A

Questioner yeah we recording at the moment yeah I, just say: okay, like see only goodness.

B

Sure so, I've mostly been trading on Allen's toes and I've, been treading on my toes all over some PR suggest. I give s so I've been trying to land the adding via async iterators, which has men, yeah, updating some other modules as well. So the because you've got a whole bunch of like outstanding module upgrades that we need to perform.

B

So in order to get the async iterate offering, because we've changed slightly, how things work around like adding strings and stuff so now, you're gonna be able to like add a string, and that string is going to appear as the file contents of the file he was added. But the interface tests say that you shouldn't be outside strings because at some point in the dim and distant past they were treated as parts and it was as either ten either add from FS function and then remove the ability to add a string.

B

But it's something that people from pro school mention quite a lot. It's like not having to know what a buffer is before you can start using like FS kind of so.

B

Basically, the integration see the interface tests need updating to accept strings, but to do that, we need to update it in chairs of your essence and dudes that we need to upgrade either first, the CTL in all the various libraries they use it. So because the changes go across the HTTP client and they go across the call implementation itself.

B

They both need to cut to pull under latest interface tests, which will have the fixes that change the behavior and adding strings and that kind of stuff, so I have done the PR, the updates client to have delays, ipfs, D CTL, which music and then use the latest interface core.

B

Okay, it's kind of full up stuff from that, so in our shared function to be from the core and the client into the utils module trying to normalize the inputs in a centralized place. So that code isn't duplicated. That kind I think that in my week, so yes, it is all going along swimmingly.

B

Now, there's gonna finish his PR. That adds that support, which is going to be super nice and that's going to affect how the well it was affecting how I was starting to change the modules so a chance to change the ad methods will route via this async iterator method, so yeah. That is me any questions.

B

Cool Stevens you only given up.

C

This week, I will be reviewing the fact amount patches other than that. I would like to try to land if it's papac's I have yeah and then probably that's usually our view.

C

What was the last thing you wanted to land a bit swap that's right, the Dione yeah. It's all changed. I have for trying to Lee better stay connected to Pierce we're if it's walking with.

C

Don't be like find time.

D

Thank you, then. You gonna have any like async updates from folks who are not present today.

A

Yes, I guess, as far as I know interests being doing a bunch of research stuff, basically for package managers.

A

So last week, II demoed an implementation of a tool that allows people to verify that packages like a package release is kosher, I guess um so it's it's kind of like it's kind like a website, I guess where people can it sort of works a little bit like the way that get a pull request, work and that you can sort of like approve release and then it's got a whole like trust system that he set up and he's kind of kind of experimenting with um I.

A

Don't know: isn't your nuts on the call I guess not so I think that I didn't it's just been continuing. His work on pub/sub and Dominic has been continuing. His work on fuse integration is that sound right, Steven.

B

You know something is by right.

B

Also, something interesting has happened. Is Michaels opened a pull request against Cena capacity, one spec to add metadata to the file objects, which is quite cool, and so it's starting with the mode or permissions and then a bunch of like time, stuff so modified time, access time, creation time, that kind of thing and there's a bit of back and forth on whether or not these things are actually worth, including you know if they just do more harm than good, so that some progress, then.

C

I think this would be kind of a like. I will do something because we need. We need that in the exercise, but we do need creation times or modification times and we need likely be modes. We probably don't need user names, but like we do it once we may not be happy with where we put the potato, because if there's a list of a ton like, if you put it the file, if you put it the directory, to put it another block like how do you deal with all this?

C

But we kind of Ashley I, don't know care less, because we're Kleenex must be do anyways.

B

Yeah I mean the access time is pretty racy, because every time you look up phone you're, gonna change, it yeah.

C

I'm I'm less concerned about that I think we might just might not have it it's like what a lot of subdue is the e cycle well tax time, but I think they'd be either like fuzz it or like it's like. If the access time is newer than the multiplication time, I didn't record. Another isotope I can work. Sorry how that works.

C

I'd almost just like drop the accent, I would say whatever we don't support it. A lot of Austin stone tool was almost never rely on it because a lot of Austin's don't but that's. This is a make sure that we have been healthy, yeah.

B

Yeah, we really have one guy kind of pipe off as a this is going to change the hash every time, which means the metadata yeah I guess we're just kind of accepted as a limitation of of the full matter, but yeah.

C

I, like so one one think they'll help there is that I I believe them like these.

E

Often should be out wrong like when.

C

You add a file by default. You can tell them by like, or maybe you get like default modes like so you like a default, execute there's like that yeah, but then like. If you need these, then, like you feel like mount, that's like with a flag that allows you to it like have certain custom attributes, but not the rest of them. Yeah.

B

I think it would be a good idea to of defaults. Cuz that would give us buck was comparability as well yeah.

C

Cuz like, but most the time like you don't know you these, this is really like. Active interests need them, archives need them, but like farm styling and website at you, fast I, don't care about these things and, like honestly, most the tools. I use, don't use access time through modification because they tend not to be, though they're, reliable anyways. So all these tools are just relying on like a has to check some changed. It hasn't changed. Okay, fine.

B

That's he I'm it's a fair point. Like does our checksum change I'll check some, it's a hash. The multi hash inside the security could be the checksum of the fob and it's gonna change every time. Every.

E

Time you changing.

D

What's the path for um I don't know putting a deadline on the bike or letting the bike should go on for just long enough. That is useful and then getting everyone to commit such that we can make progress on.

C

The do you discuss, we won stuff, I, I, think just getting enough people to review it and then say: yes, we are happy with us and just move forward.

D

Should we bring it to a design review, threaten the core implementation meeting in a coming yeah.

C

Now that we have PR yeah, that's a good idea.

D

There are things I.

D

Would like to propose that we push this meeting back by 15 minutes, or so it now overlaps with an extended gateway, tea meeting. That makes it a little bit difficult to leave. Leave that meeting and come to this meeting so I mean they're gonna, be 15 minutes late to this one or leave that one 15 minutes early, so I would prefer if there were no conflict, and we don't seem to take up a full hour any more.

F

Curious is the yeah.

B

Don't you have a cross project coordination, sync up 5 as well.

E

D

But I don't think this meeting is gonna take a full hour or it hasn't been. It's been taking half an hour. You currently have an hour scheduled for that's great yeah, less meeting, okay, I'll, stick it in the chapters, so other people who aren't here can thumbs up it as well, but generally will either push back by 15 or 30 minutes.

D

Right any other package, manager' related agenda items, I, don't know if you guys have taken a look through the I mean just look. A nice actually just wrote our okay guys, but in September.

D

And so we we are getting close to the end of the quarter, so I think a good opportunity to look at the things that we take it on and say: hey this thing was important he's like someone else who can pick it up and take it on as an owner. It's it more important than the last month of q3 work that someone else is planning to do or hey I'm, really not going into this cuz.

D

The stuff I'm working on right now is more important and then just like preemptively, not stressing yourself out with having lots of different things.

D

We can Alex.

D

Well, I will stick the recording of this meeting somewhere and, let's call it quits it's we don't have anything else to talk about.

B

F

Thanks a lot, everyone happy Tuesday.
