rehrarAlright everyone. 17 UTC.
rehrarMeeting time.
rehrar1. Greetings
hychey
rbrunnerHi
kinghat\o/
rehrarsmall crowd today?
sech1hi
rehrarwell, perhaps people will trickle in.
rehrarTwo weeks ago I was at HCPP, so I wasn't able to be here for a meeting. Was there one?
dEBRUYNEI am here
rbrunnerNo, neither 1 week ago
dEBRUYNEI think we decided to postpone it
rehrarok, so
rehrar2. What's been completed since the previous meeting (a month ago)
hyca lot of PRs got merged
hychas the v12 forkheight been merged?
moneromoooYou can now sync off pruned nodes.
moneromoooNot yet.
dEBRUYNEI think that will probably be on the last merge list before we branch
dEBRUYNE^ rehrar
moneromooovtnerd__: do you intend your latest network changes to go in for the fork ?
vtnerd__the one that is up for review, yes that would be the hope (provided its determined to be ready)
vtnerd__its not needed for the hardfork, so if you feel it should wait, then my recommendation would be to wait for a point release
vtnerd__the problem is that re-testing some of your recommendations are likely to take up time before the upcoming branch, but I will try
moneromoooI think that and pay-for-service are the only large ones left.
moneromoooOh, and the defer tx verification one. Not huge either but a bit substantial.
rehrarare either of those expected to be in?
moneromoooHopefully all of them.
moneromooopay-for-service goes next, I've kept it waiting for long enough.
hycsounds good
rbrunnerDid I get that right that a PR is waiting in that batch that will cause testnet to reorg back to some much earlier blockheight?
hycnot that I've seen
hyc?
rbrunnerMaybe I misunderstood then, while reading something up here
moneromoooI said so, but I was wrong. The rules are different, but actually coincide in practice.
rbrunnerSurprising
rbrunnerAll the better
moneromoooThey'll stop conciding whe nthe block size shoots up.
rbrunnerSo we only need some seed nodes working for testnet … caugh … caugh
moneromooogingeropolous added one, that'll be merged soon.
rbrunnerNice
hycdEBRUYNE: didn't you get hold of fluffypony regarding seed nodes?
dEBRUYNEHe posted an update here 1-2 days ago
dEBRUYNE<fluffypony> re: testnet nodes, I've been having some issues with the boxes I run, but there are other people running testnet nodes besides me
hycah, I missed that. ok
rbrunnerEspecially nice that stagenet gets a third seed node, with the only two so far probably just sitting side-by-side and offering zero redundancy
rbrunnerwell, not zero, but you get what I mean …
rehrarAnything else of note to discuss on what's been done this past month?
hycsounds like not
rehrarAlrighty.
rehrar3. Fork related things
rehraris there anything that is needed, desired, wanted, or otherwise needs to be discussed regarding the upcoming fork.
tevadorFYI, there will be probably RandomX 1.1.5 with some OpenBSD-related fixes
tevadorbut best if 1.1.4 is merged first (1.1.5 doesn't need any changes in monero code)
hycthat's PR#5980 for v1.1.4
tevadoryes
rehrarok, no other fork related topics? If not we can move on.
rehrarZipping through this meeting.
rehraris anyone from GUI here? dsc_ selsta
selstayes we only had bug fixes recently
selstaGUI is ready for v0.15
rehrarok
rehrar4. Any Ticket/PR related questions?
rbrunnerBy the way, is there already a final name for the release? I could use it for adjusting the Windows installer. Is it now crab something?
hyccarbon crab?
hycI don't recall a final name decision
rbrunnerYeah, that one
rehrarWhere was the discussion?
rbrunnerMe neither, that's why I ask for sure
rehrarWe can make a decision here.
rbrunnerI think there was some chatter in a Reddit thread once
hycI think some names got tossed around in this channel a few weeks ago. but nothing decided.
moneromooocamelopardalis is satifyingly complicated.
rehraryou guys want to decide now? Or not urgent?
hycoh yeah, that was my suggestion
moneromoooI think pony likes to leave it for a reddit vote where people can't break things
hycwe can do it now, there seems to be enough people present
hycah
dEBRUYNEPony usually makes a Github thread and links that to reddit iirc
rbrunnerI would also prefer a Reddit thread, more fun for the fans, so to say
dEBRUYNE(re: name)
rbrunnerBut why not soon, e.g. tomorrow
tevadordoes the 24th Oct code freeze still apply?
tevador(it should)
hycthere was a mention of name on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/d884zt/preliminary_information_thread_regarding_the/f2zfmr1/
hycbut pretty sure that was just relaying a suggestion from here on IRC
rehrarI can make a meta issue and link to it on the Reddit
hyccool
rbrunnerYeah that was me, but I forgot where I got that Carbon Crab
rbrunnerYes, do go ahead
dEBRUYNErehrar: should I ask pony first if he wants to uphold the tradition?
hyc(I have the previous discussion in chat logs, was in this channel a couple weeks ago)
moneromoooCallisto alliterates nicely too fwiw.
rehrarsure
rbrunnerHmm, yes indeed
rbrunner"Crab" is very short
rehrarIs there anything else to discuss besides the naming?
rehrarKind of a free for all time.
hycthat's always the hardest problem in computing…
rbrunnerSo it looks surprisingly good for this code-freeze
rehrarit's because we extended it out an extra month?
rehrarAlright, well if there's nothing else to discuss, then we can go ahead and break. Doughnuts are on the table on your way out.
