Late to the party, had to make a 20º C trip and overcome a bad cold :).

That being said, a warm welcome to those who want to get involved!
A couple notes on, well, last week's notes.

A note on that: for archival reasons, it would be interesting to have
installers work "forever" (meaning for as long as it's viable); not just
until EOL.

Thank you! I had somewhat neglected those. A wiki is a much better place
for that. Will take again a good look :).

Good work, sorry I hadn't commented on your thread about that, so I'll
do it here: pretty much totally agree with you: ascii should go out as
soon as viable, I think we've made progress compared the moment jessie
was released, so it's not a matter of "just doing the same".
Even if not definitive, ascii development time has seen steps towards
the distro goal.

I'm glad to see a mention of buildbot, had been reluctant to mention it
myself :). It *is* an interesting alternative to jenkins which could
simplify the setup.
As a bit of a tangential side note: buildbot uses Twisted. I have a
couple tickets to review over there.



I should add a couple things which we can either discuss here or in this
week's meet:

TLS Certificates
================
The past few days there have been some monit alerts, I want to follow up
on those to make sure we solve the root issue, not just the symptom.

Devuan.www
----------
Manually restarted nginx last week so that the new cert is used.
Today, certbot call was adapted as per KatolaZ email on July 17th 2017,
so that the *used* cert never expires.
The call should look like:
/path/to/script/certbot-auto renew --no-self-upgrade --post-hook
"/etc/init.d/nginx restart"

packages.devuan.org
-------------------
Someone (Centurion_Dan?) restarted nginx there. Disaster avoided for
now. However: was the call to certbot modified so it doesn't happen
again in 60 days? (see above)

webstats.nexlab.net
-------------------
I am guessing only nextime has access there; can someone ping him about
this? I could try, but I'm afraid it'd be in vain :). The cert expires
on the 17th of this month.
While on this topic, we should probably move this to a devuan-specific
server. I have a couple piwik instances running, so I could help set
that up. It's no mystery though, anyone can move this forward if there
is a dns name and a basic web setup with PHP.
However, I do raise a question: do we need this at all? Do we use
it/check it? How often? Who has access to it? *is it useful for Devuan?*
