Eric Blake, Red Hat, The Open Group OR Apologies: Andrew Josey, The Open Group * General news This was a call dedicated to general bugs. * Current Business Bug 1122: POSIX should include gettext() and friends OPEN and https://posix.rhansen.org/p/gettext_draft Also https://austingroupbugs.net/file_download.php?file_id=64&type=bug Geoff's addition to XRAT appendix E was noted. A new PDF will be needed, but we will wait for more comments first. To be discussed again when more comments are raised. Bug 1560: clarify wording of command substitution https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1560 Leave this and related bugs 1561 and 1564 open awaiting reviews/discussion. Bug 1273: glob()'s GLOB_ERR/errfunc and non-directory files OPEN https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1273 We will leave this open awaiting feedback. Bug 792: better definition of thread lifetime Accepted as Marked https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=792 This item is tagged for Issue 8. Geoff completed his action to supply updated wording. See bugnote 5923. Bug 770: Add support for .ONESHELL in make Rejected https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=770 Several issues have been raised in the comments to this bug. They were discussed during the 2022-08-04 conference call. We agree that the ability to treat a group of lines as a single group without the need of backslash terminating initial lines would make it easier to read and write makefiles. It is not clear that there is any consensus to add this feature in a consistent manner across common implementations, and there is significant difference in the manner in which existing makes implement something like this. If the submitter would like to update this proposal to provide a syntax and complete description that will be (or has been) implemented by GNU, *BSDs, and Illumos, we would be happy to see that proposal in a new bug report. Otherwise, we do not believe that this proposal is ready for standardization and we are rejecting this bug for now. Bug 768: add "fd-private" POSIX locks to spec OPEN https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=768 A separate etherpad page was created to work on wording for this bug at https://posix.rhansen.org/p/bug768 Action on Eric B. to adapt the GNU documentation for OFD locks into an initial set of changes for us to work on. We will pick up on this item once Eric has completed his action.
