13 April 2010

Continuous Integration

• We've got Hudson running our Kitsune unit test suite after every check-in!
• We're at ~80% coverage right now.
  • The Sphinx API is currently a large percentage of our code and we aren't aiming for 100% there, so until we find a way to exclude it, it will skew coverage reports downward.
  • Feel free to add tests to improve coverage. These branches don't need a bug but do need review.
• We need to work out what, if any, useful information we can get from pylint.

Kitsune - 2.0

• 13 open bugs
• Still trying to freeze on Friday—that makes this an intense week. Focus on blockers, then other P1s, etc.
• Please start testing now.
  • But note that until bug 554210 and bug 554206 land there will be issues and stack traces.
• Need to get in touch with localizers (see bug 557574).
• Note the new coding standard for templates: indent with two spaces, and include a modeline at the top of the file:

{# vim: set ts=2 et sts=2 sw=2: #}

TikiWiki - 1.5.4

• 8 bugs
• Aim to freeze on... Tuesday?
• Mostly small/simple tweaks or issues.
• If you have anything else urgent, please nominate ASAP (with 1.5.4? in the white board and a good reason in the comments).

Releases

• When should we look at pushing Kitsune?
  • Need to start talks with IT about requirements and deployment process.
• QA has suggested readiness meetings.
