| Util | Chirag stated that he will miss the meeting; thanks for the pre-report! | 19:30 | |
| rurban stated that he will miss the meeting due to his move. Travel safely! | |||
| Hello! Who all is in attendance? | |||
| rurban | freebsd is broken and would need a 6.8.1 release, because Moritz just committed the execname changes directly to master. hope it will not happen again | 19:31 | |
| Util | rurban: Who will write the fix? | 19:32 | |
| rurban | fixed already | ||
| just not released | |||
| Util | Right, I see it now. | ||
| Has HEAD of master branch passed fulltest on freebsd? | 19:33 | ||
| rurban | yes, got good feedback | 19:34 | |
| also for the other bsd's | |||
| Util | Has anyone requested 6.8.1? | ||
| rurban | their code looked stable | ||
| lizmat | fwiw, moritz is on holiday | ||
| rurban | no, that's why I didn't do it. | ||
| but if we should shoot one out. pretty easy | 19:35 | ||
| I only found and fixed moar problems with dyncall. busy with resigning from perl5 code reviews and writing a huge rant about unproper management of perl5 (and parrot) | |||
| not sure if it will help anybody though | 19:36 | ||
| "perl5 is now officially dead" or so | |||
| Util | Shall I look for your rant on blogs.perl.org ? | 19:37 | |
| rurban | no, it's on my harddrive only :) | 19:38 | |
| Util | I meant, when you post it in the future. | ||
| rurban | I always held back my serious rants | ||
| Util | rurban++ | ||
| Restraint is commendable | 19:39 | ||
| rurban | curious how Chirag will attempt the autoboxing. I'll leave him alone with it for a while | ||
| Util | Sounds good. | 19:40 | |
| rurban | it is certainly the hardest task compared to his other 3 | ||
| Util | "but if we should shoot one out. pretty easy" ... I do not know how to parse that sentence. | ||
| rurban | I will try to improve the encoded string representation in imcc then | 19:41 | |
| shoot one out: make a 6.8.1 release on request | |||
| Util | OK. I agree; hold off on 6.8.1 unless requested. | ||
| rurban | but if, comma … | ||
| Util | Parsed. Thanks! | 19:42 | |
| rurban | there are 2 outstanding request for nqp-p methods, but they need to implemented in nqp only, I think | ||
| our API should be enough for that. we'll see | 19:43 | ||
| lizmat | which ones ? | ||
| rurban | nativeglobalcall and readcharsfh | ||
| last one was yours: I only found and fixed moar problems with dyncall, busy with resigning from perl5 and writing a huge rant about unproper management of perl5 (and parrot) | |||
| oops | 19:44 | ||
| lizmat | ah, readcharsfh I guess was indirectly responsible for | ||
| rurban | github.com/perl6/nqp/issues/185 | ||
| github.com/perl6/nqp/issues/186 | |||
| wrong paste buffer | |||
| lizmat | hehe | ||
| yes, I think they're pure nqp | |||
| rurban | I think we can easily read from a filehandle | 19:45 | |
| lizmat | and be assured we don't get broken UTF-x characters ? | ||
| rurban | well, read fix length buffers will guarentee to get broken utf-x buffers | 19:46 | |
| I'll check then | |||
| sockets might need more sockopts which I left over in a barcnh for now. | 19:47 | ||
| branch | |||
| Util | rurban: What encoding do you intend to switch to, for IMCC's string representation? | 19:48 | |
| rurban | not sure how, but the current is a mess and a hack. | 19:49 | |
| the best would be to encode it similar to our api | |||
| Util | Anything else to discuss? From anyone? | 19:58 | |
| OK. Thanks everyone! | 20:00 | ||
| Meeting adjourned. | |||
