Release Status and Work Updates

Meeting Topics

  • Progress on CI/CD to create a release "identical" to the current release – indy-node, indy-plenum, indy-crypto, token-plugin; sovrin-node
    • Kevin - tests are still failing in indy-plenum; now indy-node tests failing because of mismatched version in Github Actions
    • Wade - cleared out space/docker images on Jenkins build machines that enabled tests to run
  • Next release of indy-node per Richard
    • Evernym can help to get to 20.04 vs. 18.04
      • Should work on a 20.04 branch
    • Alexandr K - working on Jenkins pipeline; needs to ask others to start pipelines.  Work with Wade. 
  • Request for indy-sdk release - discussion of progress
    • Streamlining – building and deploying indy-node from scratch vs. from a more complete image.
    • Things are in good shape.  indy-node docker image issue fixed by Sergey.  Wade cleaned up a lot in the pipelines.
    • Expecting now the build to work and if so testing can start.
  • PR  to add a project status to Indy SDK
  • Upgrade testing pre-Sovrin release 
    • Issue – Network is in Evernym AWS infrastructure, but others cannot access it.
    • Several technical solutions are probably possible, but not clearly understood.
    • Evernym will give access to specific people (Wade Barnes) to use the cluster for upcoming releases.
    • We need a long term solution.
  • Proposal to include fees transactions as part of Indy Core, which could be leveraged by a plugin
    • Simplifies maintaining Sovrin MainNet
    • Does not tie to a specific payment implementation
    • Would require a change to the Indy HIPE related to fees.
    • Would move a concept from the "Generic Indy Token HIPE" into core Indy.
    • No concerns with adding the concept of Fees, but ambivalence about whether it will be valuable in the short term.
