[WE6.2.1] Publish pre-train single version containers

[edit]

If we publish a versioned build of MediaWiki, extensions, skins, and Wikimedia configuration at least once per day we will uncover new constraints and establish a baseline of wallclock time needed to perform a build.

Progress update
Any new metrics related to the hypothesis
  • None
Any emerging blockers or risks
  • None
Any unresolved dependencies - do you depend on another team that hasn’t already given you what you need? Are you on the hook to give another team something you aren’t able to give right now?
  • Not yet
Have there been any new lessons from the hypothesis?
  • Runtime permissions differences for scap in various environments (local development, releases-jenkins, deployment.eqiad.wmnet, etc) and with various calling users complicates feature development. These complications are not insurmountable, but they do add some amount of uncertainty to feature delivery schedules as new code propagates from one environment to the next.
Have there been any changes to the hypothesis scope or timeline?
  • The hoped for completion in the first week of October will be missed. Completion of the hypothesis before the end of October still seems likely.
