Discussions and Outcomes
Done Work
- 2018-11-01: git-cacert and githb are on an up-to-date-state
- Status of development issues from last meeting:
Change from mysql to mysqli, bug-1442: Considered ready to test by GuKK
Replace each() with foreach(), bug-1444: Considered ready for testing by Peter
Replace <?= with <?php echo, included in bug-1444: Considered ready for testing by Brian
Replace <? with <?php, included in bug-1444: Considered ready for testing by Brian
Convert to new error class, bug-1448: Bugtracker issue created by Ted, no further progress reported.
Use autoloader class, bug-1446: No progress reported
Re-signed roots bug-1305: Making progress. It's now verified which files should be installed. A process how to review this has to be established. A bit of research has to be done about the problems during the re-signing ceremony, if they really block the installation (as was assumed earlier).
- A new testserver, testserver3 has been created, with Debian 9.1 and PHP 7.0. Database is running, installation and configuration of the CAcert software has still to be done.
Jan has implemented an extension for our documentation system this week that allows easy cross-referencing between source code files when documenting the code. See https://codedocs.cacert.org/building.html for our specific setup and http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/ for the tool used.
Jan documented the signer protocol, see https://codedocs.cacert.org/signer.html
Future plans
Top Priorities
- Push bugs-1442 and bugs-1444 to the (old) testserver, to verify functionality on the old OS environment
- Continue on re-signed roots
Other activities
- Continue installation and configuration of new testserver3
- Continue analysis and documentation of existing testserver
Generic discussions
Some issues on testserver configuration have been discussed. The results should show up in Software/Assessment/testserver/setup, hopefully soon!
Questions
Open Questions
Implementation of CAA |
not even started |
Get arbitration to help support |
Dirk(egal) and Ted are trying to wake up Arbitration, but that's not an easy job... |
Answered Questions
when will theCAcert root certificate signed using the SHA256 algorithm be published? |
Check bug-1305 for progress. I (Ted) consider it realistic to get them installed this year, with some luck even this month. |
Must we change to a new database-system MySQL -> MariaDB |
testserver3 is already running a database, and when I connect it it repors as "Server version: 10.1.26-MariaDB-0+deb9u1 Debian 9.1". So I guess this is not a problem. |
Are the git-repositories up to date |
jandd and Ted applied the latest tarballs of the system to gi-cacert and github |
