| ugexe | patrickb: you can use a file path as the mirror if you're consuming it with zef::repository::ecosystem | 01:49 | |
| also the wget thing does look wrong | 01:50 | ||
| er, sorry. i mean you could use a file path for the source-url | 01:52 | ||
| I dont remember if using a file path needs to be a directory with the extracted archive, or if you can pass a local path to a target.gz. I think it is supposed to work with both, but that there was a bug with using a local tar file path. One of them should work though | 02:05 | ||
| xinming | Is there a operator to test .DEFINITE ? | 10:06 | |
| .so is for Bool | |||
| m: [0.DEFINITE, 0.so].raku.say | |||
| camelia | [Bool::True, Bool::False] | ||
| lizmat | xinming: no, there's no operator for that | 10:18 | |
| for example: | |||
| m: dd Failure.new.DEFINITE | |||
| camelia | Bool::True | ||
| lizmat | m: dd Failure.new.defined | ||
| camelia | Bool::False | ||
| lizmat | m: dd so Failure.new | 10:19 | |
| camelia | Bool::False | ||
| xinming | Ok, will use .DEFINITE then | 10:45 | |
| lizmat | if you are already allowing for nqp ops, you could use nqp::concrete() | 10:46 | |
| .DEFINITE is basically a macro for wrapping the invocant in an nqp::concrete() | 10:47 | ||
| sjn has made a new Raku sticker \o/ | 10:53 | ||
| I'll be bringing them to FOSDEM in two-ish weeks :-D | 10:54 | ||
| lizmat | sjn++ | 10:55 | |
| sjn | github.com/sjn/stickers/blob/main/...humans.png <- here it is | 11:01 | |
| sjn hopes it isn't too bad :-D | 11:02 | ||
| lizmat | looks pretty nice and battle tested to me :-) | 11:05 | |
| sjn | yeah, it's similar to the "Compatible" and "O(fun) again" stickers, but now with an AI comment :-D | 11:06 | |

| lizmat | and yet another Rakudo Weekly News hits the Net: rakudoweekly.blog/2025/01/13/2025-02-ditana/ | 12:25 | |
| sjn | Ooh, I have a corner on Rakudo Weekly! \o/ | 12:43 | |
| El_Che | Hi sjn | 12:52 | |
| sjn | El_Che: heya! | 12:56 | |
| lizmat | weekly: github.com/Raku/problem-solving/la...C%20Review | 13:14 | |
| notable6 | lizmat, Noted! (weekly) | ||
| sjn | hey, quick question; How did github.com/raku-community-modules come into existence? | 13:15 | |
| El_Che | magic :) | 13:16 | |
| lizmat | I think it was moritz' original idea | ||
| sjn | nice. super useful | ||
| who is the current custodian of that list? | 13:17 | ||
| lizmat | anybody with access, and there are quite a few | ||
| sjn | right | ||
| lizmat | but lately, it was mostly /me | ||
| sjn | I've been spending some tuits on mapping out ecosystem metadata like this ("ADOPT-ME" etc.), and I'm wondering if lizmat (and/or anyone else who cares about meta-stuff like that) would be interested in spending a few moments exploring this topic with me. :-) | 13:20 | |
| (this is mostly wrt. new EU legislation, but should be useful in general also, including for anyone who cares about Raku metadata & tooling) | 13:21 | ||
| lizmat | sjn: would be interested in that.. | 13:25 | |
| but first I'm gonna be afk for a few hours :-) | |||
| sjn | no hurries :) | ||
| tbrowder | hi, i'm adding a sub to my Font::Utils module (no, lizmat, still unpublished, but Santa is using it at the North Pole), and need some advice on usage. | 14:02 | |
| the routine is "pdf2pdf" which uses a Ghostscript setting to make PDF file generation reproducible. the routine will overwrite an existing file by default. | 14:04 | ||
| my current plan is to warn of that if a human uses if without a pdf inout as is typical. i have a warn option to require the user to ok continuation. the setup is, in my mind, so the default is ready for a | 14:07 | ||
| user's automatic pdf pipeline. | 14:08 | ||
| in summary: (1) no input file, give help, (2) input file only, overwrite as is in place, (3) add the :$warn option | 14:11 | ||
