08:06 Wuzzy Does the feature freeze in Minetest imply a string freeze? If yes, I can provide to you the missing strings to MTG.
08:06 Wuzzy missing German translations*
08:31 Wuzzy please look at this crash-fixing PR, thanks: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/9000

11:00 Wuzzy Is it still possible to add/change setting descriptions for 5.1.0 or is it too late because of string freeze?
11:08 Krock there's no string freeze yet
11:20 Fixer joined #minetest-dev
11:20 Krock will merge #8958 and #8922 in 20 minutes. latter needs an MTG update afterwards
11:20 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/8958 -- Allow grep-ing for on_grant and on_revoke by DS-Minetest
11:20 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/8922 -- Fix error message caused by adding new parameter to background by rubenwardy
11:25 Krock also #8871. Unlikely to break anything
11:25 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/8871 -- Move Quicktune code to util/ by ClobberXD
11:39 Krock merging
11:41 Krock done
11:49 kilbith joined #minetest-dev
11:50 kilbith I'm kinda disapointed that neither hypertext[] or craftguide won't slip into 5.1
11:51 kilbith I don't think we'll bother to fix the code style ever again and I'm afraid to say that the next release will be pretty boring because of that
12:01 Krock to be fair, it's also a massive PR with much work spent on it
12:01 Krock it surely won't die, and I'd like to see it in 5.2.0
12:02 Krock if you don't have time to change the code style, someone else (maybe me) will adopt it
12:03 kilbith that's fine by me then
12:10 Wuzzy do you have an style codeline that people can just paste into their console?
12:11 Wuzzy style → astyle
12:11 Wuzzy code style fixes are boooooooooooring
12:11 Krock excuse me what?
12:17 Wuzzy astyle
12:17 Wuzzy never heard of that?
12:17 Wuzzy astyle is a program to automatically apply code style stuff
12:18 Wuzzy Do you have a command line for astyle that people can just paste n their console to fix all the code style automagically? would safe infinite amounts of boring work
12:23 kilbith https://i.imgur.com/nQ5MLSc.png
12:23 kilbith https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/blob/master/mods/creative/inventory.lua#L113
12:23 kilbith minetest.colorize is broken
12:24 sfan5 uh oh indeed
12:24 sfan5 wonder who broke it
12:24 Wuzzy to be precise: minetest.colorize is broken for label[]
12:24 Wuzzy i believe it never worked for label[]
12:25 kilbith it didn't
12:25 kilbith *it did
12:25 Wuzzy uh-oh then that's a regression
12:25 kilbith realized it brokes in craftguide recently too
12:26 sfan5 ok that was easy
12:26 sfan5 it's this commit >> https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commit/2c9edefde3d941b1efa5c93a087814d6bc3509e6
12:26 celeron55 the problem with automatic style tools like astyle is that none i've seen so far are capable of MT's style rules
12:27 Wuzzy ?
12:27 Wuzzy change MT's style rules then? XD
12:28 celeron55 they all have their preferred style that has weird unconfigurable stuff
12:28 Wuzzy ?
12:28 celeron55 and then just give fine options for fine tuning random portions of it, not all
12:28 celeron55 -fine
12:28 Wuzzy ok this is bad
12:29 Wuzzy indeed ?
12:29 celeron55 i recall astyle doesn't even support C++11
12:29 celeron55 a single lambda will break it
12:29 Wuzzy boo!
12:29 Wuzzy i never really liked astyle either
12:29 celeron55 maybe it's been improved though
12:30 Krock oh no it was me again who broke it
12:31 Gokearl left #minetest-dev
12:36 Krock also " getStyleForElement("label", spec.fname);" .. hmm, there's no fname
12:40 kilbith isn't that `flabel` instead?
12:42 Krock no, it should be the element name, but there's no such property for labels. hence it'll be just an empty string
12:43 rubenwardy kilbith: I'm very close to approving hypertext, so I'd be surprised if it's not in 5.2
12:43 * Krock should probably test the color stuff with freetype enabled when testing on master
12:43 rubenwardy over time, I've cared less and less about code style
12:43 rubenwardy code style reviews are lazy
12:44 rubenwardy Wuzzy: it may be style related, as style allows you to set the base color, but colorize should still apply on top of that
12:44 kilbith I expected 5.1 to be the big formspec release tbh
12:45 rubenwardy same
12:45 rubenwardy it's better to release regularly than spend until January working on it
12:46 rubenwardy "regularly" ha
12:46 rubenwardy well, I guess 6 months since the last release is regular, just not frequent
12:49 kilbith I'd like to re-open the dynamic shadows PR at some point too
12:49 Wuzzy good for having a proper release schedule instead of delaying a release forever cuz of one missing feature
12:49 Krock we could also wait a year to make it like a second 5.0.0 release with all sorts of new features and bugfixes, but sorter cycles are better IMO
12:49 Krock *shorter
12:50 rubenwardy I should update my roadmap
12:51 rubenwardy things I want to do currently:   Better mainmenu with support for per-game customisation,     dependency installation in CDB (urgh),   font sizes in labels,  labels with sizes and alignment
12:51 rubenwardy what I should do currently: fix bugs
12:53 Krock will push https://krock-works.uk.to/u/patches/0001-label-Fix-broken-colors-since-2c9edef.patch in 15 minutes unless there are objections
12:53 rubenwardy oh lol
12:53 kilbith the mainmenu shall be the showcase of the last GUI features
12:54 rubenwardy yeah
12:54 rubenwardy it'll use formspec styling and re-coordinates
13:03 celeron55 i just tried to set up uncrustify to format MT's codebase... and lo and behold, it stops indenting comments inside a class when it sees ~ChatBuffer() = default; inside
13:03 celeron55 these things just won't work
13:03 celeron55 in buildat i added my own post processor to run after uncrustify which re-indents everything
13:03 celeron55 it worked fairly well
13:06 Calinou why not clang-format?
13:06 Calinou it's not perfect by any measure still, there's lots of things it can't enforce
13:07 Krock clang-format is really horrible in certain situations
13:07 Krock such as continued lines and indention
13:09 Krock pushing fix
13:20 sfan5 how do we handle translations in feature freeze?
13:20 sfan5 more specifically, mtg has two outstanding translation PRs
13:20 sfan5 it'd be quite nice to get them in for 5.1 (if they can be reviewing appropriately), but does the freeze permit that?
13:21 sfan5 s/reviewing/reviewed/
13:21 Krock yes
13:21 Krock they might be features, but are unlikely to break anything
13:22 Krock rubenwardy also wanted to update the engine translations recently. I can do that as well if he doesn't have time for it
13:22 rubenwardy aren't they bug fixes?
13:22 celeron55 so, check this https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/commit/48515b9b2e0f19819da97eeba8fea503eb84629f
13:22 rubenwardy translations are usually merged during feature freezes anyway
13:22 Krock rubenwardy: sfan5 is talking about italian client side translations
13:22 celeron55 the thing to check in automatic code style changes is whether it does something utterly stupid
13:22 sfan5 Krock: (and spanish)
13:23 Krock and spanish
13:23 celeron55 not whether it matches perfectly to official or personal preferences
13:23 Krock oh. I had to look up what the other was :3
13:23 celeron55 usually these do something stupid and it doesn't come even close to preferences
13:24 Krock /<tab> is stupid in first place
13:24 Krock * //
13:25 Krock and pointers in function return values should be on the other side as well, to follow the general pointer placement rules
13:25 celeron55 well for firsts none of these tools understand that comments can be commented-out code
13:25 Krock which code formatter is that?
13:25 celeron55 that's easy, but wasn't specified in our rules
13:26 celeron55 https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/commit/259c0f25da3fcc00a34a5b3681de6af35fa94041
13:26 celeron55 it's mostly uncrustify, but afterwards helped by a piece of python crap written by me
13:26 celeron55 uncrustify is good at fomatting but not very good at indenting
13:27 Krock so to say - weak rules first, then correct what uncrustify can't do?
13:27 celeron55 uncrustify does everything, including things it can't, and then it re-indents everything
13:27 celeron55 i mean the python script re-indents everything
13:29 celeron55 >well for firsts none of these tools understand that comments can be commented-out code
13:29 celeron55 altough, my python script does indent commented out code, as long as it's multi line commented
13:29 Krock ah
13:29 celeron55 IIRC
13:29 celeron55 (that was a thing i wanted)
13:31 celeron55 the end result of uncrustify is completely re-formatted aside from comments, and even they get their line breaks redone
13:34 tomraceror joined #minetest-dev
13:38 celeron55 >that's easy, but
13:39 celeron55 well, not easy, because at least the version of uncrustify i'm using doesn't understand ClientInterface::getClientNoEx is a function
13:40 celeron55 it thinks it's a "word"
13:40 celeron55 so then fixing it breaks normal pointer variable definitions
13:40 celeron55 so, in this case i'd just change the stle
13:40 celeron55 style*
13:42 nepugia joined #minetest-dev
13:44 celeron55 anyway, there's a challenge; try to do better than that hack
13:45 celeron55 https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/commits/autostyle1
13:46 celeron55 you can also try commenting out the python scripts at the end of util/codestyle.sh
13:47 Cornelia joined #minetest-dev
13:50 Krock #8464 removing the docs for now, or marking it as deprecated would be the best solution I suppose
13:50 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/8464 -- Remove tool filtering
14:02 tomraceror joined #minetest-dev
14:09 Wuzzy Krock: I'd rather go with marking at deprecated since it was already in docs in 5.0.0
14:10 Wuzzy just removing the docs would be really confusing, i guess
14:10 Wuzzy IMO deprecation is also my favourite solution. Oddly, sfan5 is opposed. ?
14:11 sfan5 where did you read that?
14:11 rubenwardy I support deprecation
14:11 rubenwardy groups are a much better way to do this
14:11 rubenwardy and more consistent with the rest of the API
14:11 Wuzzy i read that ... between the lines? ummm my mind must be broken today ?
14:12 Wuzzy groups... exactly! that was the entire point. obviously out of reach now

16:43 ANAND Do we have an RC for 5.1.0?
16:43 ANAND An official one, that is
16:46 paramat for #8464 i support deprecating and discouraging use, for 5.1.0, since it will probably be removed later
16:46 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/8464 -- Remove tool filtering
16:50 p_gimeno ANAND: I'd say it's too soon for RCs since it's barely in feature freeze anyway
16:52 Krock there's one on the forums
16:52 Krock see News (or so)
16:53 p_gimeno official?
16:53 ANAND p_gimeno: Right, I thought I missed an RC announcement bc Wuzzy mentions 5.1.0-RC1 in #9005
16:53 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/9005 -- Waving liquid render bug if solid block is above liquid
16:53 ANAND Oh, so there is one?
16:53 Krock https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&amp;t=23386
16:58 ANAND Nice
16:58 p_gimeno calling that RC1 with known issues that are planned to be fixed in the final version, is somewhat rushed. It mostly defeats the meaning of "release candidate".
17:14 Krock inb4 RC2

17:47 Krock will merge #8974 in 10 minutes (or so)
17:47 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/8974 -- Textures: Load base pack only as last fallback by SmallJoker
17:56 Krock merging
18:08 Cornelia joined #minetest-dev
18:33 Wuzzy Krock: this patch in #8974 works fine for me
18:33 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/8974 -- Textures: Load base pack only as last fallback by SmallJoker
18:33 Wuzzy thanks
18:34 Krock considering that it was made to fix that issue confirms that it does its job
18:34 Krock IIRC there's still another PR to move some textures
18:35 Krock but I don't think that's for 5.1.0
18:35 Wuzzy Doees this now unlock https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/8845?
18:35 Wuzzy (if we could pretend there is no feature freeze :D)
18:36 Krock ah. That PR
18:42 Cornelia joined #minetest-dev
18:48 paramat joined #minetest-dev
18:53 paramat soon i'll make a PR to document tool filtering as deprecated
