<janneke>and you see i had to create empty "mes-m2.kaem" and "mescc-tools-extra.kaem" files too <stikonas>oh, I guess you are not building mescc-tools-extra? <janneke>i guess i didn't need them, i don't know what they are <stikonas>that's some older fork of your mes package before mes 0.24 which became bootstrappable <stikonas>mescc-tools-extra is a set of useful utils <stikonas>think of it as very early set of coreutils <stikonas>names of the files would be mostly self explanatory <stikonas>match string_a string_b returns 0 or 1 depending on whether strings are equal <stikonas>but we also now have stuff like untar ungz unbz2 <stikonas>perhaps it might be useful in extracting mes tarball <stikonas>it's not really a workaround for mescc bug as we have discovered later <stikonas>(I've also sent an email to bug-mes about this) <stikonas>the earlier version was assuming sizeof(int) == sizeof(register) <oriansj>well, I very intensionally wanted to ensure more than just me would be able to merge improvments and do new releases and stikonas, fossy and janneke should collectively have all of that access and if not I will promptly fix that <ekaitz>hey pabs3 finally i have the chance to know you! <ekaitz>you have been sharing my articles in hn for a while and I didn't know you! <ekaitz>i don't know if it's good or not but the article is in the cover! <pabs3>thanks for doing the work :) <stikonas>oriansj: so I've now done M2-Mesoplanet and mescc-tools-extra <stikonas>I think I don't have any permissions to make release for other subprojects <stikonas>we still need to do M2-Planet, mescc-tools and bootstrap-seeds <stikonas>and then stage0-posix that I again have permissions... <stikonas>(well, I could do the other 3 too if you grant me permissions...) <stikonas>argh, make dist for mescc-tools-extra has a bug ... <stikonas>I need to reupload it with the correct name <stikonas>ok, fixed tarball name to be mescc-tools-extra and not mescc-tools <oriansj>fossy and stikonas now have invites for both <matrix_bridge><Andrius Štikonas> Thanks, I'll create releases for those two either later today or tomorrow <oriansj>bootstrap-seeds I will create the release shortly <matrix_bridge><Andrius Štikonas> I was just going to ask for that but you wrote first <matrix_bridge><Andrius Štikonas> And yes, it makes sense to control bootstrap seeds more rightly <oriansj>it is more that; it is assumed that if anything happens that a new repo will be created and everything of value will just move to that <oriansj>but yes, I am a little strict on what get merged there <oriansj>and it sometimes takes me days to do a prper review -_- <oriansj>as long as the core premise and software contract is preserved, people should be able to create their own bootstrap seeds and switch stage0 to using it without any trouble <matrix_bridge><Andrius Štikonas> Yeah, I have absolutely no problem with that <stikonas>oriansj: can you mirro commits/tags from github to savannah?
