| ## Minutes | ||
|
|
||
| ### Scheduling Meetings [ctc#14](https://github.com/nodejs/CTC/issues/14) | ||
|
|
||
| @trott: This is a status report. Initial proposal was to dive in and start rotating meetings. Some were on board, some were concerned. Nikita started Google spreadsheet to figure things out. | ||
|
|
||
| One proposal is to move back one hour (12pm Pacific) which would be a mild improvement for Ben and Nikita. | ||
|
|
||
| Input received from NA and EU but not Asia and Australia. Once we have that information we can figure out what might work. | ||
|
|
||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| ### meta: update NODE_MODULE_VERSION to 51 [#8808](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/8808) | ||
|
|
||
| `process.versions.modules` == 48 for v6.7.0. | ||
|
|
||
| Set in build script, we bump this number for each semver-minor. We’d update to 49, but Electron has been bumping in between, so we need to go to 51. | ||
|
|
||
| @thealphanerd: Had a way to do this in the past, but never landed a version of V8 on master [before a release]. So those using master cannot rely on this check. | ||
|
|
||
| Proposal is to add this to master now and v7.x when released. But should we wait to bump till the actual release? | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: If you’re using master, it’s been a bit “buyer beware” in the past. | ||
|
|
||
| @thealphanerd: Node-pre-gyp uses the module version number to determine whether to pull the pre-built binary or to rebuild. So that’s causing problems. | ||
|
|
||
| @ofrobots: Is there a disadvantage to doing this now? | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: Doesn’t seem to be. | ||
|
|
||
| @joshgav: Any concern that we’d have to bump again at v7.x release? | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: We’ll just bump again. | ||
|
|
||
| @addaleax: We should watch what Electron is doing cause they pull in every V8 version. | ||
|
|
||
| @trevnorris: Could it happen that newer version of V8 has a lower module version number? | ||
|
|
||
| @trott: if module version mapped to V8 version we could always be in sync. | ||
|
|
||
| @ofrobots: Problem is that ABI is more than just V8. Also, we’re moving to a VM-neutral API/ABI in the future and that will remove the relationship to a V8 version. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: We should coordinate with Electron and draw from the same pool of numbers. | ||
|
|
||
| @ofrobots: A good point for a bump would be when we bring a new V8 into master. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: This would make testing those nightlies easier. | ||
|
|
||
| @trevnorris: Sounds to me that we can’t map reliably map a version of Node to a version of V8. So pulling from the same pool as Electron might be misleading to developers. If the number in Electron doesn’t match a Node version there would be a conflict. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: People are tracking which module versions map to what, so they could follow this too. | ||
|
|
||
| @trevnorris: Maybe we can give Electron the minor numbers. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: NW.js also had a similar issue. | ||
|
|
||
| @thealphanerd: Electron bumped to 5.1 in an ABI-breaking way, so we have two versions of Node ABIs out there, cause they needed to stay closer to Chromium. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: They don’t need to keep up with the latest version of V8. | ||
|
|
||
| @thealphanerd: Let’s talk offline. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: Back to GitHub? Or do we need to decide now? | ||
|
|
||
| @thealphanerd : PR has a lot of LGTMs, would like to see this land today or tomorrow so we can unbreak master. | ||
|
|
||
| @ofrobots: Two points - one, what to do now; two, what to do going forward? | ||
|
|
||
| Ali and Myles will work on a policy going forward. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: Might belong in LTS repo as we’ve been doing a lot of versioning stuff there. | ||
|
|
||
| **Next steps**: | ||
|
|
||
| * If there are objections raise them in the issue, otherwise ready to merge. | ||
|

|
|
||
| ### General v7.0.0 / v6 LTS Planning / Discussion | ||
|
|
||
| @Fishrock123: Make sure all are in the loop. | ||
|
|
||
| Throw v0.10 in too since it’s end of life at end of October. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: LTS map says *first* of October. Some people expect that cause the docs say that. | ||
|
|
||
| @Fishrock123: We discussed keeping it alive till end of December like v0.12, cause that’s when OpenSSL is EOL’ed. | ||
|
|
||
| @mhdawson: If the doc says Oct 1 what’s the downside to sticking with that? | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: We may have communicated Oct 31 through some channels, so some people may expect that. | ||
|
|
||
| Or perhaps when v7.x is first released. | ||
|
|
||
| Having said that, it’s been >2 years, so people have had time to migrate. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: Originally 0.12 was slated for EOL in April 2017, we moved it back because of the OpenSSL issue. | ||
|
|
||
| @Fishrock123: Official LTS policy is target date is when the next release/LTS is cut. That’s usually midway through month. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: Push to LTS WG to resolve ASAP. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: James pushing another beta later this week or early next week. | ||
|
|
||
| @Fishrock123: v7.x is now on semver-major freeze. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: There are some semver-major commits in master which aren’t in v7 release. | ||
|
|
||
| @Fishrock123: Might still need to update? Might have been left out by James intentionally? | ||
|
|
||
| @thealphanerd: Not a ton of semver-major things on master. There are the V8 upgrades (patches), and a move of a method to fs/internal. | ||
|
|
||
| Big one is npm@4 coming through the pipeline 1-2 weeks before Node release, should we include that. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: npm@3 had problems originally so we delayed. Should we do the same for npm@4? | ||
|
|
||
| @addaleax: I’d feel comfortable with landing it. Kat said they aren’t concerned if 4 is included now or not. | ||
|
|
||
| @Fishrock123: Things which are deprecated in v4 will still be deprecated (not removed) in v5, so we could bump all the way to v5 in a later release. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: We don’t have to synchronize all these dates to one, we can be flexible if needed. | ||
|
|
||
| @thealphanerd: If we have a date other than late October it might be a good idea to offer a date. | ||
|
|
||
| @ofrobots: Tentatively Oct 18 is the target stable date for V8 5.4. As tentative as usual, not clear till the last moment. Low chance that V8 will be moving a lot around Oct 18. Haven’t seen this date slip by more than 1-2 days. Very low chance that V8 will destablizie us. | ||
|
|
||
| @thealphanerd: Oct 25 as a tentative date for v7.x? | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: Ali and Seth, what’s the risk of setting that date now? | ||
|
|
||
| @ofrobots: Close to Oct 18 I can highlight any potential risk. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: Let’s say that - 25th is tentative date, we’ll communicate if there’s any change. Any objections? (No.) | ||
|
|
||
| That will also be the day we switch v6 to LTS. | ||
|
|
||
| @thealphanerd: Doing release of v6 LTS earlier might be helpful so we have that out of the way for potential v7 issues. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: Discussion on this will move to LTS WG. Join the LTS WG on Monday to discuss. | ||
|
|
||
| @thealphanerd: Could use someone to be responsible for v6 LTS, please volunteer. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: It’s been helpful to have a single person for v4 LTS, but we need to find a model that scales in the future. | ||
|
|
||
| @Fishrock123: Would be helpful to schedule LTS a week earlier to avoid problems. | ||
|

||
| ### Supported platforms proposal from Build WG [#488](https://github.com/nodejs/build/issues/488) | ||
|
|
||
| Current proposal: <https://github.com/nodejs/build/issues/488#issuecomment-250155697> | ||
|
|
||
| @trott should make a CTC agenda item next week? | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: Give input on that issue before it comes to CTC. Build WG must review and sign off on as well. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: Some discussion about tiers, this affects OS vendors. | ||
|
|
||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| ### Other | ||
|
|
||
| @thealphanerd: Node.js is going to be working with Outreachy project to help people from underrepresented groups get involved. | ||
|
|
||
| We need projects for these people to work on in 3 months. If you can think of good parts of the project to assign… would love to hear your suggestions. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: GitHub thread? | ||
|
|
||
| @hackygolucky: I’ll create a new one and ping @nodejs/collaborators. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: Are we getting a satisfactory response on the call for mentors? | ||
|
|
||
| @hackygolucky: 5 primary mentors and a number of supplementals. 4 sponsors, which means we can accept 4 mentees. | ||
|
|
||
| @rvagg: If someone wants to be a supplemental is that still open? | ||
|
|
||
| @hackygolucky: Thread is still open: https://github.com/nodejs/education/issues/7 | ||
