Xliff vrurg: So, would a web front end for something like Blin be a good starting point? 00:28
And so, I guess I am throwing my hat in the ring for Service Manager.
Let me know what I need to do.
vrurg Xliff: If I consider it then my view for smoketesting would be different. Blin is a brute force. Smoketesting would be a lightweight variant where it picks newly uploaded modules and puts them in a queue. Anybody could start a client on their side and only what is in the queue. The point is to cover as many different platforms as possible. 00:40
It could also be about testing different compiler versions, but a new release would not trigger re-testing of all existing modules – this is what we have Blin for. 00:41
As to becoming a manager, you'd need to find somebody who is looking for help. So far, I see no interest in people supporting the existing infrastructure to receive assistance from volunteers. 00:44
Xliff vrurg: Well if there is no immediate interest, why advertise the position? 01:00
vrurg Xliff: you still don't get it. Have you read github.com/Raku/Raku-Steering-Coun...211002.md? 01:03
And also note the line right before: "For example, a new entry may look like this:" – and then _an example_ of a service description follows, so any one responsible for an infrastructure project can add _their_ description under the PROJECT LIST section. 01:05

Add guard for container descriptor $!of for non-nominals		 03:12
Geth rakudo/new-disp-nativecall: 720075d707 | (Stefan Seifert)++ | lib/NativeCall.rakumod
Handle explicitly managed strings getting passed to native functions

For explicitly managed strings, we need to pass the contained CStr value instead of the string object itself. This way NativeCall knows not to free the created C string after the call.
Note that the generated function bodies have never supported this. The problem just hasn't surfaced before, because the test runs the call only once and in the previous implementation, the first call always went through the generic calling code (which does support explicitly managed strings).		 08:02

Support passing Proxy to native routines

For now if we find a Proxy in a native routine's arguments, just wrap the call in a simple function that fetches values from proxies as a side-effect.		 08:37

[JVM] Unbreak build after merge of new-disp		 20:33
bartolin ^^ I'm neither sure about this changes nor am I happy with the added conditionals for the preprocessor. But I wanted to bring that up now as a possible solution to unbreak the build. I'm afraid I won't have much time the next two weeks ... 20:36
