0011589: Minor typos (broken links, text)

Sat, 01 Aug 2026 01:13:33 +0200

- On page https://www.taler.net/en/development.html , the "Git Repositories" link goes to https://git-www.taler.net , which should be git.taler.net instead.
- On page https://docs.taler.net/developer/taler-developer-manual.html#code-generator-usage-policy , AI policy, text "MUST NOT become dependend" should be "... dependent"

(These are just tiny things I spotted while looking for "how to build Taler" for FreeBSD)

0010623: replace the prebuilt SPA development release procedure [6h]

Sat, 01 Aug 2026 01:12:37 +0200

what we have:

taler-typescript-core/ $ make backoffice-dev-prebuilt
... checkout a prebuilt/ in the worktree
... uses contrib/next-dev-version.sh to increment the version
... compile & test or die
... commit the version number on package.json that is going to end on prebuilt
... push changes on current branch
... copy `dist` folders into `prebuilt` worktree
... push changes on prebuilt branch

taler-merchant/ (manually)
... go into contrib/wallet-core update to the latest commit on prebuilt branch
... update spa lock file
... push changes

problems:
- still some manual work
- duplicated version tags (due to long lived branches)
- backoffice version should follow merchant.git versioning number
- if we publish a new version from master or release/1.1.x it should be unambiguous when updating merchant.git if we are taking the latest 1.2 dev prebuilt or the latest 1.1 dev prebuilt

proposal:

taler-typescript-core/ $ make backoffice-dev-prebuilt
... checkout a prebuilt/ in the worktree
+- get version from package.json, check the latest dev prebuilt from tags
// for example, if it gets "1.2.0" from package.json
// search for tags starting with "backoffice-spa-1.2.0-dev.*"
// if not found it can assume that this is -dev.1
... compile & test or die
... commit the version number on package.json that is going to end on prebuilt
// this commit will mark the source used to build the dev prebuilt
++ tag commit with backoffice-spa-v1.2.0-dev.(n+1)
// this tag the source that is going to be use to construct the prebuilt
... push changes on master
... copy `dist` content into `prebuilt` worktree
// in this case the content will go on "spa/backoffice/v1.2.0-dev.2"
... push changes on prebuilt branch

taler-merchant/ $ ./contrib/update-latest-prebuilt-spa
++ get current version of the repo
// mechant.git is right now 1.2.0 on master
... update submodule taler-typescript-core tags to the latest remote/prebuilt
++ list all versions starting with 1.2.0 on the artifact folder with -dev.N , order desc by N, take the highest
// in this case it will search for "/backoffice-spa/1.2.0-dev.*"
... updates the spa lock file with latest dev
// the tag is in the source code, but the folder is in prebuilt
// the the folder is not present it should be rebuilt from source
// and pushed again in the prebuilt branch
... commit and push changes on current branch

note:
- since we are talking about merchant the script has 'backoffice-spa' hardcoded (we will have one script per component)
- prebuilt is always append, consumer repo of wallet-core prebuilt will always update with newest content. in case of rollback changing lock file should be enough

ADDITIONAL CHANGE:

Makefile.am is taking content from:

dist_spapkgdata_DATA = \
wallet-core/backoffice/bof \
wallet-core/backoffice/index.css \
wallet-core/backoffice/index.css.map \
wallet-core/backoffice/index.html \
wallet-core/backoffice/index.js \
....

and it should take the content from

dist_spapkgdata_DATA = \
wallet-core/backoffice/$VERSION/bof \
wallet-core/backoffice/$VERSION/index.css \
wallet-core/backoffice/$VERSION/index.css.map \
wallet-core/backoffice/$VERSION/index.html \
wallet-core/backoffice/$VERSION/index.js \

which corresponds to the bootstrap

# Generate Makefile.am in contrib/
cd contrib
rm -f Makefile.am
find wallet-core/backoffice/ -type f | sort | awk '{print " " $1 " \\" }' > Makefile.am.ext
# Remove extra '\' at the end of the file
truncate -s -2 Makefile.am.ext
cat Makefile.am.in Makefile.am.ext >> Makefile.am
# Prevent accidental editing of the generated Makefile.am

So this will need to be refactored in order to make it work.

0009822: Refactor http impl

Sat, 01 Aug 2026 01:12:37 +0200

All our http impl use common functions but also reimplement the same logic in slightly different ways. There's room to clean this up and use a common wrapper and a finer-grained impl with consistent error handling and logging.

0009586: remove obsolete userAttention APIs

We don't use them and don't have a use for them.
