This week we released a new BookBrainz into the wild! Release went fairly smoothly, and I set up replication of MusicBrainz area, gender and language tables once per day too. Had some issues with new constraints we've introduced on the database, which meant that I had to change some blank alias names/sort name and identifier values to dummy values. But nothing lost, since they should never have been blank

CatQuest reported some issues with BB. I *think* the big issues he's seeing are easily fixable, and stem from the new Object.assign syntax not being converted to something older browsers can deal with. If he's around we can try a quick fix tonight. However, this doesn't affect any of our officially supported browsers - http://bb-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/re….

I've now started looking into MB OAuth for BookBrainz login, and that's also working reasonable well. At the moment I can authenticate visitors to BB with their MB logins, and I've written some prototype code to link existing BB user accounts to MB accounts. Just needs to schema changes to add a new column to store the matched MB user.

zas forgot (mainly for bitmap): we change the format of nginx logs on gateways, reducing the number of logs while preserving the valuable data, disk writes ops divided by 2
2016-04-18 10951, 2016
LordSputnik
I'm hoping to submit a patch to MB to add the editor ID field to the /userinfo endpoint, but my personal sandbox on Rika is out of date and broken, so I'll probably do it on my own desktop. (as a side note, if someone could nuke my sandbox and set up a shiny new one, that'd be very much appreciated)

Per the ticket, the reason we stopped requiring/forcing was because Picard didn't support HTTPS'ing. AFAIK Picard does HTTPS by itself now, so it would probably work now.

I think it would be good to test picard with the minimum supported versions of pyqt and python just to make sure nothing there causes any problems

check all the official libraries, e.g. libmusicbrainz, etc.
2016-04-18 10919, 2016
LordSputnik
And maybe acoustid uses the WS?
2016-04-18 10928, 2016

probably better to check the libraries than individual clients
2016-04-18 10907, 2016

Perhaps we can make musicbrainz.org/(!ws)/ go HTTPS and let /ws/ sit as HTTP+HTTPS for some time yet?
2016-04-18 10907, 2016

individual clients that we suspect aren't using the official libraries should be notified tho
2016-04-18 10907, 2016

Yes; we'll do it on beta first

So resolution is: make non-/ws/ HTTPS-only, make beta.mb HTTPS-only, blog about making prod. mb.o/ws/ HTTPS-only and poke clients about it (and that they can test against beta.mb.o)?
