other Subplot contributors about licence change ([[!issue 229]]). **DONE** We have re-licensed. # Review of the iteration that has ended [[!milestone 39]] had the following issued closed: - [[!issue 249]] MR template claims licence is GPL - [[!issue 247]] Make release of subplot - [[!issue 245]] Release process should run audit/deny - [[!issue 229]] Licensing needs to be clarified We made no progress on: - [[!issue 242]] `subplotlib` doesn't use `build.rs` script - [[!issue 180]] Doesn't warn about unused embedded files Significant progress was made on: - [[!issue 198]] -- _Unify language handling for multi-impl-lang test suites_ Where there is now [[!mr 234]]. We moved the remaining open issues to the next milestone ([[!milestone 40]]) and then closed off this iteration. # Review of the repositories Currently open MRs: - `subplot`: [[!mr 234]] which is for [[!issue 198]] - `subplot-web`: none - `subplot-container-images`: none Extra branches unrelated to MRs: - `subplot`: none - `subplot-rust` -- Daniel is keeping this around until he has completed the work on [[!issue 198]]. - `polyglot-docs` -- Daniel is working on [[!issue 198]] here. - `docgen-cmark` -- Lars is working on making docgen use cmark rather than pandoc for the initial parse and processing. - `subplot-web`: none - `subplot-container-images`: none Pipelines: - `subplot`: clean - `subplot-web`: none - `subplot-container-images`: clean, and we triggered the one to build a new container image # Current goal (goal 2; not changed for this iteration) Subplot provides a set of libraries with identical capabilities in each of the supported languages. Python remains a supported language. Rust is promoted to supported-language status. Subplot will be tested with all supported languages. In addition, any quality of life improvements which can be done shall be done. This goal will be considered complete when a release of Subplot has been made with the unified language handling support complete. # Issue review We had 50 open issues at the start of the meeting. We reviewed non-`someday-maybe` issues for `subplot` for all issues. We made the following changes: - [[!issue 133]] _No feature table comparing scenario runners..._ was tentatively added to the milestone. - [[!issue 141]] _subplotlib: Needs better test suite_ was tentatively added to the milestone for Daniel to do further breakdown. - [[!issue 207]] _Release process is too manual..._ was assigned to Daniel and tentatively added to the milestone. - [[!issue 214]] _Lacks example and docs for Rust step functions_ was assigned to Lars and tentatively added to the milestone - [[!issue 218]] _Automatable parts of release process are too manual_ was tentatively added to the milestone and assigned to Daniel - [[!issue 221]] _Command line tool has insufficient logging_ was tentatively added to the milestone - [[!issue 241]] _./check doesn't build/test all of the workspace_ we removed the blocker issue marker, and tentatively added it to the milestone. - [[!issue 250]] _subplotlib could do with unit tests_ is part of [[!issue 141]]. - [[!issue 251]] and [[!issue 252]] are at least partially stuck because of our MSRV. - [[!issue 253]] _We depend on a crate with a GPL-3.0-or-later licence_ We expect Lars will release a new `roadmap` with MIT-0, as such once that's done, this issue will be resolved by way of an MR with a `Cargo.{toml,lock}` update. - [[!issue 254]] _Make release..._ was assigned to Daniel and put tentatively into the milestone. We left the docker-for-subplot issue alone, and subplot-web had no issues. # Other discussion - We had a discussion and agreed that goal 2 doesn't need significant QoL changes right now. # Plan for next iteration We opened [[!milestone 40]] to cover this iteration, with the following issues: - [[!issue 254]] _Make release..._ - [[!issue 242]] _`subplotlib` doesn't use `build.rs` script_ - [[!issue 241]] _./check doesn't build/test all of the workspace_ - [[!issue 218]] _Automatable parts of release process are too manual_ - [[!issue 207]] _Release process is too manual..._ - [[!issue 198]] _Unify language handling..._ (Lars is reviewing [[!mr 234]]) - [[!issue 180]] _Doesn't warn about unused embedded files_ - [[!issue 141]] _subplotlib: Needs better test suite_ - [[!issue 133]] _No feature table..._ We removed the assignments for following issues during the review/plan, but left them in the iteration just in case. - [[!issue 221]] _Command line tool has insufficient logging_ - [[!issue 214]] _Lacks example and docs for Rust step functions_ # Other business - We decided to make a release of whatever is in the `main` branch and label it 0.3.2 or 0.4.0, depending on whether it has breaking changes or not. - We are not yet ready to file an RFP bug to get Subplot packaged for Debian. It will happen after we think we won't be making breaking changes anymore. - We are not yet ready to make a whole code base review of Subplot. However we feel at least part of the new goal 3 will be reviewing a portion of the code. - We will switch an issue based agenda when other people join the meeting. - We won't be reaching out for feedback until goal 3 is done. - We will continue to work on our talk outline while waiting for the FOSDEM CfP. - If the FOSDEM talk looks suitable, we'll submit it to Rustfest too. - Regarding the `media` repository question - we believe this is premature at this point - once we are ready to write the talk mentioned above, it will be time for the repository. - Lars will be opening communications with the WMF around supporting their use of Subplot for `scap`. - We do not want to replace `./check` for now, and we do not want to drop Python support as a test language. Eventually we want to replace `./check` with something in Rust, but not in this goal. # Actions - Daniel and Lars to keep an eye on the FOSDEM CfP (30th Nov) and together decide if/where to submit a talk.
