| lizmat | question on #raku-beginner: What is the last version of Rakudo/Rakudo Star that still works on Windows 8.1 | 16:34 | |
| I haz *no* idea, but maybe someone here does? timo patrickb nine ? | |||
| [Coke] | Oof. I'm not even sure where I could run that test. | 16:45 | |
| nine | All I can say is that on the last version of Windows I used, that was 98 SE, I didn't run rakudo. | 17:05 | |
| timo | i think i was on XP for a long while, i don't think i even tried vista | 17:22 | |
| was there something in between? | |||
| [Coke] is reminded to try rakudo latest on his windows box | 17:48 | ||
| do we have a test for long-file-name behavior? | |||
| patrickb? | 17:50 | ||
| patrickb | I believe we don't. Installing a few modules has for me been a good enough test to reliably get it to fail. | 18:05 | |
| [Coke] | do you know if our fix requires the user to set the windows registry key to upport long names? | 18:10 | |
| (I am guessing that's more for, e.g. cmd support) | |||
| patrickb | Not entirely sure, but pretty confident that the win long path name reg key is not necessary. That's a different mechanism. | 18:20 | |
