Rustc Dev Guide WG 2019-08-06 sync meeting

  • @Tshepang Lekhonkhobe joined the Rustc Dev Guide WG!

  • @mark-i-m reported that toolslate/linkcheck is now working properly with following overview on how:

    • The linkchecker in the rust CI is run from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/src/tools/rustbook.
    • It just runs mdbook_linkcheck as a library.
    • That is called by only one linux builder from the script in src/ci/docker/.
    • The hack on the rustc-dev-guide CI checks the output of mdbook_linkcheck from stdout/stderr and looks for timeout errors.
    • If timeout errors are equal to the number of errors mdbook_linkcheck reported, then build is passed.

  • @Santiago Pastorino mentions two major tasks for the WG (in an explanation):

    • one is watching the lectures and summarizing them as guides chapter.
    • and the other one is triaging and paying attention to the issue tracker.

  • @Santiago Pastorino shared URL for traigebot documentation https://github.com/rust-lang/triagebot/wiki/Assignment.
