kid51 kid51's report 13:19
* Mostly preoccupied with family matters in recent weeks.
* Merged remove_Parrot_ex_calc_handler_offset branch into trunk.
* Fixed some tests in 'make manifest_tests' after recent work on source files by fperrad
ISSUES
* TT #1393 remains unresolved, causing as yet unexplained failures in t/library/test_more.t on our most vanilla OS with most vanilla compiler options (none).
* Has gotten some attention from bacek and lithos, but needs more.
* If this persists thru next Tuesday's release, I will be unable to promote Parrot 2.0 at $job, at Perl Seminar NY or in other local OS groups.

chromatic I am: fixing TT #389 (don't store :methods in the namespace). 18:31
I am: blocking a bit on PGE/TGE fixes.
The branch most likely will land just after 2.0.
Hello! 18:32
mikehh hi there
there hi mikehh 18:33
chromatic Let's review last week.
mikehh :-}
chromatic We had a few commits.
How are the HLLs doing? 18:34
mikehh only a couple of fixes for me
chromatic Did anyone talk to Cardinal or Pynie or Rakudo or Partcl people? 18:35
I'll take that as a no. Do we have a volunteer to do so? 18:36
Hm, I'll take that as a no too. Guess that means it's my job. 18:37
Do we have other priorities for this week besides deprecations, bug fixes, and documentation fixes? 18:38
mikehh what about the pmc_freeze_fixup branch - it seems ok to me 18:39
cleanup, sorry 18:40
chromatic If we can merge that in the next day or two, I'd like to see it in 2.0.
I thought there were some questions about one of the thread tests though.
mikehh maybe - I'll do a couple more test runs 18:41
chromatic If things look clean on all the platforms you can get access to, go ahead with the merge.
Are there any questions? 18:43
smash who's doing the release next Tuesday ? 18:45
cotto_work seems to be chromatic 18:46
chromatic Yes.
mikehh I should have a reasonable amount of time for parrot this week, anything specific I should concentrate on?
chromatic Bugfixes. 18:47
Whatever we can squash (or diagnose) before 2.0, with the appropriate risk management, is fair game.
That's my plan anyhow.
mikehh 'k 18:48
chromatic Other questions?
aninhumer This isn't my meeting but: <Coke> but yes, having an easier way for folks to contribute docs would be a good thing. <Coke> someone please mention that at parrotsketch today. 18:49
chromatic Oh yes, thanks.
aninhumer suggested mentioning dukeleto's GH Parrot mirror as an easy place to apply doc changes and get them back into Parrot. 18:50
Thoughts?
(It does require someone monitoring pull requests there, but it doesn't require any extra infrastructure for setup; it can work immediately.)
mikehh Coke applied a couple 18:51
cotto_work +1
mikehh but do we need any tickets or just apply them? 18:52
chromatic It's two things.
1) Apply them
2) Add a sentence to the appropriate web site pointing people there for trivial changes.
Anything else to discuss? 18:57
mikehh how about a way to encourage attendance at this meeting? 18:58
chromatic No kidding! 18:59
mikehh is the timew right?
or is it just the time of year 19:00
cotto_work It may be that people don't want to mess up the 2.0 release 19:04
and the time of year
I'm sure Parrot activity will pick up after 2.0 is released. 19:05
bubaflub the combination of a new semester and holidays has slowed me down a bunch 19:06
could be other students out there feelin' the crunch as well
chromatic Let's wrap this up. Are there any last comments or questions? 19:08
Okay, time to fix bugs. Thanks everyone. 19:10
