Discussion:
- TAC Project Update next meeting, Dec 14. Review the slide deck:
- Profile of project and community
- Graphs of commit/PR reviews, TSC vs. non-TSC
- Larry: I’m surprised I rank that highly
- Cary: You approve a ton of PR’s
- Larry: but they’re all small
- Cary: so a PR isn’t a consistent unit of technical substance, but sow what.
- Larry: We were good about some things early on like Sonarcloud, but they’ve fallen by the wayside, coverage has declined.
- Kimball: I had the core at 90% coverage, but it’s slipped.
- Cary: Would be good to include stats for issue comments, although it’s like similar to PR’s
- Roadmap:
- Similar to project ideas, but we need a timeline.
- Should break the slides into a backlog of ideas vs. what we plan in the next 12 months.
- Kimball: C++/Core integration: Have made some steps towards it. Need to restart. What I have is not what we should do. Should delete half of what I’ve done, but do what Larry was talking about first.
- Need entry on ABI compatible. Which has dependencies on Imath. Lessening the impact on changes between VFX platform years.
- Should call out issues where we’d like contributions from the community.
- Kimball: Yes, like the threadpool stuff. I would love someone to submit a PR that does at configurable threadpool/workerpool.
- Peter: call out which things are file format changes vs. ABI change
- Contributions that don’t require ABI change or format, they’re easier
- Wave says there are changes at Apple that haven’t made it back to us.
- We should mention Aras, not on TSC, but he made an analysis that was very useful. Should mention him.
- Joseph: By 2023/24 hope to bring something back from SMPTE re standard attributes
- Pkg-config issue
- Nick: I got confused
- Kimball: should make it a config option
- Peter: Confusion in the terminology. Relative to where the file is, or relative to a variable?
