wayland Quick question -- I see the parrot repository has moved, and I've seen noises (excuse mixed metaphor) about putting perl6 in a separate repo. Has this happened? 01:03

[particle] wayland: parrot and rakudo are now in separate repositories. there will be an announcement within 24 hours with the rakudo details, according to pmichaud 01:14
rakudo is available at github.com/rakudo/rakudo.git
wayland ok, all happy! Thanks muchly 01:15
[particle] currently, it must be checked out to languages/rakudo under a parrot checkout, or parrot must be checked out under parrot/ of a rakudo checkout

jeremiah OHAI! 10:07
So, if one wants to build the latest perl6, i.e. rakudo, then there is now a separate repo instead of using parrot? 10:08
I built perl6 recently by downloading parrot, and cd'ing into languages/perl6 10:09
But now I would just clone the rakudo git repo I assume.
moritz_ jeremiah: yes, as languages/rakudo in the parrot directory 10:10
jeremiah Okay, so pull the git repo, and cd parrot/languages/rakudo and build? 10:12
moritz_ first build parrot, then run rakudo's Configure.pl
jeremiah Okay, so the procedure has not changed at all, just the location and name of the repos.
moritz_ well, previously you didn't have to check out two repos, and run two Configure.pl's 10:13
jeremiah moritz_: Ah - so I have to clone parrot first, then clone rakudo to build perl6
?

jeremiah Cool, I was just looking at November, I think I am going to use that.
masak jtre: yes, but this is #perl6
jeremiah: very nice.
jtre sorry i tried #perl and didn't have much luck 10:31
jeremiah jtre: Yeah, the #perl channel is not a help channel, it is an abuse channel. :)
moritz_ jtre: you might try #perlhelp, or #perl on irc.perl.org 10:32
masak jtre: we're more helpful here, but it's still off-topic. :P
jeremiah jtre: You might want to try #perl-help
jtre okay thanks
jeremiah moritz_: Have you spent time in #perl on irc.perl.org? It is not so helpful. :) 10:33
jtre can I ask you to take a look at this then? (i'll move to perlhelp in future) pastebin.ca/1327873
it is copied from the higher order perl book, but won't compile, a can't find 'main' error
Undefined subroutine &main:: called at hanoi.pl line 4.
jeremiah jtre: you are using the HOP book . . .

jtre: the website for that book has a few erratas published

jeremiah Aren't they all? :) 12:42
masak I wish.
12:44 rindolf left
masak basically, the only function of the name 'u4x' is a cool little mental tag during the period of writing the docs. I don't expect that name to appear anywhere in the docs, or in relation to them. 12:45
...in the long run.
moritz_ masak: have you decided on the exact documentation format already? 12:50
(uhm, I don't think that was a correct English sentence :-)
masak moritz_: no. I'll do the thinking in connection to writing one representative documentation item for each big type of thing.
I see no problem with the sentence, btw. 12:51
moritz_ ah right, my dictionary lists both 'decide sth' and 'decide on sth' 12:52
masak 'decided on' is what I'd write in this case. 12:53
so, to the extent that you trust my English language sense... :)

masak Matt-W: ideally, you go 'install november', where both 'install' and 'november' are used loosely, and it installs november for you. 15:28
November contains a lot of re-usable modules. same for a couple of other git repositories I have laying around. it'd just be easier to know that coordinating all the different repositories wouldn't be a hassle. 15:29
Matt-W yes it would
masak in particular, setting PERL6LIB to the appropriate values.
[particle] wants a vmware image with parrot, rakudo, spectest/docs, dev tools, prophet, sd, perl6-examples, november, apache, mod_perl6... 15:30
masak [particle]: sounds wonderful. couldn't you blog and ask lazyweb for it?
[particle] i just asked lazyirc :)
masak lazyirc is too lazy :)
we're on IRC, we're already a lost cause. 15:31
web users are more refined.
and blog posts have more impact, all things considered.
PerlJam [particle]: an image for parrot/rakudo/etc devs? or for users?
15:32 JarJarBinks joined
masak for users, I presume. I'd call it a "Perl 6 bag of candy" of something. 15:33
s/of/or/
PerlJam yeah, that would be cool.
15:33 alester left
PerlJam you could hand 'em out at NPW :-) 15:33
masak Matt-W: well, there's a conceptual difference between "follow these 28 really simple steps" and "follow this one really simple step". that's what I'm after. I don't doubt there'll be complexities still, but I'd like to sweep them mostly under the nearest carpet. 15:35
PerlJam: also a great idea.
Matt-W masak: something that knows how to go and fetch all the different modules and get the main thing knowing where they are would be handy
[particle] perljam, yes, that's right 15:36
Matt-W Also I'm sorry I've not done anything useful lately on anything Perl 6-related, I'll get to it at some point
PerlJam masak: Sounds like CPAN-but-not-CPAN for perl6
masak Matt-W: exactly. I just want it to handle all deps and set up all the env vars.
Matt-W: no prob.
Matt-W: we're all volunteers here.
PerlJam: yes, that's a good description.
PerlJam: mind you, I don't plan to write the next CPAN. 15:37
just scratch an immediate itch.
mberends there are design docs and a limited Perl 5 implementation of 6PAN somewhere in the pugs tree
PerlJam masak: I don't think Andreas or whomever set out to write the first CPAN either :) 15:38
masak PerlJam: :)
PerlJam: maybe if I design it to be inherently limited...
mberends: I might take a look, but I don't intend to do something like that. just a tiny package installer and deps handler. 15:39
sort of a proto-6PAN.
ah! that's it: 'proto'. that's what I'll call it.
Matt-W If nothing else, it might tell us something about how to do 6PAN
masak aye.
Matt-W A bit like one of my colleagues trying to calm me down yesterday saying it doesn't matter, we're always going to go down dead ends in development, you're not the first person who had to throw away a week of incredibly fiddly code, we've learned loads from it... 15:41
Well, maybe not
jeremiah Hmmm, you could build a "Perl 6 bag of candy" with debian as a live CD. Might be kinda cool. 15:42
moritz_ hey, nice idea :-)
mberends the existing design is pugs/misc/sixpan, talks about JIB files, and being similar to Debian in dependency handling
masak jeremiah++
PerlJam Matt-W: heh ... I had a similar conversation with a professor here with regard to one of his grad students. She didn't want to do lots of work only to have to throw it away.
jeremiah I have been fooling around with live debian CDs - the are easy to build
PerlJam jeremiah: ubuntu too ;-)
jeremiah You can even build a live CD of your current system so we should try to get a "standard" complete install and build that. 15:43
Matt-W PerlJam: I'll do it if I know it's throwaway going in and I know what I'm going to get out of it, but I was led down this path by someone else who, it turns out, wasn't paying attention.
jeremiah Put some documentation, a nice tutorial, and people could boot from it and start writing perl 6 right away. 15:44
mberends could someone please make a LiveCD of OSX to help compatibility testing ;)
PerlJam Matt-W: but that's the thing about doing stuff no one has done before ... you don't know a priori what will be thrown away (if anything)
jeremiah mberends: Shouldn't be too hard to make .dmg
PerlJam sometimes it's everything and you start over
jeremiah: sounds like you're volunteering
jeremiah mberends: Or once the CD / ISO is built, you can run it in Virtualbox 15:45
mberends VirtualBox++
jeremiah PerlJam: You bet! :)
I will start on this after FOSDEM, because I know I will not get much done this weekend at FOSDEM.
:)
Matt-W PerlJam: that is true, but saying to somebody who wrote a giant library 'I want to put this in it' and he says 'put it here' and turns out to be wrong, that's quite different
TimToady just bear in mind that PERL6LIB is a hack, and not the correct long-term solution for the officially installed library 15:47
PerlJam Matt-W: yeah, well you flip the boxo bit on the guy and never listen to him again. living is learning :)
masak TimToady: oh. I didn't know that. 15:48
but that's ok, my installer isn't long-term either.
Matt-W PerlJam: It is, but I was very angry about it yesterday 15:49
TimToady we'll use PERL6LIB to look for the user's hacks, but the standard lib will have a standard API and be searchable more like a database, so we can do wildcards efficiently
PerlJam masak: nothing is as temporary as you intend it to be.
TimToady and the standard lib will enforce that the version number changes when the code changes 15:50
Matt-W Oooh sounds good.
masak PerlJam: I hear ya.
mberends the Makefile.p6 I posted to perl6-examples yesterday sniffs out how you got it to run, and then infers PARROT_DIR RAKUDO_DIR and PERL6LIB semi-automagically, that could help.
15:50 stephenlb joined
TimToady the standard lib is more like a repo, where the things you check in are considered immutable from then on 15:51
masak TimToady: I hear you too. I'm all OK with building short-term solutions that'll break when the long term sets in.
mberends: will take a look.
TimToady which is why I just said "bear in mind" :)
masak TimToady: aye :)
mberends: though as I said, I'm a bit skeptical about using distro-specific tools... 15:52
mberends the distro-specific 'ps' hack is a *temporary* workaround for a missing $*PROG special var.
masak mberends: oh. :) 15:53
mberends++
mberends: did you also create a big fat RT TODO ticket for $*PROG?
mberends for the umpteenth time, sorry, no.
TimToady we should have a primitive in P6 that says "this code will start throwing deprecation warnings in a year" :)
masak does so 15:54
TimToady: with our luck, it wont get implemented in Rakudo until next year :)

TimToady use till '2009-06-30'; 15:55
[particle] { ... :timeout{DateTime.new('next xmas')} } 15:56
PerlJam TimToady: handling of versions and authors and such has seemed very databasey but you've never mentioned any specific database (that I've seen). Do you have any ideas on how to do that (or not to do it)? Incorporate sqlite as part of perl6 for instance?
TimToady course what happens on 2009-07-01 is the directive gets delete
*deletted
*deleted, gah
I don't actually care, as long as the API is correct 15:57
mberends self deleting code - the ultimate garbage collection
moritz_ TimToady: well, but if the line is deleted, the version number changes
Matt-W TimToady: would you expect different Perl 6 implementations to have their own library installs?
TimToady yes, more or less 15:58
but maybe there could be a standard one
it would depend on having certain functionality available everywhere though
15:59 ejs joined
TimToady ability to do crypto checksums and such 15:59
PerlJam Is there a spec or will there be a spec for such things?
TimToady well, high-level is in S11, but that's merely describing the intended results 16:00

[particle] should the default autoloop splitter be on horizontal whitespace only? 16:18
16:18 justatheory joined
literal why is it called an autoloop splitter? does it split loops? :P 16:20
[particle] it's the split character for autoloops (-n and -p) 16:21
TimToady the default should be autocomb
which combs for \S+ by defualt
*default
split(' ') is P5Thik 16:22
Think, eve
even, even
moritz_ that's odd :-)
PerlJam where are the results of the auto-comb stored? 16:23
[particle] ah, ok, yes it is.
will fix, today.
TimToady PerlJam: haven't decided, maybe just comes in as @_ 16:24
P5's @F is ugly 16:25
