whiteknight WHAT I DID: 15:52
* Lots of smoke testing in anticipation of the release
* Identified some failures on OpenSolaris+GCC. Was not able to tackle them before the release.
* Some failures with ICC and "negative zero" tests. Sent email to the list about it. Looking for a solid resolution.
* Am privately putting together documentation for building/testing in various environments. Will make public (probably on my blog first)
WHAT I WILL DO:
* Create a branch to tackle OpenSolaris+GCC problems
* Trying to deploy ICC on OpenSolaris
* Create a branch to tackle negative zero problems with ICC/"Negative Zero"
* Promote 2.0 release on my blog and elsewhere
WHAT I AM BLOCKING ON:
* Life, the Universe, and Everything.
wagle killall -42 whiteknight 15:54
whiteknight don't want to killall, just want my kid to sleep at night 15:56
wagle unfortunately named command.. just delivered a signal.. i assumed you'd handle it instead of exiting 15:57
japhb whiteknight: we who are parents feel your pain. 16:21

mikehh What I did since my last report: 16:49
* building and testing parrot on amd64/i386, with gcc/g++, with and without --optimize
* some branch testing
* some fixes
* some tracwiki entries
What I intend to do in the next week:
* testing and fixing
* investigate gc some more

wagle looks for a new joke 17:04
Util # What I did: 17:28
* Attended (the excellent) Perl Oasis conference in Orlando. Did not speak on Perl6/Parrot though.
* Fixed typos in Rakudo, but failed at commit time. Pending.
* Found a GC bug on Darwin, that I think ties in to TT#1393
# What I plan to do:
* Write up GC new ticket, or add to TT#1393 as appropriate
* Examine my backlog.
# Blockers:
* $WORK eats up another week.
* Traveling today, with intermittent net access. Will try for #ps meeting. 17:29

plobsing What I Did: 17:48
* merged pmc_freeze_cleanup
* synced libjit_framebuilder with recent trunk (now libjit_framebuilder2)
* POD fixups to src/nci_test.c
What I Plan:
* test and merge libjit_framebuilder2 (passes for me on x86/x64 linux with/without libjit)
* follow through with deprecation-delayed pmc_freeze cleanups (PMCization)
* investigate making bytecode gcable
* review roadmap, identify other tasks, prioritize 17:49

17:53 darbelo joined
darbelo HAVE DONE: * Mini not-really-vacation. * Fixed t/pmc/io.t for OpenBSD by not caching a pointer. 17:53
WILL DO: * Turn IMAGE_IO into a PMC. Expect a branch later today. * Get started on the bitwise dynops. This time for sure.
BLOCKERS: * Life, family, etc.
EOR
xterm paste: FAIL. 17:54
17:55 Coke joined
Coke kid51's report 17:55
* TT #1382: eliminate config step auto:alignptrs. This will be done ASAP post-release unless someone registers objection.
* TT #1412: eliminate t/harness option '--running-make-test': Can anyone identify what this option is supposed to be doing? If not, I will eliminate it.
* TT #1393: As mentioned last week, while I'm getting all tests to pass on Linux/i386, plobsing and I suspect the real issues have just been papered over.

Coke my own report: ENOTUITS for parrot. 18:13
cotto_w0rk ditto 18:14
Tene My report: after about a month of catastrophe, it's starting to look like I'll be working on Parrot again. Maybe. Probably. 18:15
18:17 chromatic joined
chromatic This week: worked on TT #389. 18:18
Applied a patch or two.
Blocking on: pmichaud's help with PGE in the TT #389 branches.
Today: releasing 2.0.
dukeleto chromatic++ 18:19
Tene "important feature for 1.0" lol 18:20
mikehh probably be a little late - bbl 18:21

chromatic Hello, everyone. 18:32
Coke ~~ 18:33
cotto_w0rk hi
Tene Hi, chromatic!
chromatic Let me backlog. In the meantime, did anyone not report who wants to report?
Tene I didn't report anything useful, and I'd like to have reported something useful. 18:34
Don't have anything, though. ;)
chromatic Okay. How did we do on last week's targets?
I talked to Rakudo developers... we had a little bit of discussion of Rakudo building with trunk. bacek sent a couple of patches. 18:35
Tene rakudo has a "works with parrot trunk" commit now.
compiled and seemed to run fine for me, but I didn't run a complete spectest.
chromatic Excellent.
How about other languages? Any status? 18:36
Tene Planning a rewrite of my scheme compiler this week.
Works fine against parrot trunk.
chromatic Any deprecations we're missing, besides the one I'm adding right now?
darbelo getopt::obj? 18:37
Tene can we just deprecate "all current ::-delimited class names", or do we need to enumerate?
chromatic The latter should suffice.
Tene Data::Dumper(::*), Getopt::Obj, Parrot::Coroutine, SDL::*, Test::Builder::Test::*, YAML::Dumper, PCRE::NCI 18:39
chromatic I'll commit that in a moment. 18:40
Tene There's also some in examples/. Is examples/ covered under deprecation? 18:41
chromatic I don't believe so, but I'll mention it.
What are our priorities for the coming week?
Tene No idea. I've been *really* out of it. 18:42
18:42 whiteknight joined
darbelo Merge branches and get them passing tests? 18:43
Tene there's the long-anticipated calling conventions changes.
chromatic Right.
whiteknight more calling conventions changes?
chromatic TT #1405 18:44
whiteknight ah, right.
chromatic Is there one branch which is a priority? 18:45
Perhaps two?
Tene Coke is working on one-make, I hear.
#389 would be nice
plobsing I have a frame builder if anyone is interested 18:46
chromatic I need a bit of help from pmichaud on #389.
Tene pm specifically, or from anyone willing to dive into PGE/PCT?
darbelo Is one_make ready-ish?
That one would be nice to have. 18:47
Tene darbelo: coke said earlier today that there's one more config step needed before it can merge and then re-branch to finish the rest of the parts.
chromatic Anyone willing to dive into PGE/PCT would be fine.
Tene I'd be glad to work on that, then.
chromatic I'd like to see one_make land soon, as well as TT #389. 18:48
Coke ok. I'll need some tuits from other people to get one_make finished before month's end.
(but if month's end is OK, I can do that.)
Tene Coke: are the steps for one-make documented anywhere? trac?
darbelo We should qery bacek on orderedhash_revamp's status too. 18:49
Coke Tene: it's a bunch of various trac tickets.
Tene Coke: can you make an index of the relevant tickets?
Coke "tickets owned by coke" is a good start. =-)
I'll see if I can put a trac page together. 18:50
chromatic Any blockers?
Any questions? 18:53
whiteknight no. 18:54
chromatic Let's call it a week then. 18:55
Coke just time. Wish I had a parrot day. =-)
plobsing libjit_framebuilder2 is AFAICT mergable, should I push for merging or are our priorities elsewhere? 18:56
s/merging/testing & merging/
chromatic If it's mergeable, get whatever testing you need and merge it after the release when it's ready.
whiteknight I'll try to help testing that 18:57
dukeleto plobsing: i can help test if ya need, as well 19:04
