Fix CURI probing on Windows

libUVs stat returns unusable writability information on Windows. It can't be trusted for actual writeability. This means `IO::Path.w` is just as unusable. Thus in `CURI.can-install()` on Windows we now actually probe for writeability by trying to create a file.
This fixes installing things on Windows with Rakudo being installed in "C:\Program Files\Rakudo".		 06:38

Fix reproducible build regression

Commit d97f3084addf86a5a187d404294deda82b173b70 introduced new arrays, one of which was assembled depending on hash order. This caused the order of some objects to vary from build to build.		 13:53

patrickb I have two Gimp image files, the backgrounds of the new Windows installer. Together they are roughly 900kb in size. Should I add them to te rakudo repo or leave them out? 14:23
sena_kun patrickb, better to be a separate repo IMO? 14:31
github.com/Raku/marketing is maybe not the right place...
patrickb, note as we build an image for every commit the additional weight may be not so desired 14:32
patrickb The images are specific to the installer, so no generic marketing resources. But it might be the practical solution. 14:33
That's why I asked. ;-)
sena_kun patrickb, we can pull them during building installers from some other repo. I agree marketing is not exactly that, just pointing out possible direction. 14:34
14:35 vrurg_ joined 14:36 vrurg left
patrickb No. The acutal bmp images I'd keep in the rakudo repo (543kb). I was asking about the Gimp files that are the base of those bmp files... 14:37
sena_kun ah, then ignore me. :/ 14:38
14:50 vrurg_ is now known as vrurg
patrickb Hm. I could actually move the entire binary release stuff to some place else. There is no reason for those files to end up in the source releases I'd say. 14:58
But where could they go?
New repo rakudo/release-tools ? 14:59
Hm the releasable stuff is also contained in the source release... 15:00
sena_kun This run started on 2021-07-16T15:28:25Z and finished in 43 minutes. 15:29
patrickb but then the release stuff should stay in sync with rakudo itself. So maybe it's best to just keep it there...
sena_kun yay, a new record for Blin
patrickb yay
Were there changes to the machine? 15:34
sena_kun patrickb, 5950X + Pakku. 15:36
patrickb Weee!

ugexe patrickb: ci.appveyor.com/project/ugexe/zef/...s/40025155 21:29
maybe creating a file isn't sufficient and it needs to create a directory? 21:32
just a wild guess
patrickb Is C:\projects\foo writable?
That worked before I assume? 21:33
ugexe it worked before, yes
patrickb There is nothing special about that folder, right? Then why should the probing fail? Wait, does that folder possibly simply doesn't exist yet? 21:34
ugexe it would get created by CURI i believe 21:35
yeah im confused... doesnt seem like it should happen 21:37
patrickb That check is in install(). If no prior call to can-install() happens that error could actually be explained.
Because writeable-path() does not try to create the folder if it doesn't exist. 21:38
ugexe yeah i guess there would be no prior call in that zef example because it doesnt use `auto`, it explicitly overrides that with -to=inst#foo sp yeah
patrickb Wait. No, that's not true. It's the private !writeable-path() that is called. That one does actually call can-install() 21:39
21:40 melezhik joined
ugexe oh in that appveyor output it shows that message twice 21:40
patrickb Or is there some non-obvious behavior when a private and public method are named the same?

patrickb that foo folder actually does not exist prior to trying to install to it, IIUC. 21:54
ugexe right
self!prefix-writeable || ?(!$.prefix.e && try { $.prefix.mkdir } && $.prefix.e); 21:56
presumably it doesnt reach the mkdir there
anymore
patrickb I know
the thing caches
the very first time when the dir doesn't exist it remembers the failure 21:57
ugexe self!prefix-writeable is cached, and if its caching a failure i would expect the above to fall into the rhs of the || 21:58
patrickb Right 22:00
But still. 22:05
The negative test is cached and the dir is created afterwards. All following calls will return False. 22:06
Because the writability test fails and the test for non-existance fails as well. 22:07
ugexe maybe s{//=}{||=}
patrickb Ha! I had the same idea! 22:08
Having the check for writability before the check of existence is a performance optimization for the common path of the repo existing, correct? 22:10
ugexe github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/49...0af1b0fcb7 22:13
that being said i dont remember exactly why
patrickb Kind of makes sense to not blindly create loads of repos on disk when we might never actually install anything into them... 22:14
