Dallas.p6m
Hello friends! s1n and I decided that we would start Dallas.p6m as we are close to each other geographically speaking. We are meeting tomorrow (Thursday, March 19, 7:00PM) at a coffee shop with free wifi. The address is 985 W Bethany Dr Allen, TX 75013. So far it looks like it will be s1n, me, and two or three of my co-workers. We don't really have an agenda, but I figure I will ask s1n about some PIR stuff and if he wants I can chat about some perl 6 stuff (although he may know more about that as well.) Anyway, you are invited to come and have a good time! We will probably be more organized in the future, but for now this will work :-) -- fREW Schmidt http://blog.afoolishmanifesto.com
Re: perl6 Testing
And should I just mail patches to rakudo...@perl.org? In general if you find a bug: yes. In this case not, because it's a known limitation. Where do I mail the patches for the tests? -- -fREW
perl6 Testing
Hi! I'd like to get started adding these: is capitalize(:string($a)), Pugs Is Cool!, capitalize works with named arg rakudo and pugs both fail this test. Should I add it anyway? And should I just mail patches to rakudo...@perl.org? Or should this technically be pugs? -- -fREW
Re: How do I help?
Since the tests are all written in Perl 6, you have to learn at least a bit of the language. I figured that; I just wanted to start off with perl6 before I did anything in PIR. In the pugs repo there's a file in t/TASKS that contains a list of things to be done - maybe you can start there. In case of doubt join our IRC channel (irc.freenode.org/#perl6) and ask for guidance there. I'll see if I can take care of some of these. The one that looks like I could learn a lot from and definitely do is the one where you test builtin functions with named parameters as most of these having been tested that way yet. I hope it helps! -- -fREW
How do I help?
Hello friends! I just recently read Ovid's post on use Perl about how we can help by fixing PUGS tests. I was a little clear on what he meant and I am a little anxious to do something. I checked out the code for parrot already and I am getting the pugs code while I write this. Anyone have any ideas for stuff that's easy enough for a regular old perl5 guy to do but boring enough not to be done? I'll be looking through the tests for stuff that I should try to take care of. -- -fREW
