 <<<Back 1 day (to 2015/10/07)20151008 
mvrhel_laptop done for the day...00:09.53 
Robin_Watts tor8: bug 696251 might be worth a quick look.10:57.14 
  I think it used to work.10:57.27 
  I can only imagine that it may have been broken by paulgardiners recent changes to fix digital signatures.10:58.00 
tor8 oh... yeah. that pdf creation api is a bit fragile :(11:18.45 
  Robin_Watts: I'm working on a patch to add spans of different fonts/matrices to fz_text11:19.12 
Robin_Watts tor8: Really?12:10.03 
tor8 Robin_Watts: or did you already start on that?12:10.27 
Robin_Watts Surely that's too big a change for this release.12:10.27 
tor8 it is; I don't expect to merge that before release12:10.42 
Robin_Watts No, I'm swamped in SOT.12:10.47 
  Right, well, there are things that should be fixed for the release.12:10.56 
  Basically, we need to run through the bugs. Simple ones need to be fixed. Enhancements need to be labeled as such, and stupid requests etc need to be discarded.12:14.16 
tor8 I have been going through them. I just need a break!12:15.04 
  a huge chunk are epub layout/css stuff I need to tackle after release12:15.31 
Robin_Watts yeah, the epub stuff all looked like "yes, yes, we don't do that yet"12:22.36 
kens2 chrisl I've pushed the changes for floating point exceptions in mul, div and add. These need changes to the configure script to work on Linux. I did test with HAVE_ISNAN and HAVE_ISINF forcibly defined and the cluster worked without problems.12:56.37 
chrisl kens2: Okay, I'll look at it when I have a moment12:57.20 
kens2 No rush. Shall I assign teh bug to you so you don;t forget it ?12:57.35 
chrisl Yes, thanks12:57.42 
kens2 NP12:57.46 
henrys I could have sworn I sent out vacation notice but I don't see it in my sent folder.13:51.34 
  chrisl, kens2 did either of you get vacation email from me for next week?13:54.22 
chrisl henrys: not that I recall - when might you have sent it?13:54.47 
kens2 I htought I did, let me check13:54.52 
  Seems not13:55.10 
henrys a few weeks back I thought13:55.13 
  ruh oh13:55.20 
mvrhel_laptop henrys: have a good trip/visit. 14:24.26 
kens2 Doesn't sound like somewhere I would want to visit personally !14:25.07 
chrisl Yes, try not to become a statistic!14:25.17 
Robin_Watts Going back to Flint?14:25.44 
  Ah, mail has come in.14:26.03 
henrys her parents are oblivious: they sit in the living room and say "listen to the firecrackers" ...14:27.29 
mvrhel_laptop wow14:39.57 
kens Crumbs, Henry is off to a city in the top 5 dangerous places in the US< and Miles is off racing cars far too fast.....15:25.56 
  Almost as worrying as us Europeans all traelling on the same flight really15:26.33 
Robin_Watts kens: Us all being on the same flight doesn't worry me :)15:35.54 
kens I thnk it depends on whether anyone manages to get off :-)15:36.36 
Robin_Watts kens: If something happens to the flight I'm on, the welfare of the company is the least of my worries!15:37.11 
mvrhel_laptop Robin_Watts: I am so hurt15:44.18 
Robin_Watts so selfish.15:51.21 
mvrhel_laptop brb16:47.38 
rayjj marcosw: I did some testing on the latest NumRenderingThreads report. Basically 16 is *way* too many, I don't care what CPU they have, and increasing the BufferSpace (and bandheight) makes a LOT bigger difference17:22.21 
  kens: Robin_Watts: could be worse. Henry and Miles could be jogging in East St. Louis at night :-/17:24.10 
Robin_Watts rayjj: While taking selfies of one another on their shiny new iphone 6+'s and viewing them on their apple watch.17:28.51 
  rayjj: I just bought a new PC. It's pretty much the top of the line, and it has 6 cores, with hyperthreading.17:29.30 
rayjj and they were taking selfies to show people their expensive gold chains17:29.35 
Robin_Watts So I could possibly make a case for 12 threads. 16 is just dumb.17:29.49 
  But it still shouldn't crash.17:29.57 
rayjj Robin_Watts: I bet if you try gs with that file on your machine the optimum is probably around 4 or 517:30.37 
Robin_Watts rayjj: Machine should be delivered tomorrow. I can try next week if you want :)17:31.16 
rayjj Robin_Watts: I tried the customer's command line 20 times and couldn't get it to crash on my machine. Although the fan did run at high the entire time17:31.27 
  Robin_Watts: is it Xeon based or i7 ?17:31.51 
Robin_Watts rayjj: There is always the possibility that they are just running into hardware problems due to overheating.17:32.07 
  rayjj: i7.17:32.12 
rayjj Robin_Watts: I wouldn't be surprised17:32.31 
Robin_Watts We should send them a copy of prime95 and tell them to run that overnight and report back :)17:32.53 
rayjj oops. I just got it to crash (in a debug build). Unfortunately, it was in a loop so it started over before I could open the debugger17:34.47 
  OK. I captured it in a debugger. It died in mem_true24_fill_rectangle during pdf14_put_image. Digging in to see what might be amiss...17:38.12 
mvrhel_laptop off for lunch18:47.53 
 Forward 1 day (to 2015/10/09)>>>
