With there only being a few weeks left of this semester the end is in sight. We have one more release before our 3.0 release. It's time to start trying to wrap things up and get some final things landed and smoothed out, as opposed to adding a bunch of new features that will in turn add more bugs.
During our triage meeting this week I had made the suggestion that we cut some issues from the release tracker. This would help us prioritize what needs to get done for 3.0 and what is just a 'nice to have'. We managed to slim down the number of issues in the release by a substantial amount.
As it turns out, most of the issues I had left over are not really that important for 3.0. My focus for the coming weeks will be to help out where I can. I will be doing more reviews, and asking people if they need help.
The week that was
Even though it was not a necessity for 3.0, I decided to try and finish slimming down our registry images. I felt like I had spent so much time researching this that it would be a shame to have it all go down the drain and for someone else to have to start from scratch next semester.
After a bit more research in the topic however turned up this open issue in the docker-slim repo.
Turns out that docker-slim cannot be used as the building engine for buildx just quite yet. So this issue will have to be put in the backlog until it can be, because using buildx is more important than slimming the images.
Another issue that was left over to do now that the registry was up and running was to remove the old Github webhooks that we had in the repository. After confirming the location of them I simply clicked the red button and that was another issue taken care of.
Lastly, there was this issue that stemmed from migrating to use our registry based images. We need to update the gitpod.yaml to either build or cache-from like we now do in our development.yaml. I made this PR to address the issue and it is still a work in progress, but I think I am close to getting gitpod back up and running to help facilitate all this reviewing I plan on doing in the coming weeks.
