PTS Results

This is a page where attendees can keep a log of what they've done each day (and then hopefully write a blog post after the PTS has finished).

Thursday

Olaf

Rik

H.Merijn Brand (‎Tux‎)

  • Fixed Test::Smoke to accept command-line arguments to Configure.
  • Discussed dromedary use with Rik and Book
  • Started builds of perl-5.28.2 on my HP-UX systems to distribute. Doing so surfaced a bug in blead that Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker (‎ilmari‎)++ promised to fix. I also created several tickets for modules that failed for various reasons not due to perl.
  • Worked (with Aaron Crane (‎arc‎) on making metaconfig back in sync with blead. Thank you Aaron Crane (‎arc‎)!!!

Tina Müller (‎tinita‎)

  • Implemented https://github.com/perlpunk/YAML-PP-p5/issues/11. Loading and dumping of perl objects now supports both tag styles !perl/type and !!perl/type. Now you can exchange pretty much every data between YAML.pm, YAML::XS, YAML::Syck and YAML::PP. Only typeglobs need to be implemented.

Christian Walde (‎Mithaldu‎)

  • Finished dzilifying PPI with ether's work.
  • 7 releases of PPI with various fixes.

Friday

H.Merijn Brand (‎Tux‎)

  • Finished builds of perl-5.28.2 on my HP-UX systems and uploaded them for distribution. (and did a few PR's to CPAN modules)
  • A few loose ends in blead after the Configure jobs of yesterday
  • Dig into HP-UX blead Test::Smoke failures
  • Test Devel::Cover with cperl for Paul Johnson (‎pjcj‎) and looked at XS coverage (fixed statement display)
  • Test Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker (‎ilmari‎)'s array branch on HP-UX 11.11

Tina Müller (‎tinita‎)

Nick Logan (‎ugexe‎)

Saturday

H.Merijn Brand (‎Tux‎)

Nick Logan (‎ugexe‎)

  • Create prototype functionality for precompiling Perl 6 scripts when installed. Still requires more work to figure out various strange issues.

Tina Müller (‎tinita‎)

  • Look at some pull requests for Inline.pm and merged them, make a dev release
  • Did a security fix for YAML.pm (it allowed to set any global variable via typeglob loading)
  • Tried to seperate the official libyaml sources in YAML::LibYAML from the perl bindings; asked H.Merijn Brand (‎Tux‎) for help

Sunday

H.Merijn Brand (‎Tux‎)

  • Fix Tina Müller (‎tinita‎)'s XS problem
  • Test Devel::PPPort-3.47 on all XS modules I have maint on that use it and push when appropriate. Devel::PPPort fails on perl-5.8.0..5.8.8 (5.8.9 is OK). Fix FAIL in core and up to 3.48
  • Merge and test Christian Walde (‎Mithaldu‎)'s recent changes to Test::Smoke. Test and push
