SUMMARY
cron2, dazo, lev, mattock, MaxF, ordex and plaisthos participated in
this meeting.
---
Ordex told that DCO patchset is out as RFC, but will still take some
time to run more tests and to possibly gather some more external feedback.
---
Dazo is ironing out some FIPS related issues in Git master, which
impacts the dco branch as well
---
Lev has fixed pkcs11-helper for windows, which was lacking EC support.
---
Mattock is fixing some shared Puppet code to be able to use it for VMs
in community VPC. After this he will move to setting up the OpenVPN
server for buildbot use.
---
MaxF noted that one of their customer has a lawyer looking into the
MbedTLS license incompatibility issue. Plaisthos will help in this
process as well.
---
Plaisthos will review the latest version of the xkey patchset. The
current version is already in use in OpenVPN for Android.
---
Agreed that nothing is holding back the final 2.4.x release.

Full chatlog attached
(11.30.08) cron2_: good morning sunshines
(11.30.26) plaisthos: moin moin
(11.30.42) dazo: ....
(11.31.14) MaxF: hi! Now I finally put this meeting into my calendar
(11.31.55) cron2_: yeeha!
(11.32.55) MaxF: I would have forgotten it again otherwise
(11.34.06) dazo: I thought I had corrected it the few last two times .... and
came to an empty room :-P
(11.34.31) mattock: howdy
(11.36.09) dazo: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Topics-2022-01-19
(11.36.35) ordex: morgen
(11.40.12) dazo: 10 minutes .... and meeting not started .... shall we?
(11.40.37) MaxF: I'm ready
(11.40.40) cron2_: I'm here
(11.40.51) mattock: we shall
(11.41.03) mattock: sync up
(11.41.18) ordex: yap
(11.41.30) ordex: for 2.6 we are a bit behind the schedule
(11.41.44) ordex: DCO patchset is out as RFC, but will still take some time to
run more tests
(11.41.50) ordex: and possibly gather some more external feedback
(11.42.05) ordex: I have asked dazo and mattock to help me package the dco
branch so that people can easily test on their distros
(11.42.24) ordex: hopefully this will lead to some additional feedback compared
to what we got until now
(11.44.01) dazo: I'm ironing out some FIPS related issues we have in git
master, which impacts the dco branch as well .... Fedora + RHEL/CentOS has FIPS
enabled OpenSSL libraries, so it explodes currently. I can have patches for
that out pretty soonish
(11.44.38) lev__: pkcs11-helper for windows was lacking EC support, this is now
fixed and is waiting for review/test/merge
(11.44.50) lev__: but I don't know how to test it
(11.46.15) lev__: also I now have working HLK setup, just passed all required
tests for Windows 10 x64 WHCP (ex-WHQL) certification
(11.46.46) lev__: WHCP certification is optional. but with that one could push
driver into Windows Update
(11.48.30) mattock: I'm in the process of cleaning up some of Puppet code so
that it can be reused for the new community AWS setup - it is a requirement for
the actual production deployment
(11.48.56) mattock: that moves forward well, but requires some concentrated
effort
(11.49.14) mattock: once the code works for community AWS I can start setting
up an OpenVPN server for buildbot usage
(11.49.31) mattock: sorry, not really 2.5/2.6 related, though sync-up
(11.50.02) lev__: mattock: would it be possible to resurrect snapshot windows
builds
(11.50.19) mattock: yes, it will be possible with new buildbot
(11.50.38) mattock: the Windows builder code is complete and supports building
MSIs with signing and all
(11.50.40) cron2_: how's that song "wake me up when September ends"
(11.50.46) lev__: would be nice to have dco branch (or we just use ordex repo?)
with all dco-related stuff there
(11.51.06) ordex: I have pushed the dco branch to the OpenVPN repo, so that we
can build from there
(11.51.09) ordex: rather than my own repo
(11.51.11) cron2_: I've been waiting on that great new buildbot (to get rid of
my python2 stuff) about as long as for ipv6 on community... so, I'm going to
sleep a few more months...
(11.51.21) lev__: there is windows dco build, but it is very old
(11.51.31) mattock: cron2: yes, I know, all the delays
(11.51.32) lev__: build->installer
(11.51.51) mattock: I think it will be ready before next September though :)
(11.53.13) cron2_: let's hope for the best
(11.55.30) cron2_: more seriously: for 2.6 release it will be crucial to have
windows build snapshots
(11.55.59) cron2_: so people can really test stuff
(11.56.26) mattock: yes, we shall have snapshots by then
(11.57.20) mattock: keep mounting the pressure on me! :)
(11.59.21) cron2_: nah, I've given up on that and IPv6. "Wake me up when
September ends"
(12.00.14) mattock: I think you will be pleasantly surprised when that
September comes
(12.00.22) mattock: before the upcoming September
(12.00.23) mattock: anyhow
(12.00.28) mattock: anything else to discuss?
(12.00.56) MaxF: I don't have much. I made another pull request at mbedtls for
additional getter functions, but my motivation for mbedtls support in OpenVPN
is very low now with the license issue
(12.01.19) plaisthos: MaxF: understandable
(12.02.22) MaxF: oh also, our customer the NLNCSA now has a lawyer working on
the license issue! I suggested that she should get in contact on IRC, because
plaisthos idea about committers implicitly agreeing to Apache
(12.02.58) MaxF: Or could I give her your e-mail instead?
(12.03.21) mattock: I think IRC might be too much for a lawyer
(12.03.38) cron2_: nice
(12.03.48) MaxF: yeah, but I didn't want to hand out people's e-mail addresses
without asking ;)
(12.03.58) cron2_: plaisthos: have you had time to look into the xkey provider?
(12.07.52) plaisthos: cron2_: yeah it works and I went through the previous
version on Github
(12.08.02) plaisthos: just need the time to go through this version again and
ack the patches
(12.08.21) plaisthos: The current OpenVPN for Android version 0.7.33 already
uses that patch set
(12.09.09) cron2_: nice
(12.13.47) mattock: anything to add anyone?
(12.19.16) becm [~b...@55d42d57.access.ecotel.net] è entrato nella stanza.
(12.19.54) dazo: mattock: When will do the last 2.4 release? What's holding us
back there?
(12.20.02) dazo: just so we can move it to old-stable
(12.20.04) mattock: I don't think anything is really holding us back
(12.22.02) dazo: good!
(12.24.59) mattock: ok, I think we're done here :)
(12.29.54) plaisthos: MaxF: yeah you give her my email
