Chapt 11 PR: when do we freeze?
by Raffaele Viglianti 31 Jul '20

31 Jul '20

Hello, I know we entered the refrigeration period yesterday, though I see some activity on the chapt 11 PR https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/pull/2014 It would be awesome to be able to include these changes if we get sufficient feedback. Since they're all prose changes, I'd say that we can push closer to the release date, because the build is not likely to be gravely affected by these changes. However, it would be good to have a firm deadline (a freeze?) also to put some pressure on those contributing. Any suggestions or concerns? What about a deadline of August 9, the Sunday before the release on the 12th? Raff

MH> Have you switched to dev and done a pull? PS> your local dev branch is probably out of date. Try to checkout (switch to) dev first and do a `git pull` there.

Yes, I had failed to (properly) pull into dev. BTW, I use the -m switch (which allows you to specify the commit message on the commandline) rather than rely on the default behavior because when git tries to prompt for the commit message from within Emacs it fails, kinda spectacularly. (All right, that may be an exaggeration, but certainly annoyingly.)

UVic Jenkins down
by Martin Holmes 30 Jul '20

30 Jul '20

Hi all, Just a heads-up that the UVic Jenkins server is down. Our sysadmins tried to migrate it to a new VM infrastructure yesterday, and it looks like the process was not successful. I'm currently on vacation and don't have regular network access, so the timing wasn't great. I don't know when it's expected to be back up, I'm afraid. Cheers, Martin

git help: 24 behind, but merge says up-to-date
by Syd Bauman 30 Jul '20

30 Jul '20

If I look at the sydb-standOff branch on GitHub[1], I find that the standOff branch is 24 commits behind dev. But if I try to merge, I am told that it is already up-to-date: $ pwd | /home/syd/Documents/TEI_sydb-standOff $ git status -uno | On branch sydb-standOff | Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/sydb-standOff'. | nothing to commit (use -u to show untracked files) $ git pull # not that I expect anything | Already up-to-date. $ git merge -m "What happens in dev does not stay in dev" dev | Already up-to-date. $ # What? Website says I'm behind 'dev' by 24 commits. What am I doing something wrong here? Kinda pressing, because this branch should be folded into dev before we refrigerate (or at least before we freeze).

WADM mtg
by Syd Bauman 21 Jul '20

21 Jul '20

Since no one answered my 2 e-mails from this morning, I am very suspicious they did not make it to the list (and I cannot check, due to certificate error from https://lists.lists.tei-c.org/mailman/listinfo/tei-council) And while I’m at it, Hugh had a document with several proposals for encoding WADM. Is that the Annotations in TEI GoogleDoc, or is there a separate document I can’t find at the moment? We (SB, HC, NC, RV, and anyone else who wants to) are still planning to meet tomorrow 13:00Z, right? Where are we meeting? I did not get a chance to look at WADM over the weekend as planned (entirely frustrated by Linux installation stuff instead), but am planning to start looking at WADM now.

Git branch naming
by Hugh Cayless 03 Jul '20

03 Jul '20

Hi All, Some of you may have come across the recent move toward changing the default branch name in Git away from "master" to (probably) "main". My understanding is that GitHub is working on this, and that it will probably happen in Git as well. I'm aware of a number of projects that are moving ahead immediately on renaming their master branches. On the one hand, I'm generally in favor of this. The "master" terminology probably came from BitKeeper, which had "master" and "slave" repositories (rather than branches). I had always assumed it was meant in the sense of "master copy", like in sound recordings. But see also https://twitter.com/xpasky/status/1271477451756056577 from the person responsible for the name (not a native English speaker). On the other hand, I'm slightly cynical about this sort of thing, as it's the kind of change one can make and feel righteous about without being *actually* significantly anti-racist. It's a bit performative, but sometimes it's important to set an example. So I think we should consider going through the renaming process for TEI repos. There are probably some implications to doing that, broken links being the first one that comes to mind. What do you all think? Hugh

circular build headache suggestion
by Syd Bauman 16 Jun '20

16 Jun '20

The circularity of the P5 and Stylesheets builds depending on each other has bitten us once again. (Ouch!) We have a situation now where the Stylesheets tests can succeed only against either the release branch of P5 or the dev branch of P5, but not both simultaneously. This sucks. Right now Stylesheets dev branch is successfully building against P5 release[1], but failing against P5 dev branch[2]. We believe that the reverse would make a lot more sense. While it is desirable that it build against both branches, it is frequently impossible. So we have to pick one, and we (Martin & Syd) think we should pick them as follows: * P5 release branch should be built with the P5 release Stylesheets * P5 dev branch should be built with the P5 dev Stylesheets * Stylesheets release should be built against P5 release branch * Stylesheets dev should be built against P5 release dev as a general rule. This means we would have to always release a new Stylesheets the same day we release P5 every time. It also means that if we ever had a reason we needed to do an interim release of either, we would have to fight with the circularity problem (probably by trying to make sure both branches work against each other, or temporarily suppressing some finicky tests). But the advantage is that "normal" releases and updates would work properly. So what we would like to do is: * Update Stylesheets deb branch tests so that they work against P5 deb (which will break them against P5 release branch) * Have Peter & Martin agree on a consistent set of explicit job names in Jenkins that perform the 4 builds listed above. Notes ----- [1] E.g. on jenkins.tei-c job "Stylesheets-dev" and jenkins2.tei-c job "Stylesheets-dev-against-P5-release". [2] E.g. on jenkins.tei-c job "Stylesheets-dev-against-TEIP5-dev" and jenkins2.tei-c job "Stylesheets-dev-against-TEIP5-dev".

off topic: new ODD based non-TEI schema

Dear all, here I want to bring to your attention a project of a colleague called "Music Performance Markup" (MPM): https://axelberndt.github.io/MPM/ I want to share this with you because it’s a great example of an ODD based non-TEI schema, and it features a nice rendering of the documentation. If we ever wanted to redesign our Spec pages, this might give us some ideas :) Have fun Peter

housekeeping: delete stale branches
by Peter Stadler 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

Dear all, here’s yet another(?) proposal for housekeeping: Both Stylesheets and Guidelines repo feature various stale branches which I would like to get rid off [1,2]. Some of those are prefixed with a Councilists name so I encourage everyone to look through his/her branches and eventually delete outdated/unused/forgotten branches. Some of the stale branches are even just behind dev without featuring any commits *ahead* of dev (e.g. the TEI/help branch). I think those can safely be removed and would do so in the next days if no one objects. This does include release branches which I’d also like to get rid of because IMHO they do not serve any purpose anymore (the important information is kept in the tags).

P5/Utilities-1 and P5/Utilities
by Peter Stadler 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

Dear all, while working on some old TEI->LaTeX->PDF issues I stumbled (once again) across those two folders P5/Utilities-1 and P5/Utilities in the Guidelines repo. Can somebody shed some light on the difference of these folders? I’m especially interested in the file guidelines-latex.xsl which exists in both directories but only the one in Utilities seems to be used for building the PDF version of the Guidelines? Many thanks Peter

Noto fonts
by Peter Stadler 03 Jun '20

Hi Martin, I'm about to push some changes to the TEI repo that will set the Google Noto fonts as default for the PDF Guidelines (processed via LaTeX). That requires the fonts-noto-cjk package (on Debian) in the respective build environment. It is already included in our Jenkins Docker image but you might need to add that manually to your Jenkins? Just wanted to give you a warning (shortly) ahead of time ;) Best Peter
