A brisk wind of winter chill sets a stir down my spine, as I sit down with a fresh cup of coffee to yarn a story of careful engineering and passionate spirit that took place over the course of 30 days. The last 30 days. Cause this is the monthly “what’s cooking” post. Welcome! This month we’re joined by 815 new users, bringing the total to 19,024. Please give them your warmest welcome and help them learn the ropes.
Our next public Mumble conference will be held tomorrow at 16:00 UTC, on voice.mnus.de, port 64738, in the sourcehut room. Please join us to share your feedback, ask questions, and so on.
General news
The big news this month is the rollout of API 2.0 support for meta.sr.ht and git.sr.ht, both of which have reached feature parity with their REST counterparts. For meta.sr.ht as well, our new OAuth 2.0 backend has shipped and is fully compliant with RFC 6749.
todo.sr.ht is up next, and work for API 2.0-native webhooks is going to begin soon as well.
meta.sr.ht
Here are the resources for meta.sr.ht’s GraphQL support:
There were also some improvements to our abuse prevention capabilities after a wave of spam registrations — if any third-party sr.ht admins require similar interventions for their instances, please reach out in private.
git.sr.ht
git.sr.ht’s GraphQL API grew support for mutations, like repository creation and artifact uploads. Resources:
lists.sr.ht
Email replies to patchset threads can now include a custom header,
X-Sourcehut-Patchset-Update to update the status of the patchset to ACCEPTED,
REJECTED, NEEDS_REVISION, and so on. Additionally, a couple of buttons have been
added to all mailing lists which allow any user — list admin or not
— to download an archive of either the last 30 days, or the entire list’s
history, as an mbox for importing into their local mail spool.
builds.sr.ht
NixOS 19.09 has been removed following its upstream deprecation.
