Hi, Here's the summary of the IRC meeting.
--- COMMUNITY MEETING Place: #openvpn-meeting on irc.freenode.net Date: Wednesday 30th October 2019 Time: 11:30 CET (10:30 UTC) Planned meeting topics for this meeting were here: <https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Topics-2019-10-30> Your local meeting time is easy to check from services such as <http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock> SUMMARY cron2, lev, mattock and rozmansi participated in this meeting. --- Talked about the OpenVPN 2.4.8. Cron2 will tag it ~13:00 CET after which mattock will start the release machinery. The release process will probably be 100% done tomorrow. Merged the final pending tap-windows6 PRs. This means that the installer bundled with OpenVPN 2.4.8 will be the same as was released earlier as a test installer. Decided to postpone merging the NCP/fragment patch as cron2 has had issues reproducing the problem. [Earlier today decided to bundle OpenSSL 1.1.0 and upgrade to 1.1.1 in 2.4.9 which is due at / after hackathon] -- Mattock will probably make the Windows "buildslave" a real buildslave, as in: "connected to the buildmaster". And do the same with the Debian package builder (sbuild_wrapper) instead of using home-grown Git polling, locking, etc. routines. This should not require major refactoring of the current Buildmaster configuration. -- Noted that pushing to SF.net OpenVPN "master" branch is broken. Cron2's support request was declined. Mattock will open an official one to get SF.net support's attention. -- Lev sent a small patch to enable Travis-CI for Visual Studio builds. He'd like it to get review so that we don't accidentally break those builds. -- Noted that we should do some brainstorming: - t_client tests: figure out which branch we are in (they fail on 2.4) - resolvctl: do we want to bundle scripts for it (e.g. for arch linux) -- Noted that (due to hackathon) there won't be a meeting next week. -- Full chatlog attached.
(12:32:03) cron2: heelow (12:32:06) mattock: hello (12:32:15) lev__: guten tag (12:32:23) rozmansi: hi (12:33:19) mattock: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Topics-2019-10-30 (12:33:20) vpnHelper: Title: Topics-2019-10-30 – OpenVPN Community (at community.openvpn.net) (12:34:45) cron2: updated (12:36:09) mattock: okeli dokeli (12:36:18) mattock: 2.4.8 - what is missing (12:37:11) cron2: I have one patch on my list, and that's the NCP/fragment fix - but I currently can not reproduce the problem at all ("release/2.4/HEAD without the patch behaves *exactly* the same as master with the patch") - so I might postpone that (12:37:15) cron2: everything else is in (12:37:32) cron2: version.m4, changes.rst, ChangeLog, tag, push :) (12:37:57) cron2: any other patches that need to go in that I forgot about? (12:38:20) mattock: did the other tap-windows6 PR get ack? (12:38:59) rozmansi: not yet AFAIK (12:39:08) cron2: which one? (12:39:21) mattock: https://github.com/OpenVPN/tap-windows6/pull/84 (12:39:24) vpnHelper: Title: Introduce TAP adapter as a virtual device by rozmansi · Pull Request #84 · OpenVPN/tap-windows6 · GitHub (at github.com) (12:39:47) rozmansi: thou JJK and Rogier tested it and reported it fixes HP laptop issue (12:39:54) mattock: yep (12:40:51) cron2: I thought the HP laptop issue was in something we already merged (12:41:09) rozmansi: cron2: it was a combination (12:41:28) rozmansi: it's not until this last PR is in that it fixes it finally (12:43:14) cron2: well, it got some testing, nobody complained, so let's put it in... (12:43:17) rozmansi: Surfnet would like to deploy OpenVPN (via eduVPN client) to a university in Netherlands that is using this kind of HP laptops exclusively and they would love to get this PR merged and published ASAP. (12:44:56) cron2: seems that just happened... so we now need to bump the version numbers in the tap6-windows repo accordingly (12:45:03) rozmansi: I don't see what could possibly go wrong. But it's a big world out there and TAP-Windows6 adapters has been marked as physical Ethernet NIC for a long long time. (12:45:26) mattock: we'll know soonish :) (12:45:50) cron2: mattock1: the driver out there is exactly what is in the repo now, right? (12:45:52) mattock: the to-be-released driver will be identical to the test driver then (12:45:55) mattock: yes (12:46:04) lev__: cron2: that fragment/ncp stuff was fairly easy to reproduce, let me try now (12:46:06) cron2: so we can keep the version number? (12:46:09) mattock: yes (12:46:28) cron2: lev__: that is what I thought :-) but 2.4 and master are behaving absolutely identically in my --fragment test setup (12:47:24) lev__: cron2: have you looked at those steps https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/1140 (12:47:26) vpnHelper: Title: #1140 (mssfix appears to be broken with NCP) – OpenVPN Community (at community.openvpn.net) (12:47:41) cron2: lev__: yes (12:48:03) cron2: mattock1: please push the version number update to the repo, then :-) (12:48:21) mattock: cron2: will do (12:48:55) cron2: this somewhat sounds like the totally anticlimatic end of a long journey... (12:51:15) cron2: ok, tap6-windows done :-) - anything else for 2.4.8? (12:51:24) cron2: mattock1: when do you need the tagging? (12:52:54) mattock: is around 13:00 your time ok? (12:53:44) mattock: the sooner I can start the various builds the better of course (12:54:20) cron2: 1300 is doable if I either can get lev__s patch sorted out quickly or we decide to postpone (12:56:47) mattock: ok, no rush - it is unlikely that I could do the full release process today (lots of stuff in the evening plus toddler duty after that) (12:56:57) mattock: but if I could build the stuff today that'd be nice (12:58:00) cron2: working on Changes.rst (12:58:03) cron2: anything noteworthy? (12:58:23) mattock: not from my end - there's lots of windows stuff but that goes elsewhere (12:58:44) lev__: cron2: I just reproduced it (12:59:02) lev__: (and ncp-disable fixes those) (12:59:24) cron2: lev__: so what did you do, exactly? (12:59:45) lev__: actually, I reprodeuced the problem (IP fragmentation), haven't tried the patch yet (12:59:46) cron2: as I said, my release/2.4/HEAD build produces exactly the same MSS values as master (13:00:34) cron2: my test is "look at the MSS values in tcpdump and in openvpn log output", and I cannot see a difference there (13:07:11) mattock: ok, so how shall we proceed with this? (13:07:33) cron2: we agree that you shall have your tag at 1300, in 53 minutes :-) (13:07:50) cron2: Lev__ is testing the MSS stuff, but we merge that afterwards for 2.4.9 if we better understand what is happening (13:07:51) mattock: ok, was referring to the discussion between you and lev (13:07:59) mattock: that is enough for me (13:08:00) cron2: that got moved to query (13:09:06) mattock: off one thing I want to add completely unrelated to 2.4.8 (13:09:29) ***cron2 listens :) (13:09:30) mattock: I'm thinking that instead of bringing back the "Windows buildslave" as-is, I will make it a buildslave, but just with a different build logic (13:09:45) mattock: same with sbuild_wrapper which I use to build deb release packages (13:09:56) mattock: buildbot would handle queuing, git monitoring, etc. (13:10:03) cron2: all I care is "if I break mingw building, I want to know right away" - so how the machine works, I do not need to know (13:10:13) cron2: (and we should have the windows snapshot builds back on the download site) (13:10:17) mattock: yes, it would just trigger openvpn-build just like openvpn-windows-buildtest did (13:10:47) mattock: we'd see build status in the buildbot ui as a bonus (13:10:57) cron2: nice (13:11:15) mattock: should be doable without major refactoring of buildmaster config (knock on wood) (13:12:21) mattock: anything else for today? (13:12:25) cron2: oh, something else I want to mention while I have people's attention... (13:12:41) cron2: pushing to sourceforge is broken - I can push to release/2.4 but not to master because a broken git lock is lying around (13:12:58) cron2: their support tells me "please contact the project if you have questions about openvpn"... silly dimwits (13:13:06) mattock: ugh (13:13:16) cron2: no problem for 2.4 release, but something to keep in mind when fetching master (13:13:58) mattock: do you have console output I could see and copy to the SF.net support ticket "from the project"? (13:14:07) mattock: I can open one right away (13:14:19) cron2: sure (13:14:49) lev__: "anything else for today" I've sent a small patch which adds MSVC to travis build, would be nice to get it reviewed (13:15:02) lev__: this will help us not to break VS builds (13:15:08) cron2: coming over query (13:15:10) cron2: yes (13:17:17) cron2: pushing 2.4.8 to the buildbot repo... if they are happy, I'll tag and push to the official repos (13:17:51) cron2: ah, mattock1: have you seen my request in #openvpn-devel to remove 4 dead buildslaves? (13:18:25) mattock: yes (13:18:33) mattock: I'll tackle that as well (13:19:01) cron2: thanks. Buildbot is lazy today :) (sometimes it picks up new pushes "right away", sometimes it takes a few minutes) (13:19:18) mattock: lazy is by design (13:19:31) mattock: there is a "wait if new commits arive" timeout there (13:19:31) cron2: anyway - 2.5 "nothing much has happened", except that I'm glueing my test server infra back together, so I can use that for TAP/VLAN tests "soon" (13:20:02) cron2: mmmh, it's a pity dazo is not here (13:20:54) cron2: we have t_client tests currently that fail on 2.4 ("not implemented yet") but pass on master - and I want to make things conditional in t_client.rc... so an easy way to figure out "which git branch are we in" would be appreciated... (13:22:37) cron2: but maybe I can just tackle that next week (13:22:43) cron2: so (13:22:50) cron2: pull-resolv-conf/client.up (13:22:58) cron2: this is a script for linux to get DNS info into place (13:23:10) cron2: and it fails on Arch linux because they do not use "resolveconf" anymore but "resolvectl" (13:23:22) mattock: the joys of new systemd components (13:23:28) cron2: which seems to be the new and all improved systemd way to do things in a new way (13:23:31) cron2: yes (13:24:14) cron2: I could care less about all these newfangled Linux inventions, but unfortunately two colleagues @ customer have decided to use Arch for their home laptops, and now my openvpn configs I give them are failing (no DNS, and split DNS in use)... (13:24:49) cron2: so, brainstorming session :-) - do we want to have this in our repos? eworm says "arch does not add scripts, they just pack what openvpn upstream ships" (13:27:08) mattock: ok noted (13:29:38) mattock: 1 minute left :) (13:29:43) mattock: done? (13:30:00) cron2: yeah... no meeting next week thursday (13:30:19) mattock: good point (13:30:39) cron2: but long meeting next week friday :-) - looking forward to see you all again (13:30:51) rozmansi: same here :) (13:31:09) mattock: likevise! (13:31:13) mattock: summary almost out
