- Mozilla wants to shut off cvs really really soon. Given we are at 5.0rc2, can we do this nowish?
- CI testing is still a 5.0 blocker.
- However, we are close enough to 5.0, which will EOL 4.0, that in the event of a security release we can, via the release notes, just point admins to the posted patches.
- We will therefore remove ourselves as a blocker to cvs decommissioning.
- mcote will announce to Bugzilla list and blog (jointly with bzr announcement; see below).
- Related, no one could think of a good reason why the docs indicate that you should "update to latest point release" before switching VCSes, so gerv will update the docs to remove that recommendation.
- Mozilla also wants to shut off bzr pretty soon. justdave has bzr.bugzilla.org nearly set up; what's left?
- bzr.b.o has been in place for a few days; just need more testing around the mirroring script.
- Once the scripts have been ratified, we should be good to go.
- Documentation for existing bzr sites will be posted to a blog, and somewhere in the upgrading docs.
- bzr switch ...
- Scheduled for April 15th.
- mcote to announce, jointly with cvs announcement, when we have verified that bzr.b.o is mirroring correctly.
- What do people think about an reST Developer's Guide? How should we go about that?
- No issues; gerv will create a repo for this and get the ball rolling there.
- We'll use a separate repo since this isn't tied to any specific version, and we don't want outdated docs around.
- Migrate getting-starting guide from current location (bugzilla.org) to rst.
- No issues; gerv will create a repo for this and get the ball rolling there.
- Regarding the postgres 5.0 blocker (bug 1138417)...
- mcote will "put a social media call out" with hashtags to see if someone can fix it.
- If not, we should totally drop the now EOL pg version that this code breaks with.
- (Update shortly after meeting: we will back the offending patch out if we can't fix it, since it's for a minor bug, and we will reapply it and EOL postgres 8 for the next major Bugzilla release.)
