00:48:58 Andy Gotz: I propose participants ask questions in the chat during the presentations. They can be answered online or during the Q&A session at the end. 00:55:35 Aditya Dange: How to collaborate with other developers who are already working on a branch/feature? 01:02:53 Andy Gotz: Is there a way to avoid make rebuilding everything after a call to cmake? 01:03:22 Dmitry Bolkhovityanov: A genetal questions: are there still plans to get rid of CORBA completely, as was planned since at least 2015? 01:05:56 Nick Rees: I have not been able to see the CI artefacts from the PR’s. Is this because I need a permission, or is it just because I am doing something wrong? 01:10:11 Stéphane Poirier: I've got an error using cmake 3.10 with the cmake api add_compiler_definitions which was not found! It works well using cmake >= 3.12 01:14:23 Andy Gotz: Hi Dmitry. I confirm that the goal is to make the protocol on the wire pluggable i.e. to support other protocols in addition to CORBA. For now the functionality of the current library has been specified in a set of RFCs so that the future version will be functionally compatible with the existing versions (see https://github.com/tango-controls/rfc). The next step is to make a CORBA-free prototype. However as you pointed out this project is advancing very slowly due to lack of resources. Ideally we would need 3 to 5 people dedicated to this task to advance at a reasonable pace. Would you be interested in helping? In the meantime 9-LTS is being well maintained and is the best choice. 01:20:04 Marco Bartolini: confirm 01:37:53 Reynald Bourtembourg: For Stephane, the cmake 3.10 pb is a known issue (only in release mode I think): https://github.com/tango-controls/cppTango/issues/791 01:39:01 Dmitry Bolkhovityanov: Andy, are there any plans yo add automatic data--type conversion? For example, is some attrubite is 'int', it still could be requested to be read into a 'double' variable without raising an exception. This could increase flexibility. 01:42:08 Nick Rees: Are the UML diagrams in the documentation somewhere? They look very useful, but I haven’t seen them before. 01:43:47 Thomas Braun: > Is there a way to avoid make rebuilding everything after a call to cmake? Make needs rebuilding currently when cmake is run. And cmake needs to be run because of some existing issues. These should be fixed once https://github.com/tango-controls/cppTango/pull/766 is merged. 01:44:41 Thomas Braun: > I have not been able to see the CI artefacts from the PR’s. Is this because I need a permission, or is it just because I am doing something wrong? Only github actions and appveyor jobs have artefacts. Travis does not. 01:44:55 Reynald Bourtembourg: > Are the UML diagrams in the documentation somewhere? They look very useful, but I haven’t seen them before. These diagrams have been created by Michal for this webinar. We'll see if we can add them to the documentation. 01:47:32 Thomas Braun: > How to collaborate with other developers who are already working on a branch/feature? We have a slack channel, tango-controls.slack.com and a forum and mailing list at https://www.tango-controls.org/community/. 01:53:32 Thomas Braun: The branch which adds a new test suite and test, see https://github.com/tango-controls/cppTango/tree/feature/add-new-test-suite-example-webinar-20201103. 01:53:36 Andy Gotz: > Are there any plans yo add automatic data--type conversion? For example, is some attrubite is 'int', it still could be requested to be read into a 'double' variable without raising an exception. This could increase flexibility. 01:54:07 Andy Gotz: Could be added but is not planned yet. Maybe pytango does this already? 01:54:34 Reynald Bourtembourg: my e-mail if you want to join the Tango Kernel Meeting: reynald.bourtembourg@esrf.fr 01:54:46 Aditya Dange: Thanks. 02:01:15 Marco Bartolini: Is one of the RFC a good place for those diagrams? 02:01:29 Andy Gotz: yes 02:03:32 Sergio Rubio Manrique: for topics: event pushing/management 02:03:37 Anton Joubert: Suggestion for topic next time: the singleton classes 02:03:39 Sergio Rubio Manrique: also tango monitor 02:04:09 Matteo Di Carlo: debugging how ot 02:04:14 Jairo Moldes Fuentes: event system 02:04:57 LANGLOIS: thank you !
