SUMMARY

cron2, erict, janjust and mattock participated in this meeting.

--

Discussed tap-windows6 HLK testing. Mattock started work on the HLK
testing setup again. Based on discussion with zx2c4 and rozmansi we can
probably get away with two signature sets - cross-signed and WHQL.
Pulling that off apparently requires three different HLK clients:

- Windows Server 2019 (64-bit),
- Windows Server 2019 core (64-bit)
- Windows 10 desktop (32-bit)

Covering all these with a single signature simplifies the installer part
quite a bit. Which of these HLK client can or can't be virtual is a
mystery. The wintun driver did not require any physical HLK clients, but
tap-windows6 test scope is much wider, so nobody knows the answer.

The older Windows platforms are happy with cross-signed drivers.

--

Noted that there were no updates on OpenVPN 2.5. Also noted that
reviewing patches in Patchwork was not possible as most of the devs were
not present in this meeting.

--

Noted that the OpenVPN 2.5 mini-hackathon is on the upcoming Friday
(starts in the CEST morning).

Full chatlog attached.

(12:27:52) mattock: hi all!
(12:27:58) cron2_: mattockman!
(12:28:08) cron2_: so, how's your picknick?
(12:28:27) mattock: not that far yet, so I can be fairly present while doing 
preparations
(12:28:50) mattock: we don't have any particular agendat today: 
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Topics-2019-05-01
(12:28:52) vpnHelper: Title: Topics-2019-05-01 – OpenVPN Community (at 
community.openvpn.net)
(12:29:17) mattock: chipitsine wanted to discuss enabling cirrus-ci at some 
point
(12:29:30) mattock: I'm not opposed if it is about flipping a switch in GitHub 
and getting a bit more testing that way
(12:29:39) cron2_: I think we're waiting for a reason why we'd want that...
(12:29:58) mattock: tap-windows6 vise I started building the HLK testing setup
(12:30:31) mattock: also, based on discussion with zx2c4 and rozmansi we can 
probably get away with two signature sets - cross-signed and whql
(12:31:04) erict [b4966b98@gateway/web/freenode/ip.180.150.107.152] è entrato 
nella stanza.
(12:31:22) mattock: pulling that off apparently requires three different HLK 
clients: one Windows Server 2019 (64-bit), one Windows Server 2019 core 
(64-bit), one Windows 10 desktop (32-bit)
(12:31:32) mattock: so the installer part would be simplified quite a bit
(12:31:44) mattock: our HLK setup is not up-to-par with this yet, but we can 
make it so
(12:31:53) mattock: which of these can or can't be virtual is a mystery
(12:32:27) mattock: wintun driver did not require any physical HLK clients, but 
tap-windows6 test scope is much wider, so nobody probably has the answer
(12:32:38) mattock: that's all about tap-windows6 from my end
(12:32:55) cron2_: thanks :-) - good to hear you're making progress behind the 
scenes
(12:34:12) mattock: janjust: btw. I don't seem to have your mailing address for 
the T-shirt (in case you're here)
(12:34:25) janjust: mattock1, I will send it in private
(12:36:21) mattock: ecrist as well btw :)
(12:36:32) mattock: ok, next topic?
(12:37:15) janjust: just a quick question:  I had an off-list discussion with 
dazo & syzzer about the command line option --genkey
(12:37:26) janjust: I proposed to write a patch for it - would that be in time 
for 2.5?
(12:37:39) cron2_: the sooner the better
(12:37:48) janjust: I'll get on it
(12:37:56) cron2_: there are a number of patches waiting for a decision and 
code for that...
(12:38:13) cron2_: (the auth-token-patchset from plaisthos is one of them)
(12:38:27) erict: Hey all, just wanted to pop in and see if anyones had a 
chance to have a look at the "Send auth fail to client on reneg failure" and 
arne's auth-token patchset
(12:39:01) cron2_: erict: that's all pending and waiting for some final word on 
the --genkey bits
(12:39:15) erict: no worries, cheers
(12:39:28) cron2_: dazo and plaisthos (arne) had long discussions on that, and 
i'm not sure they settled... but both are not here today
(12:40:17) mattock: ecrist: PM me your mailing address to receive your T-shirt 
:)
(12:40:29) mattock: oh wrong person I guess, misread :)
(12:40:38) mattock: erict is probably too far from ecrist to be a typo? :P
(12:41:00) cron2_: since ecrist never makes it to a meeting, I think so :-)
(12:41:08) erict: oh was that aimed at me?
(12:41:23) cron2_: erict: only if you happen to be ecrist :)
(12:41:40) erict: I do not :)
(12:41:49) janjust: I misread his name too  :)
(12:43:21) cron2_: human reading error correction is fairly amazing
(12:43:26) mattock: indeed
(12:46:58) mattock: ok next topic?
(12:47:18) cron2_: this is going to be a short meeting :)
(12:47:36) mattock: short meeting is always a good meeting :)
(12:47:46) ***cron2_ has no update on 2.5, and none of the usual suspects are 
here to discuss patchwork...
(12:48:02) cron2_: but I stick to my plan for "this friday is reserved for 
OpenVPN work", so maybe it works out
(12:48:18) mattock: yes we must not forget
(12:48:22) mattock: I have it in my calendar
(12:48:40) mattock: I'll probably work on HLK though, but I will be available 
if anyone needs someone
(12:48:42) cron2_: cool
(12:49:43) mattock: end of meeting then!
(12:49:56) cron2_: yep :-) - see you on Friday!
(12:50:02) mattock: you too! bye all!
(12:50:08) cron2_: *wave*
(12:50:25) janjust: that was quick ;)
