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
- TAP::DOM release 0.11
- assume TAP version 13 by default
- generate TAP from TAP::DOM
- Data::DPath release 0.50
- small optimization
Friday 14th 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
- File bug about B::Deparse not handling newlines in (?{...}) regex constructs
Olivier Mengué (dolmen)
- Arriving late...
- Digged into Module::CPANTS::Analyse and Module::CPANTS::SiteKwalitee
Saturday 15th March
Tim Bunce:
- Released Data::Tumbler and Test::WriteVariants to CPAN.
- Contributed to the design discussions around extending the META spec for packagers.
- Updated the DBI::Test prototype to use the new Test::WriteVariants module.
Matthew Horsfall (alh):
- Update test.valgrind patch to remove previous output otherwise it would interfere
- Noticed valgrind patches abandon work done by previous work of others. Need to reconsider/rewrite.
- Work on getting a base testing setup for Devel::PPPort work. Lots of hacking/fighting with various
tools
- Spoke with Paul Johnson (pjcj) about possible speed improvements to Devel::Cover. Will look into later.
Steffen Schwigon (renormalist):
- completed reviewing and polishing of literally 2 non-mythical man years of Tapper git history
Olivier Mengué (dolmen)
- Investigated the issue of `$!` not being properly encoded on non-ASCII locales
- Checked how `setlocale()` and `strerror()` work on Windows to verify if the issue applies here: it doesn't. Note that `setlocale()` works quite differently from Unix. For example, it doesn't use environment variables (LC_*) at all
- Got help from Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni (maddingue) who found that the issue is at least partially (only for UTF-8 locales) in blead
- Persued in locales world on Windows to fix `use open qw< :locale :std >;` on that platform. Patch for encoding::_get_locale_encoding() in progress
Sunday 16th March
Steffen Schwigon (renormalist):
- App::DPath release
- input type 'tap' assumes TAP version 13 by default
