[Toaster] Toaster weekly call notes (18th February 2015)

[Barros Pena, Belen]

We were: David, DaveL, Mihail, Alex, Paul, Michael and Belén

WEEKLY UPDATE

The big news is that Dave Lerner is joining us once more until the end of
the release. Welcome back, Dave! :)

David: fixes to the configuration page are in, and sent patches for review
for the 2 features assigned to him (the unsupported feature page and the
all projects table). Working on defects next.

Belén: reviewing implementation work, and looking into designs for 6838
(allow users to submit error reports to errors.yoctoproject.org). We are
still discussing if it's worth doing in this release: we should make a
decision soon. I've also redesigned the navigation of the projects
section, but after reviewing the changes the development team concluded
that they will require splitting the build and analysis modes into
separate applications, so the work will be done in 1.9.

Alex: worked on page display performance enhancements, improving the data
logging rate and also did some work on the downloads capability and other
small bugs.

Michael: reviewing some security issues and working through his bug list

Scott: a new version of the manual is out. Got comments from Michael and
Belen, and Alex sent a power point with loads of information that he is
looking into adding right now. There are still some holes, that he's
marked with notes in the manual. Please look at those and contribute as
needed

Mihail: up to date in all features submitted.

Paul: nothing to report

OPENS

Enhancements status: of the 5 enhancements that were to be submitted
before cut off date, 6483, 6682 and 6835 are in progress review; 6755 and
7302 are resolved. We should make it on time to be merged for M3. Well
done, everybody!

Bug list: Belén will get in touch with Dave Lerner to suggest some issues
from that list. We also spoke about prioritising  7223 and 6775. Belén
will talk to Paul Eggleton to bump those to medium+

Toaster QA report: Alex sent a link to the Toaster QA report

https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/WW06_-_2015-02-03_-_Full_Pass_1.8_M2.rc2
#Test_Run_Summary_Report

And explained that Toaster is the only component of the project causing
trouble, which is not making us any friends ;) This is due to the way the
QA report weights the bugs, so Alex is going to prioritise the issues
listed in that report to bring us back to green. The good news is that a
whole bunch of them are already resolved or in progress review, and a
couple of them were enhancements, not bugs (I've changed them), and they
are against the 1.9 release (not 1.8), so they should disappear from the
next report.

ELC demo: we still haven't confirmed if there will be a Yocto Project
booth at ELC (David will speak to Lieu to find out), but we have been
accepted to the technology showcase session, so we need to have a demo
ready in any case. We agreed that it would be nice to show Toaster
actually building stuff, and since we cannot rely on connectivity there,
the easiest way is probably setting up Toaster in a beefy laptop using an
SQL database instead of sqlite and building from shared state. Dave Lerner
mentioned he has a laptop we might be able to use. We might also send the
NUC with Paul Eggleton with a database full of data that people can use to
check the analysis functionality.
