* Present:
+ Thorsten, Michael W., Olivier, Stephan, Ilmari, Cloph, Hossein,
Heiko, Caolan,
Regina, Michael S., Xisco
* Completed Action Items:
* Pending Action Items:
+ perf.libreoffice.org: switch the default to the new data (Cloph)
* Release Engineering update (Cloph)
+ 24.8.0 final released today
+ 24.8.1 rc1 this week, probably tomorrow during the day
+ 24.2.6 rc2 next week
+ OK to enable MAR updater by default for 24.8.1? (Stephan)
- OK, test runs done (Cloph)
- come up with a nice web page to show after updating (Cloph)
- minor issue: if you do a multi-step update you might get
multiple web pages opening in the browser
- workaround: remove the url from the N-1 .. etc MAR files, so users
will always only see the last patch update URL (Thorsten)
- possible to role updates gradually, only to few people first?
(Hossein)
- to find possible issues, avoid heavy load
- not easy, but testing side for QA before update (Cloph)
- delay switching MAR updater notification live for a few days
(Cloph)
- assume our users & QA community would notice any catastrophic
issues quickly
(Thorsten)
- 24.2.5 -> 24.2.6 -> 24.2.7 -> 24.8.3 (or 4) planned updating
scheme (Cloph)
- already mention latest 24.8 on page shown after incremental
upate? (Cloph)
