Maintainers' Meeting, July 25, 2022

--- title: "Maintainers' Meeting, July 25, 2022" tags: unikraft, maintainers datetime: 2022-07-25T11:00:00+02:00 location: Online, Discord (https://bit.ly/UnikraftDiscord), the `#monkey-business` voice channel teams: - maintainers participants: - Felipe Huici - Pierre Olivier - Cezar Craciunoiu - Gabriel Mocanu - Simon Kuenzer - Alexander Jung - Vlad Badoiu - Marc Rittinghaus - Michalis Pappas --- ## :dart: Agenda - kraftkit - bootloader - libmusl - memory balooning - coding style - naming conventions ## :closed_book: Discussions ### 1. :rocket: Kraftkit AJ: `Ukpkg` is now working and is available and you can retrieve and download github repositories. AJ: Using this no longer requires having a Github Token. AJ: Currently focused on developers, next up is building (`ukbuild`). AJ: The building part should be done by the end of this week. FH: When is parity expected to be done? AJ: September basically. AJ: After parity, the main focus should be `ukdeploy`. This absorbs `plat-gcp`/`plat-*` to login and deploy your application to the cloud. AJ: In the future, each file/project should have a template, similar to docker-compose. ### 2. :boot: Bootloader Support FH: Cristi is missing so we don't have much to discuss. ### 3. :muscle: Libmusl SK: We have some problems with flags when building, but fixes are ongoing. SK: I think we can have an initial draft published this week, so people can try it. ### 4. :balloon: Memory Ballooning CC: The current implementation is more like a proof-of-concept and is very specific. I feel like a rewrite is needed and maybe someone else with more experience can adopt the discussion. SK: I would integrate Marc in the future and a/another person can work closely with him after paging is done. CC: Each platform and allocator has it's own point where the ballooning happens and a different API. SK: Yes, that's why we probably need a rewrite after paging comes from Marc. ### 5. :baby: Naming Conventions MP: I think we should leave it for the gathering in Romania. There's a lot of people and a lot of time to discuss such things. SK: Good point. ### 6. :keyboard: Coding Style MR: I think we should look over the document we posted some time ago and discuss it. MP: Actually this is really useful. MP: I think we need to write things as we review PRs. MR: Yes, I think we can have a final discussion after this PR cycle. ### 7. :dice: Memory Randomisation MR & SK: Not sure how this got assigned to us. I think we can wait for Razvan so he can add more on this. ## :wrench: TODOs and Decisions CC: Add fixes from Hugo and mark the PR as draft for now. AJ: Continue working on kraftkit and `ukbuild`. All: Continue writing in the document whatever ideas we have.
