<@U0XUTHRPZ> : are you still planning to work on <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/4130>, or should i get ity or peiyu on that one?

not immediately, but I plan to do it this quarter.

<@U0AR45336> : is this one fixed? <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/3752>

don’t believe that one ever landed, afaict

I thought Ity had a fix in hand for that tho

and this fix can also unblock <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/3933>

for <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/4174> even today it would fail if in target names contain `/`, probably missed sth

``` java_library(
+  name='hello/world',

Exception message: greet was not found in BUILD files from examples/src/java/org/pantsbuild/example/hello/greet. Perhaps you meant: 
  :hello/world
``` like that

would need a `:` in there to see this, presumably.

i did `./pants compile examples/src/java/org/pantsbuild/example/hello::`, apparently just ` examples/src/java/org/pantsbuild/example/hello/greet:hello/world` works

reminder! OSX tar is insanely slow by default.

<http://superuser.com/questions/259703/get-mac-tar-to-stop-putting-filenames-in-tar-archives>

nearly had that bite me again in some benchmarks.

<https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/4172#issuecomment-272016404>

is `Get mac tar to stop putting ._* filenames in tar archives` related to <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/4172#issuecomment-272016404>?

ah. i think it results in a bunch more syscalls per directory, and a larger output tar file

<@U0AALHEDR> : see the entries with `COPYFILE_DISABLE=1`

for <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/4173> there are a few failures, one of them is `BuildGraphIntegrationTest.test_cycle`, it's marked with a `TODO`, should i ignore?
```
# TODO: Disabled to expedite landing #3821: see #4007.
  # @ensure_engine
  def test_cycle(self):
```

well, both `3821` and `4007` are closed so i guess this needs to be fixed? <@U06A03HV1> ^
