Hello,
Because there are so many things going on at the same time, I would like to start a brief main thread about the upcoming Core Update(s).
The original plan was to have this closed a while ago because Core Update 156 has already gone out. But then I decided to wait for a couple of smaller things until we had a security vulnerability reported which I wanted to investigate more (#12616 and #12619). It is not too bad, but I would like to ship at least a fix that is good enough to mitigate it. We might need some more time to figure out the details around the other half of the solution for this problem.
Now this update has become *very* large. It is the largest update we have ever had and that might break things. Therefore I do not want to merge anything more that has to go into the core system, but add-on packages are fine.
In fact, the build that I just pushed should be the final one, unless we find any other problems. Does anyone have anything urgent and small left? Otherwise Core Update 158 will be open as soon as 157 has hit the master branch.
In order to coordinate that a little bit more and have a good and hopefully brief merge window, what should be in it?
* Fixes for #12616 * Can we finish the migration away from Python 2? * Drop the packages discussed at the last conference call (https://wiki.ipfire.org/devel/telco/2021-05-03)? * VPNs for iOS (https://patchwork.ipfire.org/project/ipfire/list/?series=1323)?
What else are you guys working on that is ready for prime-time?
