Discussion:

Discussion:

  • ASWF Project Adoption Proposal has been sent to the TAC. Next steps: wait a few days for comments, then solicit a vote by the TAC, the put the motion to the ASWF board, hopefully within a week.

  • Once adoption is complete, the next step is to move the repo to the ASWF GitHu organization.

  • Larry created RB-2.4 branch, in preparation for 2.4 patch releases. He uses this naming scheme for OIIO, etc, seems a reasonable convention to follow. The branch markers are where changes go; release tags (e.g. v2.4.1) are for actual releases, once they're cut.

  • We'll resolve to discuss at the first TSC meeting of every month whether enough fixes have gone into the patch branch to warrant a patch release. Using the GitHub process, the overhead is low.

  • We need to configure Azure to run on RB-2.4, upon merge.

  • Kimball noted that his distro, Arch Linux, has updated to v2.4.0.

  • Larry reports that he's been integrating 2.4.0 into other projects and it's been going well, build files are working as expected.

  • Adam Ferrall-Nunge at ILM had a problem with python2_7/imath.so not getting installed by “make install” Let sit for discussion on TAC, will pass it on the private list Should be #ifdef, not $if HAVE_FOO, not strong opinion.

  • Nick noted inconsistencies between #if HAVE_FOO v. #ifdef HAVE_FOO. By the current practice, we should probably prefer #ifdef over #if.

  • Discussion of specific issues is recorded in the GitHub Issues:

    • #597 solution is to check in the generated .h's to the repo, with make targets to generate them.

    • #595 #593 #592 seems to all be a problem with pkg-config files. Kimball to investigate.

    • #591 fix is to strip out C++98 copatibility code, rely solely on C++11 threads.

    • #583 CMake seems to be confused by something in the local boost installation, not sure what to do.

    • #581 Remove IlmMisc.h from distribution.
