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 and@Ryan Marsh

    • Making good progress, but blocked because there isn't a pipeline.

    • Draft of pipeline based on PR1505 : https://github.com/udosson/indy-plenum/tree/gha-ubuntu-20.04/.github/workflows

  • 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.
