Meeting Discussion
- Discussed labels for 202X and process
- Discussed work flow to address LRM Bugs and LCSs from the previous revision
- Adjustments to Issue and Merge Request templates: VHDL-Issues!4 (merged)
- Issues were created for all the items in http://www.eda-twiki.org/cgi-bin/view.cgi/P1076/VHDLProposals. Those issues were labeled "TWIKI" and "New".
- Will mention the people that created them.
- Will send an e-mail to the reflector asking people to take responsibility of the items they want to be considered in the next revision.
- Direct Programming Interface
- Unai added a draft chapter/clause to the LaTeX document, by converting Peter Flake's DpiProposal and reworking the content: https://gitlab.com/IEEE-P1076/lrm-latex/-/tree/umarcor/dpi. This is a proof of concept for showcasing how to use LaTeX and branches for temporary work/discussion.
- LaTeX
- Discussed about the need of an implementation that generates (coloured) diffs from MRs or branch comparisons.
- After VHDL 2019 is converted to LaTeX, all bugfixes should be gathered in a single branch. The merge of that branch shall be tagged as "errata", for most technical user to have a fixed version of the 2019 LRM, before enhancements/modifications are added.
- Moving forward with the LaTeX conversion is a priority, since some MRs/LCSs will soon be blocked by it.
