@yvanzo

I reviewed two-fifths of MBS PRs opened since last year.
Total count of opened PRs decreased by 20 despite new PRs.
I’d like to continue at least at the same rate during this week.
Also updated wikidocs transclusion and updated beta.mb.o.
A new MBS release has been published just this morning, see the blog.
Last, I worked on search documentation and further bugfixes.

I merged a lot of reviewed PRs
I also fixed my own mess with MBS-11319
And spent quite a bit trying to work on MBS-11314 because we have a lot of links to detailed stats now but most of them didn’t even have a legend
(we always had the stats, mind, just they weren’t linked from anywhere so it didn’t even matter nobody could figure them out before)
Also some refactoring with MBS-11303
And a few smaller things
Oh, and added some genres. There’s still a ton of open requests though, which are mostly hard
This week… I dunno yet. I’ll find something

This week is Midvinter’s Blot! (middle of winter in old pagan tradition)
after that I should be much back to normal productivity!
Today I have been working on some giant cd-box thing with lots of errors!
Finally Winter has actually arrived here! there is snow! and minus degrees https://www.yr.no/sted/Norge/Oslo/Oslo/Oslo/meteogram.png D:

last week we released another Picard point release:
Picard 2.5.6 released – MetaBrainz Blog
I had to handle a kiki’s failure (likely a freeze or kernel oops) (our main gateway)
it caused a downtime of 40 minutes
I noticed SSD’s are eol on it, so plan a machine upgrade soon
plus usual stuff, upgrades, maintenance, user support, etc…

I only properly got back to work today, so not much to say for last week. Starting to review some PRs for BB and LB, and did a bit of LB debugging.

last week I got back to work on MBS-10187 which I had an old branch for, but needed tests added and i18n fixes
@reosarevok prodded me to finish that recently, sorry for the delay
to leave proper edit notes informing the editor what happened, it requires making improvements to how we localize edit notes in the DB, i.e. adding support for more gettext functions, which I’m still finishing up today
I also worked on another old branch to add selenium tests for the CAA. trying to get back to random things I left hanging before the holidays
but I want those in particular to make sure this stuff is well tested before we bake in EAA support
otherwise mostly just did code review and other minor tasks.

i worked on adding tests to BU using the sample database instead of mocks. I reviewed a PR for the android app.
also, did some minor bug fix work on CB.

@alastairp

it’s not snowing in Barcelona, unlike Madrid. I’m a bit disappointed
last week I started some developer-facing improvements to LB, including reducing our running images (LB-765) and unifying unit/integration tests to reduce the stupid number of docker-compose files that we have (LB-768)
I also reviewed a bunch of PRs on CB, BU, and LB, thanks to everyone who worked tirelessly on those over the holidays!
I went back to some troi/datasets tasks that I stopped working on because of the playlists push. I’ve just about finished integrating sentry into the ds hoster on bono and prod

I wish a Happy New Year to all of you as I didn’t make it for the previous week’s meeting.
I started collecting datasets locally to “play” with the sklearn too and see how it goes in various experiments
Earlier today I also had a small chat with @alastairp to schedule the next steps of the tool integration to AB

Not much to report for last week. Trying to get ready for exam week, which has now started.
So either I’ll be hyper-stressed next Monday with a few hours to go, or I’ll be all set. :x
