Review of the iteration that has ended
Subplot milestone 31 was extended into iteration. Due to life and heat waves interfering, we were slow before, but we finished the release this time around.
This was a really important step for us because we got out a release which we want others to try. It’s now a long slog to getting people to actually try Subplot.
Review of the repositories
No in-progress MRs in any of the repositories. No spare branches in the container images or web repositories. The “Rust for subplot.md” branch remains in the subplot repository. Pipelines all looked good.
Current goal
Discussion
When reviewing the issues we tentatively put into our new goal we decided that it makes sense to only have one significant feature change per goal. We identified that both conditional/subroutine scenarios and the unification of language handling were large amounts of work and so we decided to pick only one for our new goal (2).
After discussion we chose language unification for this goal.
New definition
Subplot provides a set of libraries with identical capabilities in each of the supported languages. Python remains a supported language. Rust is promoted to supported-language status. Subplot will be tested with all supported languages. In addition, any quality of life improvements which can be done shall be done. This goal will be considered complete when a release of Subplot has been made with the unified language handling support complete.
Issue review
We reviewed all issues, from the group level: https://gitlab.com/groups/subplot/-/issues
- Subplot issue 6 we tweaked the title of the issue slightly.
- Subplot issue 20 we moved to goal 3
- Subplot issue 22 we discussed and decided what we have is “good enough” so we closed it.
- Subplot issue 74 we took out of the goal, and made someday-maybe
- Subplot issue 78 we added a relates-to Subplot issue 165
- Subplot issue 96 we removed someday-maybe, added goal 2, assigned to Lars
- Subplot issue 120 was tentatively added to this iteration
- Subplot issue 132 was changed to goal 3
- Subplot issue 177 was moved to the container-images repository
- Subplot issue 202 was put into goal 2 and assigned to Daniel
- Subplot issue 205 was put into goal 2 and assigned to Daniel
- Subplot issue 206 was tentatively added to the iteration
- Subplot issue 207 was labelled with goal 2 and tracking. We assigned it Lars and put it into the iteration with a goal of creating the sub-issues.
We then had a discussion about Subplot issue 198
We removed the active-discussion label after discussing the proposal, assigned it to Daniel, and put it into the iteration.
Plan for next iteration
We opened Subplot milestone 32 to cover this iteration. It has seven issues:
- Subplot issue 207 - Lars will split this into sub-issues. He makes no promises to actually do them though.
- Subplot issue 206 - Lars will have a go at figuring out why this is happening, again no promises.
- Subplot issue 205 - Daniel will do this because it blocks Lucas
- Subplot issue 202 - Daniel will do this because it’s daft that it happens
- Subplot issue 198 - Daniel will make a strong start on this, but can’t guarantee to have finished it.
- Subplot issue 120 - Lars will do this
- Subplot issue 96 - Lars will do this
In addition, we decided to not make a release in this iteration.
Other business
We deferred the discussion about using cargo release until Daniel has tried it on a multi-crate project.
We discussed feedback from the release.
- Feedback from Lucas was already known - nixos issues.
- Richard Maw submitted a few MRs to fix typos, which was nice (painful, but nice)
- Lare tried the tutorial which had the wrong binary names. We fixed the tutorial and are now waiting for further feedback.
- No feedback yet from Serbitar
- Feedback from Minoru (who is involved with Obnam)
https://functional.cafe/@minoru/106590524492405719(link is now dead, alas) - Nothing back from Finn as yet.
- No feedback yet from JR at the Wikimedia Foundation.
We decided that we should compile a list of new people to reach out to at the end of goal 2, and we put Russ Alberry on that list.
