Minutes
Due to IBM’s acquisition of StrongLoop, IBM is over the TSC 25% company limit rule. Michael Dawson and Steven Loomis have stepped down from TSC, but they are here as observers.
Standup
- Rod Vagg: Released 4.0.0, also 3.3.1 maintenance release. Getting the build system ready for building/publishing 0.10 and 0.12 binaries.
- Brian White: not much, triaging issues and PRs, some work on dns parser
- Steven R Loomis: tsc resignation for IBM/SL merge, some issue triage, working on a more robust download for ICU (ICU server was overloaded, fixed to ICU again redirects to sourceforge, discussed longer term discussions)
- Fedor Indutny: v8’s ArrayBuffer fixes, reviewing PRs, fixing issues
- Bert Belder: very few reviews/issue comments. Some libuv work on rwlocks.
- Colin Ihrig: not much, some issue tracker work
- Trevor Norris: Trying to make things (including Buffers) faster, some issue/PR review
- Shigeki Ohtsu: Just a few reviews of issues.
- Chris Dickinson: Working on shoving static npm analysis data into a database, slowly
- Jeremiah Senkpiel: NodeConf.eu, issues and PRs, 4.1.0 release
- Ben Noordhuis: only PR review and responding to bug reports, a patch or two upstreamed to v8
- Alexis Campailla: ARM cross-compile for CI. Misc fixes for VS 2015 / Win10
- Domenic Denicola: some issue and PR review, talking with v8 team
- Michael Dawson: landed the build updated for AIX, also updating the tests for AIX where necessary. Looking into PPC failures. Working on getting us hooked into v8 security notifications.
Previous meeting’s agenda
- Jenkins merge jobs always overwrites PR-URL and Reviewed-By #179
- doc: update COLLABORATOR_GUIDE #2638
- deps: update v8 to 4.5.103.30 #2632
- Node.js v4 Release Timeline #2522
- Inspecting Node.js with Chrome DevTools #2546
Deprecate Array#values() in 0.12.x #25877
Deprecate smalloc in v0.12 #25784
Jeremiah: Are these things that we think we can do? Should we go ahead with that? Is it a good idea to deprecate these things?
Ben: How are we going to deprecate? Literal util.deprecate
?
Jeremiah: Probably?
Trevor: They’re already floating a patch
Rod: I’m fine with deprecating smalloc
Trevor: Is there a deprecation cycle between LTS? I’m not sure how this would work? (i.e., if we deprecate now, LTS -> LTS upgraders will not see a deprecation warning.)
Rod: Maybe punt to LTS WG? It could be quite a lot — it could be that we decide between stable versions to remove things (or we’re forced to), do we backport the deprecation to LTS?
Jeremiah: I think it should be only for things we’re forced to remove
Action: Punt to LTS WG
Inspecting Node.js with Chrome DevTools #2546
Trevor: Have an 80% understanding of the work needed: WebSocket support in core (though not necessarily exposed publicly), API injection points. Are we ok with including web sockets support one way or another?
Rod, Domenic, others: +1
util: Remove p, has been deprecated for years #2529
Discussion of Buffer “raw{s,}” encoding as well — undocumented, deprecated, inconsistently implemented in core.
Action: Remove util.p (Jeremiah to respond.)
Bert: Perhaps we should bulk remove?
Rod: util.p is relatively trivial, has a deprecation warning, etc.
Jeremiah: Brought this up because these things have been deprecated forever. util.exec has been deprecated for a while, as well.
Trevor: raw/raws are deprecated in name only, no warnings, but C++ layer does not know about them (falls back to utf8) — maybe should be removed as a bugfix, because it does not work consistently.
Action: Chris to list “least used stuff” (with apologies for how longs its taken!)
