Rust libz blitz!

It’s been suggested to me that base64, data_encoding, tar, and backtrace are all appropriate here. Sounds right to me. Any other opinions?

hex is along similar lines, and apparently it’s the best place to get hex conversion.

This graph shows the great effect the libz blitz has been having for the log crate. We still need lots more help! Please check the tracking issue for opportunities to contribute.

I updated links in the op. There are already cookbook tracking issues for mio and walkdir.

I updated the crate list per the last few suggestions, and attempted to generalize the categorizations there a bit.

The walkdir review is scheduled for 6/13, and the intent is to start evaluations one month ahead of time, so it’s behind schedule. It still doesn’t have a lead assigned. Is anybody interested in leading the walkdir evaluation, starting this week? It doesn’t require a great deal of experience, since the entire process is outlined in the checklist, and there are previous examples to crib off of.

If not, I will begin the walkdir evaluation on Friday.

The error-chain review is scheduled for 6/27, which means @aturon needs to get that evaluation rolling soon as well.

Ok I’m happy to pick up the walkdir lead. I think it’s a fairly safe crate to get my feet wet, there’s plenty of prior work to look at and @burntsushi is already on board. Should be a walk in the park :wink:

But if you’re looking at the Libs Team peeps to take on these roles that’s no problem :+1:

I added num_cpus to the crate list.

It came to my attention that Packt has a forthcoming book called “Rust Cookbook”. I filed an issue about it.

Done :+1: Doesn’t look like I’ve got permission to make the post a wiki though, could one of the admins please convert it?

Done. The way I did it was to click the "..." at the bottom of the post, then the wrench icon, then "make wiki".

Can I suggest glob/globset? I believe globset is the way forward but it would make sense to transition the glob crate to be globset

Thanks for the suggestion @Keats! Seems like the right kind of crate, though I’m not familiar myself.

So far our crate tracking issues have not had a “Release 1.0” issue actually filed, but I kind of think they should. I might go back and do that and link up the tracking issues. Any opinions?

There’s some question about whether it makes sense to include mio in the cookbook as it is a low level systems-integration piece.

Rust Libz Blitz status update 2017-06-02

Here’s what is going on in libz blitz news this week. Spoiler alert: it was another great week! Thanks everybody.

Upcoming we’ll expect @aturon to open the error-chain evaluation soon. It also looks like we need to get someone on the hook to lead the mio evaluation to get that evaluation started by 6/11.

I’m also interested in getting some of the “out-of-band” evaluations going, crates like idna, net2, unicode-segmentation, env_logger. We can run these exactly as we do the others, but we just won’t schedule a libs team meeting to finalize them. Anybody interested in leading them just speak up. I may pick up one myself next week.

Looks like the only remaining blocker is to rename internal types to match public types.

No activity this week but there are still issues open.

memmap

Looks like remaining work is blocked on questions about the API.
