Hi Robla,
Any comments on how we can smoothen our deployments and get timely updates
on issues your release engineering team is facing (such as scap problems
etc.)?
Is there an irc channel or mailing list we can all be on to get better
communication about our fast evolving deployment architecture so that it is
easier for teams such as ours (i18n) to do deployments.
Our deployment architecture isn't fast evolving, it just changed a lot
due to git. Scap was broken for an unrelated reason, and we fixed it
yesterday. The permissions issues were due to Niklas having a broken
umask; Aaron ran into this earlier as well, and we don't really handle
the umask situation well unfortunately.
Generally, poking people if things break works well enough IMO.
There's not really a given person or team that is able to help with
all deployment-related problems because there are different kinds.
