Hi, last week, the Foundations Team and our special guest Alan had a sprint focused on porting Tails to Debian 10 (Buster).
What we did was mostly: - update the test suite: good WIP that lead to identifying regressions for which tickets were filed; we're almost there! - fix regressions identified by the automated test suite and manual test suite; this resulted in quite some work on the Debian side (uploads, unblock requests, merge requests, bug reports) - set up a workflow that allows our team to use merge requests on Salsa (Debian's GitLab) - provided guidance and proposals on the Electrum front - learned how to build GNOME Shell from upstream Git and documented it - rethought our team's task management in depth, documented new guidelines and implemented them: https://tails.boum.org/contribute/working_together/roles/foundations_team/#tasks-management The blockers we know about for releasing Tails 4.0 are tickets with priority normal or higher on: https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/projects/tails/issues?query_id=279 Next steps: - The Tails community can try nightly builds and provide feedback: https://nightly.tails.boum.org/build_Tails_ISO_feature-buster/lastSuccessful/archive/build-artifacts/ In particular, testing our Buster images on various hardware would be very valuable. We'll probably send a public call for testing soonish. - Technical writers can start updating the doc whenever they see fit. No doubt they will identify some regressions along the way :) - We'll have two remote sprints focused on Buster: one in May and another one in June. You'll all be invited to participate! - We still hope that on 2019-07-09 or shortly after, we can release a 4.0~betaN and commit to provide automatic upgrades and security support until 4.0 final is out - We'll schedule a sprint in September to finalize 4.0 and the integration of Tor Browser 9.0. - Our current best bet for releasing Tails 4.0 final is 2019-10-22. Cheers, -- intrigeri _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://www.autistici.org/mailman/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.
