Util Pre-report: 19:29
# Done:
* Tweaked branch new-packfile-api by rurban++ for merging.
* Dusted off the darwin_dmg changes for Rakudo. Still updating to remove bit-rot.
# Plan to do:
* Merge the new-packfile-api branch today; speak up in the meeting if opposed.
* darwin_dmg for Rakudo
.end
rurban Done: new-packfile-api updated. Fixed imcc #1015 and wrong warning exception. 19:30
Todo: waiting for new-packfile-api ok. Playing with gcc-melt and google nacl
Util Hello! Who all are in attendance? 19:31
sa1 Util: hello!
Util sa1: Welcome back
sa1 Util: just fell asleep last week. Its 1 in the night here after all. 19:32
rurban Util++ thanks for the imcc grammar rebuild and fixes, This should be in master already, related to #1015
Util Yikes!
rurban: I wondered about why it was part of the branch. Is it OK to cherry-pick the IMCC changes out into master, and then merge the rest of the branch? 19:33
rurban the last 2 commits should go to master before the merge, yes 19:34
Util Will do.
rurban looks like the imcparser dependency is wrong, not a big deal though 19:35
Util rurban: If no one objects to the merge, can you confirm that *you* approve of the merge (just for the record)
rurban I'm just wondering if the api.yaml wording is good enough github.com/parrot/parrot/commit/71...686ed034c1
I approve
Util rurban: Great. I will merge it this afternoon, absent opposition in this meeting. 19:36
rurban Maybe there's a better wording for the eval change for language devs
Util rurban: Do you mean in the Changelog?
rurban both 19:37
Util Where besides the Changelog?
rurban api.yaml
Util Oh, I missed a line of your text. I see. Thanks
rurban I hardly emember api.yaml having had some kind of regex to search affected code, but forgot 19:38
Util Do we have any code, in examples or t/ tests, that exercise the API's replacement? If so, then we could point to that in api.yaml. 19:40
rurban tools/dev/show_deprecated.nqp not quite and resolve_deprecated.nqp
maybe I mixed it up. eval would be easy to search for
Util Let's both keep an eye out for detail or better wording to go into api.yaml and Changelog, but not delay the merge in their absence. 19:42
rurban I thought of benabik or whiteknight, but they are not here today. that's why I sent the mail 19:43
There are still 20 days to improve the wording
Util Good point 19:44
rurban Is there a ticket for the darwin dmg? 19:45
Util rurban: No, it is purely a branch of Rakudo Star, to allow anyone to make .dmg packages of R* for OS X. 19:46
I included it in my report, just to show where my time got (inappropriately) used; I actually owe Zefram some work on his tickets, that should have had priority. 19:47
rurban I see: github.com/rakudo/star/tree/master...darwin_dmg This would need #800 in parrot 19:48
which is basically rurban/darwin-rpath-gh883
Util I am actually working completely *around* the rpath and relocation issues, by building and packaging exclusively for a single standard location. 19:50
/Applications/Rakudo_Star
rurban Yes, That's mucho easier
Util Of course, relocatability is a long-term goal.
... for Parrot itself, as well as its clients. 19:51
rurban in p2 I rebuilt all dylibs on make install to use the actual install prefix paths
Util rurban: Which version of Darwin are you on?
rurban rpath is killing me there also 19:52
I got now mavericks
but I also have older machines without rpath support
osuosl.org/services/supercell should have more (parrot group account)
Util I am on 10.8 (Mountain Lion). When I last tried this, I was on 10.6, which has a aggravating bug about ignoring the embedded location information in any library referenced during compilation. It is much easier on 10.8. 19:54
rpath would not be such a problem, if the support for it was the same on *every* version of Darwin. 19:57
Well, we are in the weeds, and approaching the 30 minute mark.
Any other business to discuss? 19:58
sa1 Nothing from me. I will try to look up a simple bug in the main codebase soon. 19:59
So that I can find something to work on besides external libraries.
Util sa1: Thanks! At the Mentor Summit, I spoke proudly of not only our student's work, but especially of your intent to continue with our project. I am happy to see that intent already coming to fruition. 20:00
sa1 Yes, stating intentions and details would help keep the pressure too! 20:01
Util sa1: It certainly works for me; Zefram already *thump*ed me for forgetting his tickets :^) 20:02
Anything else?
Thank you all for participating! 20:03
Meeting adjourned.
rurban Thanks 20:04
