17:37 Krock So it is Thursday. Making myself useful by creating a forum post draft :^)
17:51 Panquesito7 joined #luanti-dev
18:21 crazylad joined #luanti-dev
18:24 sfan5 I'll have time in 30m
18:42 siliconsniffer joined #luanti-dev
18:56 chripo joined #luanti-dev
19:06 sfan5 which would be now
19:06 sfan5 I guess I'll do the weblate import
19:07 Krock no settings update or translation update needed aside from the import
19:07 Krock checked the recent changes and found no changes of the strings
19:09 Krock forum post is ready to go. I'll give the buildbot output a try on Windows after the import.
19:12 sfan5 https://github.com/luanti-org/luanti/commits/ci/
19:12 sfan5 I think i'll squash the last few ones by you
19:13 Krock yes
19:13 Krock also multiple Uzbek commits
19:18 sfan5 translations commits look good to me
19:20 Krock The binaries won't include the version bump but I guess that's not a concern
19:20 Krock tested that enough already
19:21 sfan5 unfortunately no news about CDB
19:22 sfan5 IMO before we update the website with the new release CDB must be working again (ready-only is fine of course)
19:23 MTDiscord <greenxenith> I dont think that is a reasonable wait
19:23 sfan5 read-only*
19:23 sfan5 why not?
19:24 MTDiscord <greenxenith> Could be a week or more
19:24 Krock the maintenance might span a few more days, depending on time available (depends mostly on ruben I guess)
19:25 Krock all Luanti clients are affected equally. I do not see much benefit in waiting. We could however put a note on the forums that it's yet not available
19:26 Krock and the website, of course.
19:26 MTDiscord <greenxenith> I know using a read-only mirror was talked about, but I dont know if it was committed to or when that will be. @rubenwardy
19:27 MTDiscord <greenxenith> It would be handy if the client could detect outage errors returned from CDB, so it could display the current error state
19:27 Krock API calls could be redirected but I am not sure how well that would A) work and B) is perceived
19:28 Krock testing the ci branch regardless
19:28 MTDiscord <greenxenith> I meant they were considering using a mirror in-place temporarily
19:32 sfan5 setting up a read-only CDB at the official address was talked about in the staff IRC. and yes it would support the API calls
19:33 sfan5 the reason I'm pushing for this is that publishing a new release which hundreds of people then download and can literally not install any game is quite a bad impression
19:34 sfan5 (IMO, of course)
19:34 sfan5 setting up an official read-only mirror shouldn't take days or weeks. I even offered to help.
19:35 MTDiscord <greenxenith> I would tend to agree with all of the above; Also @.zenonseth
19:36 MTDiscord <luatic> the staff irc isn't bridged to the staff matrix is it
19:36 MTDiscord <greenxenith> Nope
19:36 MTDiscord <greenxenith> I will fix that in the coming month
19:36 MTDiscord <luatic> thanks
19:36 MTDiscord <luatic> will be nice to have most of the staff convo in one place
19:37 MTDiscord <luatic> wouldn't it work to point content.luanti.org at zenonseth's mirror as an interim solution?
19:38 sfan5 yes that or proxying
19:39 rubenwardy I basically have the software for it set up already. The issue is me being confident with the mirror's data given it comes from the 25th
19:39 rubenwardy I have confirmed that no modifications took place on the bunny storage bucket, so there's just 37 new releases to check which I believe Zenon did already
19:40 MTDiscord <greenxenith> Could always omit those releases if its faster to just get it up and check them later
19:40 rubenwardy the mirror only stores the latest release so iit would be removing those packages
19:40 MTDiscord <greenxenith> Ah, understood
19:41 rubenwardy one is minetest_game
19:41 MTDiscord <greenxenith> lol
19:41 rubenwardy also all of mobs
19:41 rubenwardy there were also 138 updates to meta
19:42 MTDiscord <greenxenith> Throw the list at an AI or something, it should be able to verify quickly, no?
19:45 sfan5 Krock: do the builds work?
19:45 sfan5 I'd go ahead with the release commit if yes
19:46 Krock sfan5: yes. tested the .exe  and 32bit, mingw each
19:48 ZenonSeth re the mirror: i was afk, but i think dropping it in as a temporary replacement should be easy, longest thing would just be filling in all the zips/screenshots, i gave ruben a sql db dump of metadat + sha256/path of all files
19:49 sfan5 tag + commit pushed
19:50 Krock sfan5: android deps too?
19:50 sfan5 luacheck failed with "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"?!
19:51 Krock great
19:51 sfan5 Krock: no, I'll do stable-5 and tag the android deps now
19:54 sfan5 both done
19:54 Krock hmm. The .exe does extract the files.. but to where? Unlike 5.16.0, it does not end up in AppData\local\Luanti\ ????
19:55 sfan5 non-release builds extract to %temp%
19:55 sfan5 and will not update the shortcut
19:57 Krock oh that makes sense
20:00 Krock PS: testLuaDestructors does fail, but it's effectively the same thing I asked about a week ago. RAII inside of a Lua C function does not work on Windows.
20:02 sfan5 at least not with mingw? I think it's passing for msvc because we have that in CI
20:03 Krock was about to write that MinGW is not unittested. VS 2026 passes
20:05 Krock the builds are done, version is correct according to Wine. Will publish the forum post and release on GitHub if that's fine by you
20:07 sfan5 sounds good
20:07 Topic for #luanti-dev is now Luanti (fka Minetest) core development and maintenance. Chit-chat goes to #luanti | https://dev.luanti.org/ https://irc.luanti.org/ https://github.com/luanti-org
20:09 Krock ~tell SFENCE Would you please be so nice to provide the macOS builds for 5.18.0? Thank you.
20:09 ShadowBot Krock: OK.
20:23 Krock good. now we only need to get the website, blog and contentdb updated
20:48 rubenwardy the read-only mirror should be live
20:50 sfan5 seems to work. thanks.
20:52 ZenonSeth reviews aren't there but thats because they weren't mirrored. people can live without them for a bit i think
