Igor Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Release Candidate Code Freeze Date: 2020-07-18 Release Date: 2020-08-XX Release Candidate Branch Link: TBD Release Changelog: TBD Release Coordinator: @lanefu Testing Tracking Sheet: TBD (google sheets) The goal of this thread is to discuss testing, bugfixes, and the overall quality of the release. Once the release is complete, this thread should be locked and unpinned. --- Our next release date is coming and perhaps its time to discuss what to push into 20.08, what not, resolve open questions and distract from most used keyword for past few weeks. @Myy @TonyMac32 @balbes150 @piter75 @sfx2000 @ebin-dev @count-doku @chwe @ning @lanefu @gprovost @aprayoga @5kft @JMCC @Werner @karabek @martinayotte @tkaiser @selfbg @Siraj @jock @going ... I am preparing a meeting on IRC in Saturday, July 4th, at 2 pm GMT - this is reasonable good timing for US / EU folks. Agenda: check meeting attendees (if nick is not self explanatory, add your forum/Github handle. Just say hi or something) present tasks, bugs or project you are working on (open discussion if there will not be much people, otherwise meeting officer call people out). Jira should be open in not already. cycle Jira backlog: discuss task / bug (one at a time) assign to person / release / tag re-prioritise cycle open issues and PR on build engine board status update on download pages and build engine (wip, supported, eol) choosing upcoming release officer (so far it was me and Lane) misc / open discussion Tips: when you got a voice, be concise (1-2 min) and make it clear when you stop. ("No more, I'm done") channel is recorded so a summary and adjustments to Jira can made afterwards, ideally along with the meeting Meeting location is IRC channel #armbian on Freenode. (previous session as an example) Ideally it would be that prior to this meeting we all update tasks/project statuses in Jira - who still does not have access shall PM to @lanefu or @Igor - reviewing, prioritising and releasing goes faster this way.

Just write in your native language and we will see (Google translated) translation. Detail how-to operate will be presented right before. Service is paid which is why it will only be available for meetings. Currently we are in a free testing mode and this meeting should go within, but we actually don't know ... @Werner pawned his credit card @balbes150 русский язык поддерживается Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balbes150 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Building a 6-hour kernel on an i7 is a new joke ? rk3399 builds a complete Armbian image (along with the core and other packages) in 50 minutes. Even the weak s905x2 collects the entire Armbian image in 200 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote - Is there a real need of master port or we can stick to USB2SD functinality? - OS the I2C communication with host SBC needed, or we can use USB serial mode (CDC) for that?

Lets discuss this in its own thread, as this is not coupled with 20.08 release. @Hijax and I are still testing / discussing this. Current plan is to order a few board (4) (assembled) from JLCPCB just for us to test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanefu Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hi wanted to say we had a really awesome swarm of hacking last weekend. Also we got a bit distracted on cutting RC branch due to the infrastructure move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
