Text::CSV has not changed a lot, so that part should be easy
does perl6 have a public accessible smoke box that I could use to setup something like that? 13:07
raku, sorry
lizmat tsk :-)
[Tux] ideal would be a tool that could reproduce the complete test environment for a certain situation, like nqp commit x, or MoarVM commit y 13:13
than find the closest commit in any of the related projects on or before that point in time and check those out for those 13:14
rebuild the whole kaboodle and run the timing
I think nothing really change in Text::CSV since 2018-03-30 that has any influence on these timings 13:20
[Coke] I wonder if we could get azure credits or something via TPF. 13:25
I will ask around.
timotimo getting the right rakudo versions should be possible with sharable6 13:32
though it will take commit hashes rather than date/time
which git can help you with by giving you all commits from one day, or something like that
AlexDaniel` well, there isn't really a technical reason not to run a benchmark agains every rakudo version 13:34
t
so the datetime logic is unnecessary 13:35
timotimo i guess that's fair
AlexDaniel` and when I say that I mean prebuilt deep rakudo-nqp-moar versions too, although this is not implemented in whateverable just yet :( 13:36
timotimo right; moarvm versions can at least be switched out without much trouble as long as there's compatibility 13:38
i.e. if you can build the moarvm with the nqp and rakudo version you have, you can drop in that version without running the build again
but if you change nqp, rakudo will have to be recompiled completely 13:39
so the amount of possible duplication would be immense if you wanted to pre-build everything
AlexDaniel` not talking about switching anything underneath existing installs 13:45
it's possible to just take 3 versions, build it, compress itā€¦ ??? Profit! 13:46
timotimo ah, that'll work too
AlexDaniel` nqp and moar bumps are surprisingly linear, it's not even nĀ²

easy path: revert zoffix's commit, add a test for splitdir called on the class object, and verify that calling it twice works.

Fix an issue with $*TZ and long-running processes

Make unicode property tests deterministic

In these tests, we test thousands of properties and then collect the results into two synthetic tests (otherwise the test would be much too slow and noisy).
