Transcript

0️⃣ Who is here today? Comment in the thread below to introduce yourself and tell us why you are joining us.

1️⃣ Do you have any topics to propose for the meeting today? Feel free to propose them in this thread, and then I will give them their own unique threads for discussion. Conversation moving slow? Go ahead and open your own thread in the next numeric order.

2️⃣ Security Audit - OSTIF has been informed that we have budget to proceed and is currently arranging the internal RFP with the groups they've worked with for Python and Go TUF implementations. I should here from them soon.

3️⃣ Resolving the issue of some targets being missed:https://gitlab.com/rugged/rugged/-/issues/139#note_1446410437@ergonlogic has found the likely source of the bug, so hopefully we'll have a fix soon.Drumm is now on vacation, but has given me the steps required to update and re-send the targets when that is fixed, so we can keep this moving.

4️⃣ We released 3.0.0-Alpha4 https://www.drupal.org/project/automatic_updates/releases/3.0.0-alpha4Some → things that got in#3364735: WritableFileSystemValidator does not check if the project root is writable - Found at Drupalcon:tada:#3345484: Status check error and warning summary messages do not make sense on the updater forms - Not found at Drupalcon but testers did mention that this was confusing#3365151: Update Composer Stager to 2.0.0-alpha2 to resolve a bug in the rsync file syncer#3253828: Use static analysis to detect new update functions, to reduce false positives in StagedDBUpdateValidator Huge thanks to @phenaproxima for figuring out how to do this without an extra prod dependency. Basically we don’t support DB updates on Cron updates and this stops false positives where we think there might be a DB update and don’t apply an (possibly critical security) update during cron

5️⃣ I spent some time yesterday updating the roadmap issue ( 🌱 Drupal 10 Core Roadmap for Automatic Updates Active ). I think the alpha-blockers list is pretty complete as far as what we know about: more issues might still surface as code reviews and security audits are performed.

6️⃣ There's 4 months left between now and 10.2's alpha. While it would be great to be able to have Automatic Updates releasable as a core beta experimental module in 10.2, 4 months is not a lot of time to finish all the currently listed items in that roadmap's alpha and beta lists, as well as the security audit, remediation of whatever that audit finds, and other things that get surfaced by code reviews.

7️⃣ Wanting to let people know about 🌱 [policy, no patch] Make PHP's OpenSSL extension a requirement for installing and using Package Manager (and therefore, Automatic Updates and Project Browser) Fixed . I'm going to update the title and summary to reflect the choice to require it per comment #5 and then RTBC the issue. But wanting to surface it here in case anyone else wants to offer a different perspective. Drupal has a long history of accommodating hosts that can't use SSL, so it's a pretty big deal to change away from that, but I think warranted given that GitHub requires it.
