dev meeting 20200819

Present at the meeting:

• Guillaume Petiot (@gpetiot)
• Nathan Rebours (@NathanReb)

Current plan

• Sonja deprecates delegates
• Sonja adds a Deprecated module to help us keep track of deprecated features Sonja writes down all the checks that are run in the lint phase and open an issue so we can decide a clear policy regarding when to run them and whether they should be fatal or not.
• Guillaume finishes the draft workflow
• Nathan looks into using dune's cram testing instead of mdx
• Nathan add a command to include the dune subst in the tagged commit

Meeting notes

Guillaume worked on improving how we deal with distrib_uri. This went through a couple round of reviews and should now be ready. He also improved the --dry-run mode to be able to move forward on the draft release workflow. Finally he started fixing some of the issues from the tracker!

Nathan didn't do much but he fixed a bug in the distrib tarball checks so that all the relevant packages are built.

Among the issues Guillaume looked at there is #218 which seems interesting. Nathan will look into allowing it through a flag for dune-release tag or as a separate command for now. Given it's a bit more invasive we don't want to make this the default yet.
