Work Updates

  • Change Log

    • Only include PRs that have useful changes rather than a line for each PR

    • Either

      • Add a CHANGELOG section to each PR

      • Use a wiki page.

    • Can we keep the changelog in the wiki and not keep it in the codebase?

    • Why not have updating the change log as part of the PR?

      • There will always be merge conflicts

    • Whatever change happens will require an adjustment of habits.

    • Proposal: Make an actual change to the PR as part of the log

      • Standalone commit

      • Or as part of the changes

    • We will try this for the next release or so.

      • Someone will need to review and ensure this is being practiced.

      • Add to contributor guidelines 

  • Custom RPC endpoints plugin service

Other Business

  • Edward Mack as Maintainer.

  • CI/CD

    • Jenkins is dead.

    • Circle CI for everything.

    • It has the most scope for being faster compared to all other CI systems we have looked at

    • Working on posting build failures to rocket chat

    • All infrastructure and tooling is on HLP owned/operated

    • Zero servers owned by ConsenSys
