Re: [S09] Whatever indices and shaped arrays

[Larry Wall]

I like it.  I'm a bit strapped for time at the moment, but if you send
me a patch for S09 I can probably dig up a program to apply it with.  :)

new Parrot project manager

[Allison Randal]

We're splitting off the Parrot project manager role from the Perl 6 
project manager role, to make better use of the time and energy of 
available volunteers. Will Coke Coleda has graciously agreed to take 
on the PM responsibilities for Parrot, and Jesse Vincent will continue 
as PM for Perl 6. Many thanks to both of them for their hard work both 
past and future.


On a somewhat related note, Chip has been very much absorbed by work and 
life of late, and talking to him on the phone today we both felt it 
would be best to let everyone know he's officially on sabbatical for a 
while. He plans to return as soon as possible. We've spread much of the 
pumpking's responsibilities across the release managers, and any 
development questions will be redirected to the architect. I'm impressed 
at how the Parrot team has handled losing the contributions of a core 
member, rerouted around the loss, and kept growing. My thanks to all of you.


Happy hacking,
Allison

Could someone advise me on how to create patches?

Single file:

diff -u oldfile newfile

Entire tree:

diff -Nur oldtree/ newtree/

See also diff(1), and note that when diffing trees, you want to
distclean them first :)
