Ok so Google Docs sucks and I can't give you the 'summary link' |
2 |
because it wants people to sign in and that is crap! But I can discuss |
3 |
the results: |
4 |
|
5 |
37 people responded (met my expectations) |
6 |
|

Most developers mentioned that they had sufficient CPU and RAM to do |
8 |
their duties. What they would like to see are more prebuild stages (3 |
9 |
& 4) for more fancy setups. Downloading a nice shiny bsd stage4, or a |
10 |
hardened stage4, might be nice. Prebuilt VM images would also be nice. |
11 |
I promise to talk to releng about this; I hope we can use some of the |
12 |
new hardware to do more stages; afaik releng is a bit constrained |
13 |
resource-wise at the moment. |

#1 request: wiki |
16 |
#2 request: Other (primarily git) |
17 |
#3 request: code review tool |

I figured I'd give some brief updates on these items. |
20 |
1) We have a wiki deployment in beta. It exists, I have an account |
21 |
there; we have folks adding content to test. Expect to hear more about |
22 |
this soon. |
23 |
|
24 |
2) The gentoo-scm list has good coverage of the git migration; but I |
25 |
will briefly summarize. We would prefer to have git signing ready |
26 |
before we switch. Patches have been written and we hope for them to be |
27 |
merged soon. There are some other bits that are not really blockers |
28 |
but are still up in the air. These are mostly related to workflow |
29 |
(branching? merging? how does that work </clownmeme>) I expect these |
30 |
things to get figured out once deployment is actually completed. There |
31 |
is also some work around keyrings and tree verification to do. |
32 |
|
33 |
3) Code Review tool: A lot of folks want gerrit. Gerrit uses Java. |
34 |
Infra no likely java (java..not so secure.) I am working on a demo for |
35 |
another tool (reviewboard); if it sucks I will give gerrit a try. If |
36 |
you have used reviewboard I'd be happy to hear your experiences |
37 |
offlist. |
38 |
|
39 |
I'm happy that there is some progress on each of these items. I don't |
40 |
want to provide delivery dates but I will try and stay on top of them |
41 |
and post updates as we make progress. |
