Util Hello! Who all is in attendance? 19:33
Chirag Hello! me :)
Util Welcome! 19:35
Parrot 6.8.0 will be released next week.
Does anyone have branches to merge for 6.8.0?
19:36 rurban_ joined
Chirag I don't.. 19:37
rurban_ Hi, I was working on a minor testfast branch, but looks bad
smoke-me/testfast-gh1086 19:38
we could use the new absolute execname patch to support relative paths, which rakudo requested
Util rurban_: Please point me to the patch 19:41
rurban_ relocatable-gh800 was my branch 19:42
Util Oh, I see, the long-standing relocation issue. Has the Rakudo said anything about it recently? 19:43
rurban_ it's quite a lot of work involved. rpath geing relative, all 3 internal paths being relative. 19:44
but at least we have now the absolute path available
so probably not doable within this week 19:45
no, rakudo said nothing, but we got now the first part solved
nothing else from my side 19:51
Util When I search `git log` for references to "relocatable-gh800", I get nothing. I see benabik mentioned merging the branch (and 11 other branches) in IRC on Feb 15 2013.
Can you point me at component commits, or at a command that could help me see them? 19:52
rurban_ I think it's just an empty placeholder. deleted upstream
yes 19:53
Util Was it always empty?
rurban_ yes, I think so
Util Then when you said "we got now the first part solved", what were you referring to? 19:54
rurban_ the absolute execname
perl5 had the same prolem some time ago, and they also started with the parts we have now in.
it's the same code, so it's at least properly tested 19:55
Util Doh! 3c00e7e , it was right in front of me. Thanks!
rurban_ so from this and getcwd, and then relative rpath's we can relativize the 3 internal loadpaths also
rurban/darwin-rpath-gh883 is part 2 19:56
jkeenan got a problem with the darwin rpath branch still 19:57
Util This will be very good to finish, but not in time for 6.8.0. Maybe for 6.9.0?
rurban_ the rakudo usecases are windows and darwin only
6.9.0 maybe
Util I am on Darwin, and so will test rurban/darwin-rpath-gh883 , too.
rurban_ please, needs to be rebased, but is simple. I need sometimes for easier testing, still works for me 19:58
on darwin it would be putting rakudo into /Applications/... and it should still work 19:59
Util Any blockers for anyone?
rurban_ on windows: change the drive (like put it onto a stick)
no blockers for me :)
maybe the rurban/darwin-rpath-gh883 branch 20:00
Util Coke: (from last week, after the meeting was over) Thanks for the answer!
rurban_: OK.
Anything else to discuss? From anyone?
rurban_ nope
Chirag no
Util Thanks everyone! Meeting adjourned. 20:01
