Standup Notes 2019 01 10

Participants (alphabetical): Conor, Erik, Jen, Kevin, Kushal, Mike, Mickael

Agenda for extended discussion

• Xenial channel(s) apt hosting strategy

Conor: To test Xenial channel, we need to cover both SecureDrop packages & Tor. Should we have two prod & two test repos? Probably yes -- in which case we may want to convert existing repo to aptly VPS, to have consistent developer workflow.

Mike/Conor: Shift into existing apt-test repo?

Consensus:

• Fold Tor packages into apt-test repo

• Add Xenial channel to apt-test

• For all references to tor-apt on staging, we'd point to apt-test

• Xenial upgrade: Please review/comment on https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/issues/3965

Conor

Yesterday: Mostly review, circled back on the upgrade boxes with Kev. Might rebuild those given problems Kev reliably runs into.

Today: Pairing with Mickael on Apache config changes; hope to proceed with review re: PAM common-auth. Potentially review AppArmor changes

Blockers: Potentially AppArmor, Kushal mentioned adding steps to reproduce for problems he encountered
