Topics and Call-outs

SecureDrop Workstation 0.5.0 Release

• Release ticket: https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-workstation/issues/624

• QA matrix: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yrppdSQ8mQS6kW9ZnZI_h9A2_haMjzAPKOSYhgAby6M/edit#gid=1369125213

• Logging issue:

  • (Kev) In order for all AppVMs to log to sd-log, a config file needs to be put in place that configures the target VM. This was previously added to the individual templates, that's no longer the case. This is a change to the Salt config, so we probably need to push a new RC to yum-test. One side effect to watch out for is ot make sure that logging is still disabled in sd-gpg.
  • (Conor) Happy to help with RC

• Markdown (.md) files

  • (Kushal) I'm seeing gedit immediately exit when opening markdown file opens

  • (Conor) Will try to reproduce

• Printer testing

  • Ran into an old issue with PPD file that I thought was fixed, reopening: https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-export/issues/51

• Pre-release comms

Discussion re: handling files that are missing on the filesystem in Journalist Interface & SecureDrop Client

• https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/pull/5573 seems like an immediate improvement of this case
