Release Status and Work Updates

  • Indy Node
    • Functionality to remove tokens led by Richard Esplin
      • Blocked by system test dependency on sovrin.deb
      • Will split Sovrin specific tests in indy-test-automation into separate repo in sovrin-foundation org
        • Will break the Sovrin Jenkins pipelines further. Best fix is to setup GitHub Actions pipeline for Sovrin deb.
    • GitHub actions led by Kevin Griffin
      • We need a GHA pipeline for Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 20.04 so that we can test in both.
      • The Ubuntu upgrade must interoperate with the then-current 16.04 release, so that we can organize the "one node at a time" Steward OS upgrades.
    • Ubuntu 20.04 upgrade led by Robin Klemens andRyan Marsh
    • New branching model led by Wade Barnes
      • Documenting plan (HIPE?)

      • Evernym can help merge and test.

    • Next release in progress, led by Ian Costanzo Wade Barnes
      • Release done?
      • Wade needs to do some work to make sure artifact publishing happens smoothly.  May be this week, but lots on Wade.
    • GitHub actions led by Patrik Stas
    • Indy Node release needs a build of Indy SDK with freeze ledgers to do system tests. Currently blocked with publishing to pypi.
