Andrew Josey, The Open Group Apologies Tom Thompson, IEEE * General news On action items from last time: Eric raised an issue with the Etherpad and its use of non-open source javascript: AI:Andrew took an action to contact Richard Hansen to make him aware of the issue. Response:Andrew completed the action Don reminded us of the need to resolve the IEEE MEC comments on draft 3, to enable us to be able to submit draft 4 when we are ready. AI:Andrew and Geoff will meet on Thursday to finalize the response to IEEE and submit prior to the meeting. Response:Andrew and Geoff met and a final response to the D3 MEC comments was sent to the IEEE editor. After the meeting a reply was received from IEEE accepting our response, thus completing the requirement to address the MEC comments for the next draft. We discussed the need for a general status report to be issued, describing where we are in the draft schedule and the cutoff for content to be considered into Issue 8. AI:Andrew to draft status report. A reminder that there is no meeting on November 23rd (US Thanksgiving). We discussed the future meeting schedule and did not set a date yet after the November 20th meeting. We will discuss at that meeting. * Current Business Note for issue resolution all items are tagged for Issue 8 unless noted otherwise or disposition is reject or duplicate. Bug 1786: ed behavior on non-existing filename Reopened https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1786 This was reopened since we had received feedback from the GNU ed maintainer in bugnote 6570. A response was added in bugnote 6571 and the bug left open for further response. Based on Note: 0006570, we did some more investigation into existing implementations. It appears that most implementations clear the buffer change flag on an 'e' or 'q' that warned about a modified buffer, as in the following behavior: $ ed a text . q ? a . q $ where GNU ed was the outlier. The following modifications to the changes suggested at lines 92730 and 92845 in Note: 0006567 would capture that: On page 2797 line 92730 section ed EXTENDED DESCRIPTION, after: The ed utility shall operate on a copy of the file it is editing; changes made to the copy shall have no effect on the file until a w (write) command is given. The copy of the text is called the buffer. add these sentences: The ed utility shall keep track of whether the buffer has been modified. This shall be maintained as if via an internal flag which is set by any command that modifies the buffer and is cleared by a w command that writes the entire buffer, or by an e, E, or q command. A command that makes changes to the buffer in such a way that its contents are the same after the command (for example s/a/a/) shall be considered to have modified the buffer, unless explicitly stated otherwise. In the remainder of the description, this flag is referred to as the buffer change flag. On page 2800 line 92844, change: ... and shall continue in command mode with the current line number unchanged. If the e or q command is repeated with no intervening command, it shall take effect. to ... and shall continue in command mode with the buffer change flag cleared and the current line number unchanged. If another e or q command is then attempted with no intervening command that sets the buffer change flag, it shall take effect. We will continue on this item next time.
