Dev Meeting Transcript (November 19, 2021)

[9:08 AM] Tron: I will not make it to the dev meeting this afternoon. I will catch up with it later. As always, email me at [tron@ravencoin.foundation](mailto:tron@ravencoin.foundation) if you have questions.

[4:00 PM] kinkajou (SegWit Clique): Channel open.

[4:01 PM] fdov: Hello.

[4:01 PM] LSJI07 – BWS: Hi

[4:01 PM] Hedger: Hello

[4:01 PM] V4QU1T4: 👋

[4:02 PM] LSJI07 – BWS: What is the news on the release. Any progress?

[4:03 PM] fdov: Waiting for reviews of the current PRs. Some of them should be included imo. I made most of them, so I can't review and approve.

[4:04 PM] fdov: Once that part is done, I guess we just need to decide when to start counting for p2sh-asset activation. Update translations, tag and build binaries.

[4:06 PM] LSJI07 – BWS: Imo just aim for the end of the year. Give a month ish to get people swapped over.

[4:07 PM] LSJI07 – BWS: before the count starts.

[4:08 PM] LSJI07 – BWS: is the window revision set? 21600 or something else?

[4:08 PM] CallMeRichie: Hi all, Tron invited me today.

[4:08 PM] LSJI07 – BWS: 20160 apologies.

[4:09 PM] fdov: I made the PR for the change, yes. – waiting for reviews and approvals

[4:09 PM] LSJI07 – BWS: Greetings! CallMeRichie

[4:09 PM] fdov: https://github.com/RavenProject/Ravencoin/pull/1124

[4:09 PM] CallMeRichie: Thanks!

[4:14 PM] fdov: We probably need to have a discussion wrt. start counting time. Personally I would say minimum a month after release. If 1124 is approved, activation won't happen for about another month.

[4:16 PM] LSJI07 – BWS: 14 day voting window plus 14 day lockin period Im happy with as a minimum.

[4:17 PM] fdov: I also plan to try to copy bitcoins guix-build-system for us. That way we can build our own versions and compare signatures, much like gitian but better.

[4:19 PM] fdov: I'm working on that right now.

[4:22 PM] kinkajou (SegWit Clique): I'm assuming you also still need help with testing? Anything people reading this later might want/need to know in order to help with that?

[4:22 PM] fdov: Yes, of course. 👍

[4:23 PM] Someone_2: What if you don't have a github account? And you're a lay person 🙂 ?

[4:25 PM] fdov: Most of the testing tasks are simple, like install the newest binary (or build your own) and test one or more of the features. Comment something like "It started and the boxes worked as expected", nothing fancy needed . I'm pretty sure most of the features work. But it's nice to have more people verify before we make a release. Once I get like 3-ish confirms on each task I'm happy. Overview: https://github.com/fdoving/RavenStash/blob/main/testing-4.7.0test.md

[4:25 PM] Someone_2: (but a confident and seasoned lay person)

[4:26 PM] fdov: Someone_2 Well, All testing, even non documented testing, helps. Personally I would like comments on github. If you're a seasoned lay person you'll manage to make a github account.

[4:29 PM] fdov: If you for some reason do not want a github account, feedback from testing can be posten in ravenqt-sig-working – please @ me and link to the github-issue listed in https://github.com/fdoving/RavenStash/blob/main/testing-4.7.0test.md for the feature you're testing. I will probably screenshot or copy your feedback and post it on github to document the testing.

[4:40 PM] CallMeRichie: Nice to meet everyone. I plan to go through your github projects to see if I can assist in any way. Gotta run!

[5:04 PM] kinkajou (SegWit Clique): I will close the channel shortly if there are no other questions for the core devs.
