0.3.4.x work.

Lets not wait for the review assignement sheet for any of those or

on the 033 or 034 milestones.

haxxpop

https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2018-May/013155.html
This week:
- Re-publish the descriptor if the client auth config changes via SIGHUP

authorization
- Try to finalize if we want to use prefix in client auth
private/public keys or not
Nick:
Last week:
- More 1/sec refactoring on #25375. Now, there is nothing that
needs to happen 1/sec when the network is disabled!
- Reviewed lots and lots of branches.
- Deprecated 0.2.5
- Gave a Tor lecture for an MIT class.
- Debugged Tor working with libressl.
- Tried to help with fallout from some travis-breaking merges.
These should happen less and less as we get more travis tests into
master.
- Did community advocate role. Didn't actually achieve much.
Maybe I wasn't seeing the right opportunities :/
- More #25908 (test coverage determinism) work to improve
coveralls utility.
This week:
- Finish the 0.3.4 portion of #25375: actually disable the
1/sec callback when the net is off.
- Check whether we're ready to merge TROVE-2018-005.
- Review and merge even more pending branches.
- Close smaller 0.3.4 issues, preferring those on the roadmap.
- Backport 0.3.3 items.
- Prepare for 0.3.4 alpha and 0.3.3 stable to come out next week (!?)
- Bug triage rotation.
- Begin triage on 0.3.4 tickets.
- Revise bwauth format spec, if teor and juga and pastly want
me to. (I'm also happy for you to make any subset of the changes I
suggested; I trust your judgment.)
juga:
Last week:
- more "bwauth format spec" revisions
- worked on #25947, #25960, #26004, #26007
This week:
- more "bwauth format spec"
- refactor for #25960
- other things depending on the spec
Can not be at the meeting, but it would be great if people can discuss
what i added in "Disscusion".
I'll read backlog around 19:00 UTC and answer questions in #tor-dev.
Always happy if nickm review spec
dgoulet (Will miss the meeting):
Last week:
- Worked (mostly review) with nickm on #25500 child tickets.
- Closed down roadmap item #25494. Dirauth modularization was merged
upstream with #25610 \o/. Not perfect but a good step forward.
- Patch work for #25552 HSv3 problem which took lots of discussion with
teor/asn. It is in merge_ready for 034.
- Reviewed ffmancera circuit cannibalization patch #25118.
This week:
- Work on roadmap item #25500 child tickets so we can get them upstream
before freeze with nickm.
- Review++ on 034 features as needed. I have on my radar #25647 (wide
CREATE cell encoding from isis).
- Will do a review pass on haxxpop's HSv3 client auth branch.
- Address, as a priority, anything that comes up with #25552 (roadmap
item) so we can get it upstream before next week.
- If no 034 features need my attention, I'll start on 034 bug squashing.
We already have plenty that needs fixing just for HSv3.
catalyst:
last week (2018-W17):
- reviewed #15015 (--verify-config port binding). closed as
worksforme after multiple failures to replicate
- started to review #25549 (appveyor CI)
- finished tests and patches for #25756 (make early-consensus
detection more reasonable). unsurprisingly, the tests took most of the
time and the actual behavior change was almost trivial to implement.
- looked at some coverage flapping issues
- helped a little with the rust distcheck CI
- looked at #25061 some more
- IRC moderation stuff
this week (2018-W18):
- CI rotation
- #25061
- reviews
