Blockers:

Kushal

Yesterday: Started working #3064, attended sprints meeting.

Today: Fixed the test errors for #3064, review found more missing update, will fix those.

Blockers: None

Loic

From Gitter: "I will miss the standup/engineering meeting today. I scheduled an i18n AMA, did some UX related work, kept working on i18n_tool and discussed with GSoC applicants."

Mickael

Yesterday: Writing aobut the Signal CLI branch. Finalized and tested PR for install time removal of vanilla kernels.

Today: Looked at build process. Would really like anyone who reviews it to pay close attention to the way that it is built, especially the sandboxing of Java. A little concerned - not entirely confident that the right move would be to do it right now.

Blockers: None

Extended discussion

Board review

Pending PRs

Issue triage

Other discussions

Package is a fork of libsignal - pretty much a one person team. Simply doing device management, no change or modifications to any code that does transmission of code or encryption. Java dependency might induce operational/security issues.

OpenJDK 7 is EOL in June 2018. Using OpenJDK 8 would introduce a lot more complexity.

Would prefer to have stricted sandboxing than there is now.

Building/packaging: need gradle. Pulls all the dependencies from the net. Can't build gradle from source without using the gradle binary. Five additional dependencies.

Conclusion: defer work other than testing for now until Xenial migration

  • Mozilla Sprint discussion

Conclusion: positive opportunity, but date conflict with 0.7 release is problematic for anything more ambitious than i18n sprint. Happy to support i18n as an experiment though
