Sprint H

[jbenet]

Sprint Goals:

This sprint is mainly about fixing lots of bugs/clunkiness. We've let some annoying issues creep in, and we need to fix them. IPFS must be -- above all -- robust, dependable, and useful.

• start working on an IPFS storage driver for https://github.com/docker/distribution

@rht

• Add gofmt check kubo#1239 go fmt test check
• setting config options from cli may break config kubo#740
• crypto uses rand.Reader directly. kubo#143
• progressbar on ipfs add and ipfs get kubo#736
• CR bot (go lint & vet should be put here instead), constraint that commits can't fail the test at any point in history

@cryptix

• ?

triage - anyone can pick these up

• unmount (fix) fuse after unclean shutdown kubo#1248 fix fuse unmount
• network performance is spotty kubo#1241 network write latencies
• add uses a lot of ram and cpu kubo#1222 add uses a lot of ram and cpu
• daemon init cleanup?
• remove eventlogs kubo#1224 decimate eventlog
• stable resolution (tests)

[whyrusleeping]

In the next sprint i'm going to investigate goquic and see if its viable for us yet. The hunch is that the latencies seen in 1241 are caused by tcp (likely) and using quic would solve that

[tv42]

Hoping for some kind soul to create a migration for ipfs/kubo#1225 (pinning) and merge that, then I'll rebase ipfs/kubo#1261 on that. Not much point in pushing forward before those get merged & I get more feedback.

[whyrusleeping]

@tv42 i'm waiting on some CR here: https://github.com/ipfs/fs-repo-migrations/tree/2-to-3
