Subteam report: libs 2015-07-09

Highlights

We've begun weekly video meetings with the entire subteam, which should increase our bandwidth and enable more progress on new library initiatives. Over the next week, we plan to discuss the pipeline for crates eventually heading into std, and (relatedly) the fate of rust-lang crates. This week, though, we focused mainly on existing business.

RFCs going into their final comment period:

• FCP PR #1158: RFC: Expand the std::net module
• FCP PR #1174: RFC for creation of IntoRaw{Fd, Socket, Handle} trait to complement AsRaw*

PRs in final comment period:

• FCP PR #26743: Add a method lines_any to BufRead

Decisions from last week:

• FCP PR #1055: RFC for redirecting stdio of child processes to open file handles
  • Closed
• FCP PR #1058: RFC for replacing slice::tail()/init() with new methods
  • Merged
• FCP PR #1102: Rename connect to join
  • Merged
• FCP PR #1158: RFC: Expand the std::net module
  • Postponed, pending some policy decisions about how to handle major new API additions in std. We should have more details on this next week.
