Lemmy: Devuan has a fediverse group!
https://fed.dyne.org/c/devuan

(DelTomix) setto explained how the fediverse group functions like
something between a mailing list and IRC, has a decentralized design,
and might be a great way to communicate.

DelTomix
--------

Discussed with rrq about improvements to the installer-iso build
process:

- Employing a consistent branch and versioning strategy to make
better sense of versions when transitioning to unstable, while
maintaining the ability to update stable.

- A tag strategy to source version numbers automatically, and to
invoke published builds with annotated tag. (Test builds such as #.#.#-
rc# stay as 'lightweight' tags for local only (unpublished) builds)

- Automating the build trigger on the publish server using cron to
check tags and initate builds when an annotated tag is pushed, and
maintaining a parseable build log to reliably track and assess when a
build should be invoked.

- Best entry point for triggering torrent server to update files,
generate .torrent, and initiate seeding. (final step to trigger is
publication of gpg signing)

All-together this eliminates manual version number updates (across
several scripts), manual cron enable/disable and git pull on publish
server, manual torrent creation/seeding/magnet link sharing, and
improves mantainability of the installer-iso build system (including
release metadata). A build is thus triggered simply by pushing an
annotated tag with defined release notes format to the appropriate
commit, and then only the gpg signing needs manual interaction.

New Actions
~~~~~~~~~~~

Setto will now be handling meeting/pad coordination for bgstack15. For
reference:

- Each week, an invitation with a new pad link is published to
#devuan-dev IRC and devuan-dev mailing list, a day or two before the
meet time.

- A couple of days after the meet: The notes from the meet are
published in devuan-dev mailing list.

- This particular meet needs the pad link published to IRC since it
was not announced so others can input if needed.
