| ## Minutes | ||
|
|
||
| ### CTC membership nomination: @addaleax [#7607](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/7607) | ||
|
|
||
| Unanimous `aye`. | ||
|
|
||
| **Next steps**: @rvagg to merge. | ||
|
|
||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| ### Revert fs changes [#7846](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7846) | ||
|
|
||
| Reverts: | ||
| https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7846 | ||
| https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7950 | ||
|
|
||
| Warn instead of throw when callback is omitted, as in v5: | ||
| https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7897 | ||
|
|
||
| @bnoordhuis: This change makes omitting the callback an immediate error. | ||
|
|
||
| @trott: What do we need to do to get those PRs to land? | ||
|
|
||
| @addaleax: Myles split off one commit to [#7950](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7950). Not controversial, was requested by CTC last week. | ||
| This must be landed prior to #7846. | ||
|
|
||
| @jasnell: Would like to see a CI and CITGM run and some additional testing to make sure we have exactly the right set of reverts. @jasnell will start it. | ||
|
|
||
| @bnoordhuis: We need to print a deprecation warning [instead of throwing, when no callback]. | ||
|
|
||
| @addaleax: That’s the plan after the reverts have landed. @thefourtheye plans to work on it. [see #7897]) | ||
|
|
||
| @jasnell: process warning or deprecation warning? Will we use `util.printDeprecationWarning` or `process.emitWarning()`? | ||
| Deprecation warning is semver-major, process warning is semver-minor or even patch. | ||
|
|
||
| [It's `printDeprecationWarning`, see [here](https://github.com/thefourtheye/io.js/blob/8c65f7b6a253ab4e26ffe0de791dc41fcee92244/lib/fs.js#L48).] | ||
|
|
||
| @addaleax: PR to print warning already opened. Could be used instead of reverting, but we agreed to revert last week and it blocks the realpath revert. | ||
|
|
||
| @Fishrock123: Unbreaking a break and replacing with warning shouldn’t be semver-major. | ||
|
|
||
| @trott: @jasnell’s PR on semver policies says it should be semver-major. | ||
|
|
||
| @Fishrock123: Since we already changed it in the v6 transition let’s just change it to a deprecation. | ||
|
|
||
| @trott: Let’s do the reverts (#7846, #7950), discuss deprecation warning separately in GH (#7897). | ||
|
|
||
| OK with everybody. | ||
|
|
||
| **Next steps**: Do the reverts (#7846, #7950). Continue discussion on throw -> warning in #7897. | ||
|
|
||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| ### [meta] realpath issues in v6 [#7726](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/7726) | ||
|
|
||
| @trott: Last week we concluded that Anna, Trevor, or Alexis would move it forward. | ||
|
|
||
| @trott: Just the two reverts that are blocking. | ||
|
|
||
| @addaleax: Yes. | ||
|
|
||
| @saghul: Old JS impl did not resolve subst’ed drives. New libuv impl does. A test looks for the new behavior. ] | ||
|
|
||
| @saghul: Some people are relying on the old JS impl behavior to shorten paths on Windows. What are the right semantics? Should `subst`ed drives resolve to original path or to shortened path? | ||
|
|
||
| @piscisaureus: The whole reason we use realpath in `module` is to avoid a module being loaded multiple times via multiple symlinked paths. So the goal should be to always resolve to the true path. | ||
|
|
||
| @piscisaureus: Path limit is 64k not likely to encounter. | ||
|
|
||
| @saghul: There’s a test for the new code which expects realpath on a subst’ed drive to give the original path. We need to revert this test for reverted behavior. | ||
|
|
||
| @addaleax: Reverting to fs JS impl would return to old behavior. | ||
|
|
||
| @trott: Submit a PR to remove that test, or move to known issues tests. | ||
|
|
||
| @piscisaureus: Leave the test to track changes in the future. | ||
|
|
||
| @Fishrock123: Key is to revert to an impl the ecosystem is depending on. Discuss this in another PR in GitHub. | ||
|
|
||
| @jasnell: It’s a revert of the internal impl, not the changed public API [i.e. so we have to consider it now.] | ||
|
|
||
| What about reverting the removal of the `cache` option? | ||
|
|
||
| @addaleax: Not including the `cache` option now would allow additional/alternate improvements in the future. | ||
|
|
||
| @bnoordhuis: Are these changes to land in v7? | ||
|
|
||
| @jasnell: The idea is to get these into *v6* before it goes LTS. | ||
|
|
||
| * The realpath change would land in v6. | ||
| * The other changes (revert throwing error on callback) is only in master and would not land in v6. | ||
| * Are the realpath changes dependent on the others? | ||
| * Only Myles’ changes conflict with realpath [see previous item]. | ||
|
|
||
| @jasnell: Do we have the steps lined up? | ||
|
|
||
| @addaleax: Myles revert (#7846, #7950), then realpath revert. | ||
|
|
||
| @? apply semver-major changes that were reverted, with deprecation warning. | ||
|
|
||
| @chalker: Can we keep tests which were added? Revert removes some tests which aren’t actually related to changes. | ||
|
|
||
| @piscisareus: Same as @saghul’s comment, and we agreed to keep the new tests. So yes we should keep them. | ||
|
|
||
| **Next steps**: | ||
|
|
||
| * Modify PR to keep tests related to new behavior for reference. | ||
| * Apply Myles' reverts (#7846, #7950) | ||
| * Apply `realpath` revert. | ||
| * Discuss other items (e.g. throw -> deprecation, proper realpath for subst'ed drives, cache impl) in GH issues. | ||

||
| ### v4.5.0 proposal [#7688](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7688) | ||
|
|
||
| @trott: Please test the RCs. | ||
|
|
||
| @mhdawson and @jasnell: Building at IBM and not encountered anything. | ||
|
|
||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| ### build: drop support for VS 2013 in v7 [#7484](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/7484) | ||
|
|
||
| @bnoordhuis: Based on @joaocgreis’s comment we can move from 2013 without trouble. | ||
|
|
||
| @joshgav: @joaocgreis tested against many modules and with CITGM and encountered no problems. | ||
|
|
||
| @piscisaureus: Can we wait for semver-major? | ||
|
|
||
| @joshgav: Then we’ll be stuck with 2013 through out v6 LTS. | ||
|
|
||
| @piscisaureus: Should we make another issue for v6? | ||
|
|
||
| @jasnell: Let’s get this landed in master and test it out, then make a decision on putting in v6 before October. | ||
|
|
||
| @trott: Getting pretty close, don’t want to be switching just a month before. | ||
|
|
||
| **Next steps**: | ||
|
|
||
| * Merge to master and test. | ||
| * Determine in September if we can apply in v6. | ||
|

||
| ### http: don't inherit from Object.prototype [#6102](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6102) | ||
|
|
||
| @chrisdickinson has concerns, @mscdex contacted. No response yet. | ||
|
|
||
| @Fishrock123: Let’s remove `ctc-agenda` tag for next week. | ||
|
|
||
| @jasnell: Plenty of discussion, heard from Doug Wilson that it’s a positive change. Would rather not hold up waiting for a response. Would be best to land before v7. | ||
|
|
||
| @ofrobots: If we are going to change this we should have a plan for if/how we’ll get to maps. | ||
|
|
||
| @Fishrock123: There are too many people currently depending on this being a regular object. | ||
|
|
||
| @ofrobots: We shouldn’t break the ecosystem twice. We should target something with maps for v8 or longer timeframe. | ||
|
|
||
| @Fishrock123: Motivation is ? | ||
|
|
||
| Some feel we should wait for maps before making a breaking change. Jeremiah feels we should make an effective change now and not wait for an unknown future. | ||
|
|
||
| @Fishrock123: We’ll need to provide both old and new APIs side by side, and that could be hard to do with maps. | ||
|
|
||
| @ofrobots: We can delegate old API to a Proxy and add deprecation warnings on that handler. | ||
|
|
||
| @?: Is Proxy performant enough? | ||
|
|
||
| @ofrobots: For a deprecated path is it okay to take a performance hit? | ||
|
|
||
| @evan: Okay with current change proposal (i.e. to not inherit from Object) as long as it’s considered semver-major. | ||
|
|
||
| @jasnell will work on this. | ||
|
|
||
| **Next steps**: Decide whether to merge this or wait for maps-based impl. | ||
|
|

|
|
||
| ### nodejs/node-eps proposal: WHATWG URL standard implementation [#28](https://github.com/nodejs/node-eps/pull/28) | ||
|
|
||
| @trott: briefing now, longer discussion next week. | ||
|
|
||
| @jasnell: Everyone keep reviewing it. Goal is to land as “experimental” in master, doesn’t have to go in v6. | ||
|
|
||
| @trevnorris: -1 on global `URL` variable. | ||
|
|
||
| @Fishrock123 also against new globals other than lang features. | ||
|
|
||
| @jasnell: It’s a global in browsers. It can be removed, it’s in its own commit. | ||
|
|
||
| **Next steps**: @nodejs/ctc review @jasnell's proposal. Discuss next week. | ||
|
