Deployment tooling/Cabal/2016-12-12

Current Release

Prod: 3.4.1-1 (2016-12-01) Beta: 3.5.0-1~20161208134046.50 (2016-12-08)

Next release/blocking

• Improve failure handling and rollback behavior
  • Canary doesn't rollback if you don't continue
  • Allow failures for a percentage of targets
  • Rollback fails when target is down
• scap3 should repack / pack-refs git repos

On the radar/Next

• TODO Cherry picking on deployment host doesn't work for targets
  • Working for a very artificial example on deployment-tin
• Python3 support
  • Added to vagrant
  • patch work started, but lots of work yet
  • Not in next release for sure.
• Scap hooks v. scap plugins
• TODO is scap.cfg environment-specific? e.g., passing --environment beta does that read ./scap/environments/beta/scap.cfg

Soon™/Wishlist/On the radar/Updates

• Allow loading plugins from system (instead of just a repo's scap/plugins/ dir or user's ~/.scap/plugins/)
  • This would allow plugins that are useful to multiple repositories (but not good for core scap) to be installed for everyone
  • Trivial to do, but bikeshed over where to put them. /etc/scap/? /usr/lib/scap/? Somewhere else?

Updates

• UI demo for a potential future current reality scap progress bar / log UI: https://asciinema.org/a/93543
• Docker CI now working \o/
  • TODO we only run 11 unit tests by running `nosetests` more explict stuff works -- we should figure this out :)
• Cowsay compatibility coming along nicely
