1 16:49:01 * Jason_at_Intel (n=chatzill@12.18.240.224) has joined #scons
2 16:56:31 * You are no longer marked as being away
3 16:56:47 <GregNoel> loonycyborg, you with us for the bug party?
4 16:58:14 <loonycyborg> GregNoel: What can I add to it? Besides you always have them when I should be sleeping :P
5 16:59:53 <GregNoel> Sleep? What's that?
6 17:00:23 <sgk> that's that thing other people do where they close their eyes and don't move for long periods of time
7 17:00:27 <sgk> or so i've heard
8 17:00:27 <GregNoel> And the answer to your question is that you have a better perspective on what the users are seeing than any of us here.
9 17:01:01 <GregNoel> s/seeing/wanting, needing, desiring, .../
10 17:01:50 <sgk> no sign of bdbaddog and garyo was sounding pretty iffy... :-(
11 17:02:17 <GregNoel> Gary said he'd likely be late, so I'm not panicking yet. yet.
12 17:06:00 <Jason_at_Intel> are we waiting for Steve?
13 17:07:01 <sgk> i'm here
14 17:07:13 <Jason_at_Intel> right :-)
15 17:07:14 <sgk> just under a different (officially registered) nick
16 17:10:06 <GregNoel> loonycyborg, can you open the "current issues" spreadsheet? There's a link from the BugParty wiki page.
17 17:11:54 <GregNoel> And also the current issuezilla page; there's also a link from the BugParty page. I keep them in different tabs in my browser so I can flip back and forth readily.
18 17:13:41 <loonycyborg> GregNoel: I've opened them.
19 17:13:53 <GregNoel> Steven, should we start? It looks like there's close to consensus on the first few; that will give Gary a chance to arrive.
20 17:14:12 <sgk> sounds good, let's go
21 17:14:47 <GregNoel> loonycyborg, the easiest way to follow in issuezilla is to click on the "long format" button
22 17:14:38 <sgk> 2071: consensus 2.0 p0 sk
23 17:14:50 <GregNoel> done
24 17:16:10 <sgk> question about the license (to see if anyone has an opinion)
25 17:16:20 <Jason_at_Intel> what does this mean?
26 17:16:37 <Jason_at_Intel> is this going to cause a problem for me and Parts add on for Scons?
27 17:16:40 <sgk> sorry, mean release forms for code
28 17:17:28 <Jason_at_Intel> as in legal forms?
29 17:17:46 <sgk> Jason_at_Intel: to avoid possible legal hassles, we should really have some paper showing it's legal to take code
30 17:18:00 <GregNoel> "contributed code"
31 17:18:01 <sgk> contributed code
32 17:18:03 <sgk> right
33 17:18:20 <sgk> we actually have a draft of an assignment that I used for a bit years ago
34 17:18:28 <sgk> something I scraped together from other examples
35 17:18:53 <sgk> probably full of IANAL holes
36 17:18:23 <Jason_at_Intel> As I understand it legally you just need a .lic file shipped with the license
37 17:18:27 <Jason_at_Intel> like i have in Parts
38 17:19:01 <Jason_at_Intel> Or so I was told by Intel Lawyers
39 17:19:19 <sgk> Jason_at_Intel: that's fine for you distributing Parts
40 17:19:32 <sgk> the question is if the SCons Foundation were to incorporate Parts into SCons
41 17:19:44 <sgk> if we don't have paper from you and Intel saying it's okay
42 17:20:04 <sgk> then legally we'd be open to getting sued for improperly redistributing your IP
43 17:20:03 <Jason_at_Intel> I see
44 17:20:17 <Jason_at_Intel> course the point of Parts it to be added to SCons
45 17:20:41 <Jason_at_Intel> right... you have that OK
46 17:20:55 <Jason_at_Intel> I thought gave you an e-mail orginally with all that
47 17:21:17 <sgk> believe so, but we haven't been regular about getting this from contributors
48 17:21:33 <Jason_at_Intel> Everything in Parts is for Scons to take and use as they like
49 17:21:34 <sgk> current agreement basically says you have to give code to scons
50 17:21:39 <sgk> which makes some corporate lawyers nervous
51 17:21:59 <Jason_at_Intel> sure.. I understand
52 17:22:19 <sgk> our lawyer (last I talked) said since we're MIT [license] we could get by with just having contributors license their code to SCons under the same MIT terms we use
53 17:22:29 <sgk> so contributors still retain ownership
54 17:22:20 <Jason_at_Intel> if "we" needed to clarify anything here let me know
55 17:22:46 <Jason_at_Intel> sort of why we released under MIT
56 17:22:57 <Jason_at_Intel> normally Intel would have wanted a BSD
57 17:23:12 <GregNoel> to proceed, 2509, 1.3 p1 Gary +doc
58 17:23:22 <sgk> 2509: done
59 17:23:25 <Jason_at_Intel> K
60 17:23:33 <GregNoel> 2518
61 17:23:54 <sgk> you okay with the other consensus?
62 17:23:55 <GregNoel> I'll make it a dup of 2536
63 17:25:11 <sgk> 2518: done
64 17:25:17 <GregNoel> 2521
65 17:25:36 <GregNoel> I'll go with the flow
66 17:25:43 <sgk> 2521: ditto, research p2 bdbaddog
67 17:25:48 <GregNoel> done
68 17:25:58 <GregNoel> 2522
69 17:26:08 <sgk> 2.x p4 okay w/you?
70 17:26:34 <GregNoel> Already too much in 2.x; 3.x?
71 17:26:42 <sgk> fine with me
72 17:26:48 <GregNoel> 3.x p3?
73 17:27:00 <sgk> +1
74 17:27:02 <GregNoel> done
75 17:27:24 <sgk> 2523: 2.x p3 +symlink +sconf_revamp
76 17:27:28 <GregNoel> 2523 2.x p3
77 17:27:36 <GregNoel> er, sure, we agree
78 17:28:27 <GregNoel> 2531, this came up in the mailing list today
79 17:28:52 <GregNoel> I'll go with the flow; future is OK.
80 17:27:56 <Jason_at_Intel> is the auto config going to get redone in 2.x
81 17:28:32 <Jason_at_Intel> or better yet are the symlink nodes going to be handed by SCons?
82 17:29:27 <GregNoel> Already in train.
83 17:28:56 <Jason_at_Intel> moving on
84 17:29:08 <Jason_at_Intel> you would need to redo the taskmaster
85 17:29:33 <Jason_at_Intel> and the task queue
86 17:29:46 <sgk> 2531: future p2
87 17:29:50 <GregNoel> done
88 17:29:54 <Jason_at_Intel> agreed
89 17:30:26 <sgk> Jason_at_Intel: all of it needs attention
90 17:30:36 <sgk> I'm hoping to get guidance from you all on what's top priority for my time
91 17:30:44 <sgk> instead of ending up all over the map like I usually do...
92 17:30:12 <GregNoel> 2532
93 17:30:39 <GregNoel> Steven, you want it?
94 17:30:56 <sgk> 2532: 2.x p2 sk
95 17:31:06 <GregNoel> I don't like it that far out, but I'm willing to try.
96 17:31:17 <sgk> you'd like it sooner than 2.x?
97 17:31:28 <Jason_at_Intel> is this a regression? (2532)
98 17:31:44 <GregNoel> No, I don't like something with your name on it that far out, for precisely the reasons you just said.
99 17:31:57 <sgk> right
100 17:32:11 * sgk goes to re-read the issue...
101 17:32:39 <GregNoel> Maybe assign it to Gary for research and recommendations.
102 17:34:12 <GregNoel> Steven, we lose you?
103 17:34:26 <sgk> no, was off taking a look at the code
104 17:34:55 <GregNoel> Maybe assign it to Gary for research and recommendations.
105 17:35:07 <Jason_at_Intel> so 2532.. research it?
106 17:35:16 <GregNoel> Gary for research and recommendations?
107 17:35:46 <sgk> no, give it to me, i think I just figured out a pretty simple fix
108 17:35:55 <GregNoel> OK, done
109 17:36:09 <GregNoel> what milestone and priority?
110 17:36:11 <sgk> we should handle that like we do the other allowable exceptions in substitution
111 17:36:15 <sgk> 2.1 p2
112 17:36:18 <GregNoel> done
113 17:36:35 <GregNoel> 2533, should be 2.1 p3 garyo
114 17:36:49 <Jason_at_Intel> 2533... this seem to be a bug in how the win32 installer is made... ... user has to elevate it to run it
115 17:37:10 <Jason_at_Intel> or the installer has to be made to get elevation by the system
116 17:37:32 <sgk> 2.1 p3 garyo
117 17:37:32 <sgk> done
118 17:37:37 <GregNoel> done
119 17:38:11 <GregNoel> 2534
120 17:38:30 <sgk> i'm okay with doc+test p3
121 17:38:43 <GregNoel> milestone?
122 17:39:13 <GregNoel> And is node_class=None the right solution?
123 17:40:09 <sgk> looking...
124 17:41:44 <sgk> sheesh, who designed this API?
125 17:42:05 <GregNoel> Er, that would be you?
126 17:42:11 <sgk> yep... :-)
127 17:42:34 <Jason_at_Intel> SEP for cleaned on API are needed
128 17:42:39 <Jason_at_Intel> ;-)
129 17:42:46 <loonycyborg> Scanner api indeed seems kinda weird.
130 17:42:54 <sgk> I'm confused because the default is actually Entry, not File
131 17:43:04 <sgk> which normally means that returning a Dir should be okay
132 17:43:27 <GregNoel> Yeah, I agree... So why's it fail?
133 17:43:49 <sgk> +1 re: a SEP to clean up APIs
134 17:44:07 <sgk> ah
135 17:44:19 <GregNoel> Who would write the SEP? Or should there be more than one?
136 17:44:28 <sgk> more than one
137 17:44:47 <sgk> one per area of cleanup, probably
138 17:45:11 <sgk> okay, i'm taking it back, i think 2534 needs research
139 17:45:28 <loonycyborg> I'd prefer if a scanner always was a function taking node, returning list of nodes.
140 17:46:11 <sgk> loonycyborg: that would be a step in a more sane direction, but it's a little more complicated
141 17:46:28 <sgk> because a scanner is really conceptually attached to an edge in a DAG, not a node
142 17:46:41 <GregNoel> ... and there are some other considerations
143 17:47:31 <GregNoel> but an API that ran a function with an upstream node would go a long way toward solving a number of problems.
144 17:47:18 <sgk> re: 2534, need to figure out where the File lookup is coming from
145 17:47:49 <GregNoel> OK, who? not you?
146 17:48:51 <sgk> me... not me... me... not me...
147 17:49:12 <sgk> i dunno
148 17:47:50 <loonycyborg> Probably api is like that due to taking specifics of scanning c/c++ files in account, e.g. search path etc.
149 17:48:24 <GregNoel> API would need an Environment, but that's a secondary consideration.
150 17:48:24 <loonycyborg> But you could just make a canned scanner for that case..
151 17:49:05 <GregNoel> loonycyborg, caching becomes a problem.
152 17:49:22 <GregNoel> sgk, decision, or bypass?
153 17:49:42 <Jason_at_Intel> research seem to be best
154 17:49:44 <sgk> let's defer until next week
155 17:49:55 <sgk> it'd be sane to have someone else research
156 17:49:57 <GregNoel> done
157 17:50:10 <GregNoel> 2535
158 17:50:26 <Jason_at_Intel> I have this working in Parts
159 17:50:32 <Jason_at_Intel> you can take my code for this
160 17:50:44 <sgk> 2535: 1.3 p1 garyo
161 17:50:55 <GregNoel> 2535, I don't have a clue
162 17:50:56 <Jason_at_Intel> but gary is best guy for this
163 17:51:08 <sgk> Jason_at_Intel: could you update the issue with that info re: code in parts, so he'll see it when he looks?
164 17:51:25 <Jason_at_Intel> sure...
165 17:51:24 <GregNoel> I'll resist 1.3
166 17:51:55 <GregNoel> We should be cutting it next week, unless there's a regression in the checkpoint.
167 17:52:33 <sgk> re: 1.3, is that on a separate branch or is it on trunk still?
168 17:53:00 * sgk is worried that he's potentially messing up 1.3 with recent checkins...
169 17:53:18 <GregNoel> I think you did a rebase recently; that should be the candidate
170 17:53:36 <GregNoel> If it's not, it should be twiddled so that it is
171 17:54:41 <GregNoel> Were you the one to release the checkpoint? If so, which branch did you use?
172 17:55:05 <sgk> bdbaddog did
173 17:55:13 <sgk> that's right, we have the checkpoint branch for that... duh
174 17:55:48 <sgk> so 2.1 p1 garyo?
175 17:55:51 <sgk> for 2535?
176 17:56:38 <GregNoel> p1 or p2? I don't think it's p1-urgent
177 17:57:09 <sgk> good point, p2
178 17:57:18 <sgk> can be escalated if it starts burning anyone
179 17:57:49 <GregNoel> done
180 17:58:12 <GregNoel> Should we go on to your research issues?
181 17:58:24 <Jason_at_Intel> added notes of basic code
182 17:58:32 <sgk> sure, let's just hit obvious ones for now (consensus, etc.)
183 17:58:42 <GregNoel> I think we should settle the lawyer issues; don't know about the rest

188 17:59:42 <sgk> crap, i thought I went through these
189 17:59:51 <sgk> obviously I didn't
190 17:59:48 <Jason_at_Intel> ideally this is just asking for a license to be added in the documentation
191 18:00:04 <GregNoel> 765, 2.x p2 garyo
192 18:00:05 <sgk> yeah, just need to stamp it with the appropriate creative commons license

203 18:02:03 <sgk> 914: probably wontfix at this point
204 18:02:19 <sgk> it's been superceded by the stuff I copped from Chromium
205 18:02:37 <GregNoel> your choice
206 18:03:17 <sgk> re: reluctantly: is there specific functionality you had in mind that you wanted from 914?
207 18:04:12 <GregNoel> No, but the XML output in a standardized format is a good idea.
208 18:04:21 <GregNoel> I don't know what you added from Chromium
209 18:04:48 <sgk> hmm, what if we just mark it future so it doesn't fall off the radar screen?
210 18:04:51 <sgk> that's a little lame, but...
211 18:05:08 <GregNoel> Future is on the radar screen?
212 18:05:19 <sgk> fair point
213 18:05:31 <sgk> it's less off the radar screen than WONTFIX...

217 18:06:03 <sgk> if that's what you were trying to do
218 18:06:19 <sgk> the spreadsheet is just to try to streamline the triage process in these meetings
219 18:06:34 <sgk> it's not for long-term tracking of info on specific bugs
220 18:06:43 <Jason_at_Intel> No i added comment on the bug at tigris
221 18:07:01 <sgk> okay, thanks
222 18:08:26 <GregNoel> decision on 914?
223 18:09:22 <GregNoel> (we've run over and I don't know if there's anything to discuss about 1.3)
224 18:10:02 <Jason_at_Intel> Steve?
225 18:11:04 <sgk> 914: defer to next time
226 18:11:11 <sgk> along with rest of research
227 18:10:21 <Jason_at_Intel> 2347 will be fixed by taskmaster NG?

230 18:14:59 <GregNoel> back; 2347 not related to taskmaster; related to how symlinks should work: 'value' of symlink is string reference, but has to be worked out so read and write work.
231 18:15:49 <Jason_at_Intel> Greg.. thanks!
