Tools Team Report -- 26 May 2019 1. Datatracker Projects - The plan was recently updated. -- https://trac.tools.ietf.org/tools/ietfdb/browser/trunk/PLAN -- One thing to highlight is the increased the priority of the transition from Python 2 to Python 3. This increased priority is because Python 2 is being officially deprecated, and it will not receive maintenance starting January 2020. - A contract for Meeting Application Improvements was awarded to IOLA. Work will begin shortly. - An RFP for IRSG balloting was released and then the period to bid was extended to 4 June 2019. We expect work to begin in June 2019. 2. Community & Other Projects - The latest website deliverable from Torchbox is complete, including the cleanup of messy redirects between Wagtail and Apache. - Handling of 404 on the Wagtail website was improved, avoiding some problems that could occur with dynamic links. - The Tools Team and the Secretariat are working on a plan for the best way to handle static plaintext pages, such as appeals, appeal responses, and implementation reports. Current thinking is to manage these outside Wagtail, but the discussion is still ongoing. 3. RFC Services Projects - Support for the v3 schema has been enabled for I-D submission, and now the IESG needs to make a policy decision about when I-Ds in the new format can be submitted to the IESG for publication on the IETF stream. - The RFC Production Center continues to test the new format tools. - The Tools Team has a Statement of Work for the security of the tools used by the RFC Production Center. The new format tools will be reviewed once the tools related to the old format are put in mothballs. - A contract for rendering errata in a more useful was awarded to Soaring Hawk Consulting; work began in May 2019. 4. Server Infrastructure - The custom DMARC-handling software was deployed for all mail lists in June 2018, but there is a desire to move away from the custom software to ARC. The ARC software cannot be configured to handle just a few of our mail lists. Requirements were provided to the ARC developers, but so far, they have not offered a release date. Alexey continues to try to get a response from the ARC developers, but so far we are only getting silence. This has not changed in many months; maybe we will be using our custom code forever. - The guides.ietf.org has been deployed in its own container. In a few weeks we expect to move it to hardware controlled by the Secretariat. This experiment is allowing the Tools Team to determine whether other services can be containerized and put "in the cloud". 5. YANG Catalog - Operation of the yangcatalog.org was to transferred to the IETF Secretariat. A few significant things to highlight: -- The yangcatalog.org service is running on different hardware than ietf.org; it is on a server in Canada. This placement is allowing the Tools Team to determine whether other services can be containerized and put "in the cloud".
