This page is dedicated to reporting what has been done day by day during the event.

Thursday 13th March

Tim Bunce:

• Detailed discussions with Jens Rehsack (‎Sno‎) about next steps for DBI::Test.
• Implemented a significant restructuring of test generation logic and plugins.
• Detailed discussions with Philippe Bruhat (‎BooK‎) about next steps for Test::Database to better fit the needs of DBI::Test.
• Discussions with ribasushi +1 about how NYTProf does gathers subroutine call graph information with a view to improving Devel::Cover analysis.
• Was interviewed (along with ribasushi +1) by Salve J. Nilsen (‎sjn‎).
• Granted Matthew Horsfall (‎alh‎) commit access to Memcached::libmemcached repo.

Matthew Horsfall (‎alh‎):

• Added parallel testing support to p5's Makefile for valgrind testing (test.valgrind)
• Add deparse testing support to p5's Makefile for smoking deparse (test.deparse)
• Played around with a Configure -i flag (ignore/rm Policy.sh and config.sh)
  • Talked to H.Merijn Brand (‎Tux‎) about ./Configure with cached data. More is needed here, perhaps for now though separate out the functionality to another shell/Perl script so it can be improved in the future without touching Configure. Might play with this later.
• Added patch to update doc or fix code for hv_iterinit
• Fixed Devel::Cover to work with 5.20 and later 5.19.Xs.
  • Discussions with Paul Johnson (‎pjcj‎) led me to the hopefully "right" way to fix this.
• PPI review for Christian Walde (‎Mithaldu‎)
• Took a look at test.porting supporting parallel tests.
  • It already does!
• Bugged Tim Bunce to give me github access to Memcached::libmemcached

Steffen Schwigon (‎renormalist‎):

• opensource released some Tapper libs
  • https://github.com/schwigon-aws
• TAP::DOM release 0.11
  • assume TAP version 13 by default
  • generate TAP from TAP::DOM
• Data::DPath release 0.50
  • small optimization

Friday 15th March

Tim Bunce:

• More DBI::Test code refinements and design discussions with Jens Rehsack (‎Sno‎) and ribasushi +1, especially around the test variant generator.
• About ready to start working on extracting and releasing Data::Tumbler and Test::WriteVariants as new distributions on CPAN.
• Discussed the problems of packagers (eg rpm creators) determining dependencies for compiled perl extension.
• Proposed an extension to the META spec as an appropriate way to capture the required information and build tooling around it.

Matthew Horsfall (‎alh‎)

• Memcached::libmemcached
  • Updated META_MERGE a bit (change bugtracker, include repo url)
  • Check pending tickets for work / clean up bug queue. Most seem stalled on more user input
  • Release ! (Includes fixes for floop-parallel-all)
• bisected/https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=121437reported "Attempt to free unreferenced scalar" with here doc in regexop
