  • Talked with ops Emanuele Rocca and Brandon Black about CI of the Varnish VCL
  • Paladox is mass migrating extensions to npm entry points. Easy reviews!

[edit]

Differential Migration

[edit]
https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/diffuerential-weekly
Integrate Differential with our Continuous Integration infrastructure - task T31
Shepherd the RFC - task T119908
Garner early adopter projects (goal: 1 project per WMF "team")
  • Improved Gerrit change-id field for diffusion: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89939
  • Git-only workflow now closer, but requires a local patch we need to maintain
  • amending another person's diff without comandeering it (ie: mimicking how it happens in Gerrit)
    • just requires a one-line change in arc (so people need to clone from our arc repo to get it)
    • https://secure.phabricator.com/T10584
    • epriestley says "I filed T10584 to discuss this since I have some thoughts that aren't related to the technical approach. To briefly summarize the relevant bit from there, I don't want to add an option for this, but I don't have any technical objection to turning it into a prompt in all cases."
