00:18 kilbith welp, I believe no one would oppose if we dedicate 5.7 for Jude like we did for RBA.

06:46 welfarejazz Hi, sorry for the probably bad question. Generally speaking, how does lighting in Minetest work? I'm looking through what seem to be lighting files (light.cpp,light.h) and I'm not really understanding it at all.

15:32 kilbith we need to determine what exactly will happen with that now: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pulls/TurkeyMcMac

16:01 sfan5 will be adopted, probably

17:08 cat-master21[m] I have a question related to my PR (https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/13078) I think it should be ready to merge now but please let me know if it isn't
17:37 Krock is there an appimage build that could be tested?
17:37 Krock I'd also extract its contents to proof-check that it actually includes the newer zstd library for better compatibility
17:38 Krock and merge after confirming that
17:52 kilbith joined #minetest-dev
17:58 cat-master21[m] Well I tried to build it in a VM and I decided to not change where sources are from but I did have one at the beginning. Look at my initial revision of my description
17:59 cat-master21[m] https://github.com/minetest/minetest/files/10301223/Minetest-5.6.1-x86_64.AppImage.zip
18:13 Krock > Couldn't find a locale directory!
18:14 Krock hmm they're located in /usr/local/share/locale/ ... Minetest should find that.

18:20 Krock INFO[Main]: Detected share path: /tmp/.mount_MineteKH9azg/usr/local/bin/../share/minetest
18:21 Krock cat-master21[m]: is the "locale" directory packed correctly? Minetest expects /usr/local/share/mintest/locale
18:24 Krock at least moving the directory and rebuilding the AppImage now results in proper language detection
18:29 Krock other than that it looks good. pmap and pldd on the process show that the bundled libraries are used
18:36 sfan5 i dont really have a lot of time to review again so feel free to merge if you think its good
18:36 rubenwardy sfan5: did you want to review #12315 or can it be merged?
18:36 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/12315 -- Add world-independent storage directory for mods by rubenwardy
18:37 sfan5 does the function take a parameter yet
18:41 rubenwardy I decided against that originally but I don't mind that much, can add that now
18:41 rubenwardy might cause issues if we ever want to add write protection
18:42 sfan5 there, commented
18:42 sfan5 ignore the thing about the param
18:48 Krock > It's possible that multiple Minetest instances are running at the same
18:48 Krock oh yes indeed. there's no actual solution for that, right?
18:51 Krock well I guess it does not matter that much when you should be using containers anyway
18:55 Krock Zughy wanted to start the meeting an hour ago. Oh well, is anyone up for going through the topics? If there's less than say 3 devs it does not make much sense
19:11 kilbith joined #minetest-dev
19:20 Zughy[m] We need to call for a feature freeze if we don't want to reschedule the next release again
19:20 Zughy[m] Release often yadda yadda
19:25 celeron55 i'm here, but not sure how up to date i'm on the specific topics
19:33 Krock last time it was the dual wielding PR that held back the release because we kinda promised it and I suppose that's the case again
19:38 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> could I maybe sneak in a PR today before the next release
19:38 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> (a small PR)
19:44 rubenwardy definitely time
19:44 rubenwardy <+Krock> oh yes indeed. there's no actual solution for that, right?
19:44 rubenwardy hmm, there's not. Are there atomic read/write OS APIs?
19:44 rubenwardy really you'd have to use locks or something
19:45 rubenwardy kind of a mess, maybe needs some thought before mods depend on it
19:45 rubenwardy in other projects I'd use something like redis as a cache between multiple processes
19:46 Krock so mods would have to create and remove lock files themselves
19:46 Krock if they're designed to run on multiple instances
19:46 rubenwardy perhaps. Would quickly become a mess though
19:49 kabou not a dev, so sorry if i intrude and take my opinions with a grain of salt, but how about making a concerted effort to finish and include some of jude's pr's and dedicating the release to him?
19:58 celeron55 that's not in the "let's do a feature freeze" territory, and will definitely reschedule the release. but if someone has the time, i'm not opposing
19:58 celeron55 then again even in that case why not do the feature freeze and do jude's PRs after that
19:58 Zughy[m] I mean, it's getting rescheduled anyeay
19:58 Zughy[m] *anyway
