Ongoing retrospective tasks:

• Clarify RSE settings vs. attributes -> Full move to attributes might be difficult
• Implement a client release test procedure
• Add/Clarify merging, code freeze, release logic, to the contribution guide
• Investigate changes to merging policy, code freeze policy, and release logic
• A clearer picture of the dependencies between components (which component relies on what?) -> Split into packages with pyproject files might help
• Even more people could merge approved prs
• More automation in our PR reviews (Closing of stale/unanswered PRs etc.)
• We could close stale issues to decrease the backlog --> Need to look into that
• Add review guidelines to the contribution guide (Testcases)
• Need to be stricter during ticket review

"Paused retrospective tasks (Should we still look into these?):

• Review setup of development environment, make it easier to onboard developers -> have a generic version?
  • Barebones dev setup from readme in the rucio dev env
• Improve documentation how to setup rucio in a non-k8s environment (Possibly with x509 certificates)
• Documentation of how the config table vs cfg file works, and when which one should be used.
• Documentation how to setup an RSE (for newcomers, and best practices)
  • CTAO can work on this
• Formalise consistency guidelines for adding new RSE attributes, settings, commands, rest endpoints etc. (more discsssuion to follow)
  • CTAO can work on this
• Investigate ways of introducing reviewers in parts of review
• Be able to run all CI tests locally Side comment: Can be done with https://github.com/nektos/act already
  • issue #NNNN (Dimitris)
• To have more informative logs for various exception cases: Needs tickets on these cases
• Debug daemons using the dev environment [Inserting breakpoints, inspection of code, etc.]
  • Documentation on this?
