Runtime checks for SSL
by Aaron Spike 06 Dec '06

06 Dec '06

One of the problems I've been running up against with the autopackage is ensuring that the users have SSL installed. SSL is required for securing jabber login and whiteboard traffic. The autopackages I am currently generating have SSL linked to inkscape statically. This is a huge security nightmare IMHO and I do not plan to do this for the release packages because I do not plan on undertaking the responsibility of ensuring that we update the packages for any and every SSL vulnerability. I would like to user relaytool to make a runtime check for the presence of libssl and conditionally disable features. I would appreciate assistance with this. http://autopackage.org/apbuild-relaytool.php Aaron Spike

Boolean operations on lines, bug or feature?
by Jasper van de Gronde 04 Dec '06

When I use the difference or intersection operation on an open path (and a rectangle) the path suddenly gets new edges and is closed, see attachment (which also shows my intention). Is this intentional or should I file a bug?

Hi, Today I made a svn checkout of inkscape and tried to compile it.

Buildtool : 'console' option
by Johan Engelen 01 Dec '06

Thanks alot for making the buildtool! It's pretty nice. However, now I manually changed build.xml:255 into "-lgc -mconsole -lws2_32 -lintl -lm -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32" to create a console version so I can see errors and other messages. Could build.xml be changed such that adding 'console' as commandline option would build a console version of Inkscape? ("buildtool dist console" for example). Or do I have to make a copy-paste of targets link and dist and rename them linkconsole and distconsole such that "buildtool distconsole" would do what I want? Thanks, Johan
