timo merry christmas i guess? :)
[Coke] ... I'm kind of concerned that we just got 50 commits to main days before the release 17:09
how many point releases have I had to do this year so far? 17:10
timo i addressed this concern in the pull request
> Since the gdb plugin is fully optional, and problems with it are unlikely to actually cause issues, and the only other change in this PR is in a debug helper function you would have to call by hand, I have decided that merging this without a full review just before the release is not an issue.
[Coke] did you assign me to the PR so I could review it before you applied it?
timo i promise you the PR is harmless :) 17:11
[Coke] Why does no one *talk to the release manager* about these things?
lizmat [Coke]: good point
shall I bump NQP / Rakudo to get some CI going? or are you thinking of skipping these commits for the release ? 17:12
[Coke] I need more time to consider.
timo irclogs.raku.org/moarvm/2026-07-01...22:49-0009 17:13
[Coke] Don't bother bumping them yet in case I decide against.
lizmat yup, understood
timo to be fair, that was not so close to the release 17:14
[Coke] and did you get an answer?
timo next day i got a "timo++" from lizmat and a "go ahead!" from patrick 17:15
lizmat timo: the point is that the release manager is supposed to to a blin run.... and your merge basically made the last blin runs meaningless :-(
timo it does, even though the changes are nonfunctional? 17:16
lizmat so, my ++ was for then... now I would have said, "++ but wait until after the release"
[Coke] there are changes to the src folder.
lizmat thing is, I also have been guilty of pushing things I thought were harmless just before a release... only to find out they weren't 17:17
[Coke] not just the plugin
timo indeed, that's the debug helper function i've mentioned in the comment
that code is unreachable except when you connect a debugger and call it by hand
[Coke] ok. 17:18
timo sorry for giving you a heart attack there
[Coke] Color me "incredibly frustrated" and we'll see if any issues on release day
also please see my note in #raku-dev 17:19
timo sorry again 17:20
your work is greatly appreciated 17:22
if you prefer, you can revert the merge, or I can do it 17:23
[Coke] Just leave it
Thanks for the work on it. 17:24
timo I hope it can benefit end users, GDBing moar can be frightening, but this can make some things a lot nicer 17:27
[Coke]: where did you see the failed checks? for me it shows all green for the PR's checks 17:48
could be from the second-to-last commit where the checks were aborted because i pushed the next one soon after? 17:52
[Coke] timo: checked again from the top level, it's fine, updated my comment. Thanks for the follouwp 18:01
