Discussion:
The repo has moved. All seems to have gone smoothly.
Looks like azure pipeline needs to be set up in the new org. PR’s are not currently triggering builds.
Larry asked about GitHub merge policy. “Allow squash merging” has now been turned on.
Imath repo: Let’s begin with a very simple example of pybind11, then add to it gradually.
Nick: We should remove ImathRandom from Imath, and rely on C++11 random. But this will require careful testing.
#484 - the “-x” option to limit memory usage: not worth the complexity. We considered this back when we were questioning how to deal with security vulnerabilities, but none of us feel that this is a necessary feature, or one that adequately addresses a security issue.
#591 - pthread support for mingw: PR needs serious cleanup, not acceptable in its current form.
#215 - uninstall target: good enough idea, but we’d like a “dry run” option.
#344 - new DwaCompressor setting. Should be a part of a performance metric suite.
