開發者會議紀錄 DevMeeting 20180909

    • 由於與表定分叉更新的時間已非常接近(約於2018年10月18),因此下次的版號將直上V0.13.0.0而非原規劃的v0.12.4.0
    • 最新的PoW已更動為CryptoNightv2,需要一些會C++的開發者幫忙審查
    • Kovri 的程式碼已正式從GitHub移至Gitlab,而主要的Monero 程式碼尚未決定是否要移動
      • 很可能以Gitlab為主而Github作為鏡像備份
      • 也可能Monero就直接用Gitlab的軟體自行架站
      • 防彈協定(BulletProofs)與CryptoNightv2程式碼的合併並於testnet上運行預期會在9月10-11號開始
      • 下次開會時間為2018年9月16號

完整會議紀錄:

rehrar> Hello everyone. Dev meeting time.
rehrar> 1. Greetings
rehrar> anybody out there today?
vtnerd> yes
rbrunner> Hello!
oneiric_> hi
jtgrassie> hey
rehrar> 2. Brief review of what’s been completed since the previous meeting
rehrar> What’s been happening?
rehrar> lel
rbrunner> The blockchain grew :)
rehrar> Xeagu increases the blockchain size with his mass every week now
rehrar> slow week then? :)
jtgrassie> Kovri alpha yet?
rehrar> Kovri has had an alpha release since just before Defcon
rbrunner> Well, what did not happen is 0.12.4.0, and FluffyPony confirmed yesterday that it definitely won’t happen anymore
rbrunner> Next ist 0.13.0.0
jtgrassie> Makes sense
rehrar> ok, so all of that stuff is just being rolled into 0.13.0.0?
rbrunner> Looks like it
rehrar> Was there anything critical there?
rehrar> and did he happen to give any indication on the status of 0.13 when he spoke?
rbrunner> No, just a short confirmation what we already suspected over in moneru-gui
rbrunner> We have a hardfork date of October 18
rehrar> so I hear
jtgrassie> Latest PoW change still seems under discussion
rbrunner> Well, a review would be nice, but hard to get by the necessary people with the knowledge …
jtgrassie> I’d certainly welcome a vtnerd going over it
endogenic> not necessarily
endogenic> there are toonnnnss of c++ and hw devs in the world
endogenic> we need better outreach to devs specifically
endogenic> things like dev meetups for c++ people
endogenic> i’ll start going and making announcements
jtgrassie> agreed
endogenic> “good opportunity to have your work recognized and make a big impact”
rehrar> “Change the world: Monero”
jtgrassie> we don’t really know if a change is even needed for next HF
pigeons> let people building asics spend/waste a little more money first
endogenic> or “dont change the world: it was better when money was backed by something” lol
jtgrassie> I was refering to change of PoW, not the world - which yes needs changin!
rehrar> Alright, well, anything else happen this past week?
rehrar> Maybe not to be discussed in too much detail, but anonimal started the effort of moving off of Github
rehrar> kovri is now on gitlab
vtnerd> jtgrassie : yes I plan to scrub over it again, and have again somewhat now
rehrar> I know there was discussion of doing that with Monero in general
rbrunner> Which did not get very far, didn’t it?
vtnerd> the sqrt stuff is the one iffy part where my eyes gloss over a bit
pigeons> moneromooo is setting up a gitlab instance
+moneromooo> Well, I was going to, but I didn’t know anonimal did too. I thought he moved it to gitlab.com.
+moneromooo> Unless that’s what he actually did.
rehrar> I think he is on gitlab.com, yes
pigeons> Yes I think that’s what he did (move to gitlab.com)
+moneromooo> OK, then I’ll do it.
jtgrassie> vtnerd: cool. What I liked about your last April changes is they were clear and simple. This PR is big.
rehrar> Monero doesn’t necessarily have to be in the same place as kovri though?
+moneromooo> No. If he wants to move kovri there, he can. If not, not.
+moneromooo> It’d probably be less confusing to have it all in the same place though.
jtgrassie> I’d agree
rehrar> Alright. Whatever you guys decide.
@ArticMine> The question in my mind is how many developers and contributers to Monero support Microsoft
pigeons> what do you mean by “support”?
oneiric_> hopefully few
jtgrassie> I’d guess very few
rbrunner> With “support” you mean “would vote to stick with Microsoft”?
@ArticMine> I mean would want to continue using a Microsoft platform
@ArticMine> Yes
rehrar> I don’t say this often
rehrar> but Microsoft is not bae
@ArticMine> So I suspect anonimal’s move is just the tip of the iceberg.
oneiric_> I like that anonimal ripped off the bandage, and moved to gitlab
oneiric_> gets the ball rolling
pigeons> there does seem to be general rough anecodatal “consensus” among the more active contributors I see that they would prefer to move away
oneiric_> even if not final solution
rbrunner> Thankfully, technically, it does not matter much
rbrunner> Just linking to earlier things will be hard of course …
pigeons> there are decent import tools in gitlab recently improved
@ArticMine> pigeons that is my read also
jtgrassie> I like the idea of GitLab as the primary repository and GitHub a mirror
endogenic> i thought it was already decided to do that
jtgrassie> That means anything that cannot be imported still has the legacy links
jtgrassie> endogenic: yes that was also my understanding
rbrunner> May I say that we “decide” in confusing ways sometimes …
rehrar> decide here means that everyone agrees it’s a good idea, and nobody gets it done
rehrar> Monero has cool word definitions like that
@fluffypony> I think the main thing is self-hosted GitLab vs gitlab.com
+moneromooo> \o/
@fluffypony> and we’re largely leaning towards self-hosted
@ArticMine> Yes
rbrunner> Makes sense, IMHO, if move then move right
rbrunner> Right being self-hosted
jtgrassie> but then someone has to maintain it and get called an ameteur when it goes down ;)
rehrar> I’m guessing we don’t have an ETA on this though?
+moneromooo> None.
rehrar> purrrrfect
+moneromooo> Since pony’s around, I want to talk about when to fork testnet whenever convenient.
oneiric_> is there a way to fund the server with FFS and have a group of trusted people with admin creds?
rehrar> take it away
oneiric_> my bad
rbrunner> take away what?
@fluffypony> moneromooo: is there anything preventing us from doing it tomororw?
rehrar> Oh, I thought moneromooo was going to ask some questions from pony
@fluffypony> *tomorrow
rehrar> that’s what I meant take it away (to moneromooo)
@fluffypony> rehrar: he already did
rehrar> oh
+moneromooo> fluffypony: (1) merging the bulletproofs, and (2) maybe merging CNv2.
@fluffypony> we’re getting dangerously close to when we should release 0.13
+moneromooo> (2) being the annoying part here, since we can wait forever with no guarantee we’ll get a review :/
jtgrassie> 2 seems premature
rbrunner> Why only “maybe” for CNv2? Test the damn thing :)
@fluffypony> jtgrassie: we’ve got a fork coming up in 5 weeks, I don’t think it’s premature
+moneromooo> Because if it changes, we’ll need to reorg testnet again. maybe not too much of a bother I guess.
oneiric_> looking forward to OhGodAGirl’s review
+moneromooo> So I’d be fine merging 1 and 2 for now, and reorg on monday or tuesday if that’s alright ?
@fluffypony> let’s do Monday, we can always re-reorg if we need to
jtgrassie> fluffypony: fair enough, but we don’t even know if it’s needed really.
+moneromooo> And btw for those who don’t know, it’d be *very* nice to have everyone running the release by the 11th, due to https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/4287
+moneromooo> OK, monday then. I’ll fixup the testnet reorg kludges.
@fluffypony> ok cool
jtgrassie> and by needed I just mean the CNv2 change
iDunk> Just a reminder that the testnet will be rolled back to a height where nethash is 10 kH/s.
jtgrassie> this CNv2 PR needs much more review given the amount of changes
+moneromooo> Oh, yes, forgot this one ^^
rbrunner> jtgrassie: It’s only testnet :)
rbrunner> And if it gets used maybe bugs will surface earlier
rehrar> moneromooo when you say it’d be nice to have everyone running the release, do you mean devy people or everyone everyone?
jtgrassie> true, I’m just paranoid with large changes!
+moneromooo> Everyone.
+moneromooo> (if they care about DNSSEC)
rehrar> alright, I’ll see about coordinating something with the Community and Outreach workgroups
rehrar> I think it’d be beneficial to do it anyways so we get as few “support” questions as possible
rehrar> Alright, anything else?
pigeons> luigi1111: fluffypony maybe look into merging https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/4342 which fixes windows build
rbrunner> yeah, windows build working would be nice of course
iDunk> And 4352 fixes linux builds.
rbrunner> Anything that does not need fixing? :)
+moneromooo> Bulletproofs hopefully.
rbrunner> Is this the time and forum to make a final decision about the name of the release?
rehrar> Alright, well, pending other topics of discussion, I think we can decide on next meeting date and adjourn.
endogenic> do we want to review the bulletproofs changes since the audit?
endogenic> i know ops are confirmed as constant time etc
+moneromooo> Well actually they might not be constant time, interestingly.
oneiric
> when will quarkslab report be released?
+moneromooo> Oh, kinda forgot about that one.
+moneromooo> After 0.13 I guess, they found a DoS which was supposed to go into 0.12.4.0.
oneiric_> Ok, thanks moneromooo. When is 0.13 planned?
+moneromooo> See above.
rbrunner> About that release name…? Beryllium Bullet, Beryllium Bullet Cluster, or something else? Or not the time and place to decide this?
endogenic> so…. bulletproofs…
oneiric_> saw it being discussed, but no date. unless it was the “monday or tuesday”?
rehrar> rbrunner: it was being discussed in the Monero forums, let me grab the link
+moneromooo> That’s the testnet reorg.
rehrar> https://forum.getmonero.org/6/ideas/90722/release-name-for-oct-0-13-0-hard-fork
rbrunner> rehrar: Yes, thanks, saw it there as well, but that’s again a question about deciding … right?
oneiric_> so past oct 18 for a report on bulletproofs?
rbrunner> Would be nice to have the name, to prepare docs, ReadMes, the installer, etc.
endogenic> maybe we can discuss release name after we confirm if bulletproofs needs to be reviewed again
endogenic> if not let’s just put it live on mainnet now. yolo
rehrar> endogenic: because you want Berylium Bulletproofs?
rbrunner> The review would be for the changes made since the reviews, right?
endogenic> nah it’s for the name
endogenic> just kidding, yes
oneiric_> moneromooo: if quarkslab found a DoS in bulletproofs, why does that hold the release of paper until after they’re implemented?
+moneromooo> It was not in BPs.
rehrar> ah, so we waiting for get the next release out.
oneiric_> understood. Is there anyway to remove that section, and release an amended version of the paper?
rehrar> So if we’re not goign to decide the name now, and you want to be a part of the discussion, it’d probably be best to post on that forum. I think there was a reddit thread too. Otherwise keep an eagle eye on the IRC channels for when it will be discussed
+moneromooo> stoffu: I’ve added 5 days’ worth of blocks to the testnet bodge in the BP PR if you want to OK again ^^
endogenic> rbrunner: my reply was to you fwiw
rbrunner> Yes :)
+moneromooo> oneiric
: maybe, notmy call though.
oneiric_> no worries, thanks moneromooo
endogenic> can we ask them?
endogenic> i guess sarang is the point of contact
endogenic> afk
oneiric_> ok, I can ask during tomorrow’s MRL meeting
rehrar> ye
rehrar> alright guys, I guess that’s it.
rehrar> September 23rd sound ok? Or as we approach release, should we have it every week?
endogenic> not it
endogenic> i will ask again about bp change review at mrl mtg tmw as well but same thing will happen
endogenic> now afk
oneiric_> thanks endogenic
rehrar> I will tentatively set a meeting up for next week, and it can be canceled then. So the 16th. Unless there are any objections.
* Tom_Cruise (
Tom@cpe-24-24-133-238.socal.res.rr.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
rehrar> It can be super quick, just touching base on release stuff
rbrunner> With a meta entry so people don’t forget …
rehrar> indeed so!
rbrunner> Nice :)
rehrar> alright, that’s it then. Thanks for coming everyone
