2023-02-09 Maintainers' Meeting notes

Round robin

Everyone

• @Adolfo Brandes is working on frontend-app-template

• For Javascript most repos have renovate turned on, @Adolfo Brandes doesn’t think we need to open this conversation back up.

  • Set up Renovate to Automate JavaScript Dependency Updates

• @Feanil Patel

  • Working on a couple repos with egregious maintenance issues

  • Handed off drag and drop v2.

  • Ramping up on the XBlock repos, ticketed work on the board.

    • Pip compile is supported. @Jeremy Bowman (Deactivated) mentions that order of input files matters as we have dependencies between dependency files.

• @Michelle Philbrick

  • Product reviewers have issues doing product reviews. Specifically in cases when there are multiple PRs across multiple repos.

  • Wants to try CODEOWERS

• @Régis Behmo

  • Automated minor and patch upgrades. Can we have a tiny RCA for potential breakage caused by automerge. One example was a Paragon v20 upgrade that was ~breaking. Profile broke as a result. Most team pinned the footer until they could do an update. Discussion Here .
