kid51 kid51's report 03:11
* DONE
* Last reported two weeks ago. Since then:
* Closed TT #1372 (Getopt::Obj)
* Closed TT #1412 (running-make-test)
* Closed TT #1393 (intermittent failuers in src/gc/api.c)
* Other small fixes to tests
* TO DO
* My remaining TTs generally fall into the category of "We'll close them when someone makes a decision in the future"; nothing urgent. 03:12
* Don't have much to do in Parrot these days, so have turned my attention back to Perl 5 OS projects
* THOUGHTS
* As others have suggested on #parrot, we should start making plans for our presence at YAPC::NA in Columbus.
* But I think our plans should be shaped to dovetail with whatever pmichaud et al have in mind for debut of Rakudo*.
* (kid51 would love to go to a workshop session where people are guided through "10 things that are the same as in Perl 5; 10 things that are different.")

cotto_work #did: 18:49
* modified/applied patch from austin++ to fix pbc_merge
* pbc_merge is now part of the PCT build process
* all PCT's tests continue to pass
* started hacking on ops_pct branch (PCT-based ops compiler to replace ops2c)
* synced branch with trunk (over the course of more than an hour (svn--))
* opsc (the ops compiler) builds but its tests are broken: nopaste.snit.ch/19522
* got whiteknight++ riled up about the *pow* and *bigint* VTABLE functions as I was about to close TT #866
* more comments in that ticket would be welcome, especially from our esteemed architect
#will do:
* either get pmichaud to tell me what I'm doing wrong with PCT::HLLCompiler or figure it out myself
#blockers:
* see above
#closed TTs:
* 2 pbc_merge tickets (#1425, #1429)

chromatic Working on GC design on the wiki. 20:24
Will continue to do so.
Still plugging away at TT #389.
Util # Done: 20:25
Started work on TT #919 (Config: "lazy symbol binding failed" on OS X).
= Problem identified, and candidate patch later today.
# Plan to do:
Close TT #919 when patch tests OK.
# Blockers:
$WORK continues to limit my Parrot involvement.

allison Last week: 20:26
- Prepared Debian and Ubuntu packages for Parrot 2.0. Needed substantial updates for additions in Parrot, and standards changes in Debian. Uploaded them to Ubuntu test system in launchpad (pass with flying colors), tested to make sure I could compile a language from them, and submitted them to our Debian/Ubuntu mentors for review.
- Developed a mini language 'camle' (not related to 'camel', it's for a class assignment) in nqp-fx with distutils.pir.
Next week:
- Working on Pynie cleanup/port to nqp-rx.
- Preparing PyCon talk on Pynie.
- Will continue working my way through the AllisonTasklist wiki page. Feel free to push tasks on my stack.

chromatic Hello. 20:31
mikehh hi there
whiteknight hello
darbelo Hola.
20:32 NotFound joined
Tene I did absolutely nothing. Life is busy. I don't expect to have any time available. :( 20:32
Util Hello
NotFound hola
chromatic Let's review our goals for last week.
bacek's been working hard on GC encapsulation. 20:33
What's the status there?
mikehh part1 commited, part2 testing
whiteknight he got one branch merged, another painfully close
chromatic Is there a merge point in the next couple of days?
How many parts are there?
mikehh yes
whiteknight probably merging part 2 todayish, if testing pans out 20:34
early indicators are positive
20:35 Coke joined
chromatic Should I wait to make other changes to the GC until after the merge? 20:36
Coke I have a late report: working on eliminating tools/dev/ccflags.pl to avoid invoking perl every time we compile something. side-effect; lots of warnings cleanups.
whiteknight yes please
japhb is here late and intermittently, sorry 20:37
chromatic How about the bit ops/pmcs/vtable deprecations? 20:38
How are we doing on those?
darbelo ENOTDONE
whiteknight just got some more info in a ticket, going to start a branch soon
then it's grip it, rip it, and snip it 20:39
chromatic go go go
Were there any other goals from last week?
No? Okay. 20:40
Let's pick goals for this week, knowing that 2.1 comes out next Tuesday.
Coke I'm going to try to finish rm_cflags, and perhaps eliminate the remaining recursive make invocations. 20:41
whiteknight those vtables and dynops are key. I think we can get them ripped out quick once the work starts 20:42
chromatic Can we have that merged by Saturday?
Coke are the vtables covered by existing deprecation notices?
I thought we just expanded the scope of that.
whiteknight I'll shoot for Saturday, yes
they are deprecated, yes
darbelo whiteknight: I can give a hand there if run into tuit shortage. 20:43
chromatic Let's all chip in!
whiteknight creating branch now
mikehh +1 20:44
chromatic Any other priorities? 20:45
whiteknight test, test, test 20:46
mikehh working on it
whiteknight mikehh++ 20:47
chromatic Are there specific things that need additional testing?
whiteknight the new ImageIO PMC
chromatic Volunteers? 20:48
mikehh do we need additional tests for that? 20:49
whiteknight I'll see what I can do with it
chromatic Excellent. 20:50
Anyone have any blockers?
NotFound TT #1428 was blocking me, but I think is fixed 20:51
