## Notes
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Checking in
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
d1: last release was gnarly, was tired but now looking forward to coordinating new release
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
mo: travelling, pretty busy, alakazam presentation/docs/feedback energies
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
p4: release hell, good progress, happy to see automation for new release. backupbot spec is underway, to discuss soon...
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Release planning
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Note about previous release: goreleaser refused to to release on a branch previously, so we reverted the backup changes and reverted the revert after the release
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### Catalogue
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
why catalogue?
 | 
			
		||||
- advantage: git repository
 | 
			
		||||
- disadvantage: overhead, CI/CD system, people don't understand it, several bugs
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
proposal: rely on tags in the repository. clone everything to .abra/recipes/... pull tags locally on-the-fly.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
if i create a new version of a recipe, the catalogue is not even at all. it just looks locally. the update happens afterwards
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
precomputing means saving resources later on
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
With the operator collaboration topic, it will be possible to specificy an app recipe with a git location, it is then possible to skip the catalogue.
 | 
			
		||||
https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/issues/533#issuecomment-19038
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
recipes.coopcloud.tech (the Elm app) is reading the JSON
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
in an ideal post-catalogue abra, you could just ref a git org where `RECIPE=<recipe>` would find `https://git.example.com/<org>/<recipe>` and even `RECIPE=<org>/<recipe>`
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Backwards compatiblibility will be key. For next next release 🎉
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### Automation test suite
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Computing power from somewhere? Local-IT doing migration atm so not ideal timing. Maybe again after a month or so, can check-in again then.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Can also ask Autonomic and/or whoever else feels like they can help.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### Cli Argument Handling
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/issues/581
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Upgrade to `urfave/cli` version 2 will enforce `abra app command command [command options] <domain> [<service>] <command> [-- <args>]`
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Maybe we need a poll to see how people are using it? `@mo` using the strict format anyway, `@d1` not minding, `@p4` in favour...
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
adding a good/clear warning/error that if using e.g. `--chaos` on the end, it's not possible anymore...
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
> How do you use flag options (e.g. `--chaos`) with Abra?
 | 
			
		||||
> At the beginning: abra app deploy --chaos app.example.com
 | 
			
		||||
> At the end: abra app deploy app.example.com --chaos
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
> How annoyed will you be if, we enforce it at the beginning?
 | 
			
		||||
> Not annoyed
 | 
			
		||||
> Slighty annoyed
 | 
			
		||||
> Very annoyed
 | 
			
		||||
> If you are *annoyed, what can we do to help this process? e.g. docs, warning, etc.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Decision vs. poll? It's not really a choice. the lib is broken / enforces this. its ambigous now and just causes issues / questions / confusion.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Hack to re-order options transparently? Some pre-processor which would special case the `[-- ARGS]` for `abra app cmd`.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Doing it one way is just clear for everyone.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Plan: make proposal, get votes. if voted against, try to make new with adaptions / more work/money etc. but compromises with needs. (TODO: `@d1`)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Btw emoji polls are actually broken for some clients 😱
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||

 | 
			
		||||
### Goals of Federation?
 |
