We have restored all of the affected VMs.
We also hit a snag on one of our Xen nodes that required us to reboot
it, and the following VMs were also affected:
inkscape
mandrivausers2
musicbrainzvm
tillikum
We are very sorry for the outage and any frustrations it has caused you.

Fill calligraphy outlined shapes automatically
by G33K
Hi everyone,
I'd like to use the calligraphy tool to draw outlines for a shape, and
want to fill the initially transparent interior of that outline with a
different color. The only solution I've found so far is to apply the
"break apart" command, then select the inner shape and change its color
manually. That's a lot of steps, which stops the flow of drawing.
I've already found this extension which tries to solve the problem:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CalligraphedOutlineFill
To lessen the number of manual steps, I'd like to automatically apply
some similar logic after each calligraphy stroke, so that a calligraphy
outline's inner shape can be filled immediately if it's drawn in one
stroke. I think the following steps might suffice:
* After a calligraphy brush stroke, apply "break apart" to the resulting
object.
* If the result is only one shape, then the calligraphy path isn't
closed.
* If there are several shapes, the one with the largest bounding box is
the outline, all others are enclosed inner shapes and are filled in a
different color.
You could even maintain a history of successive calligraphy strokes, or
search the object stack, until the "break apart" command produces more
than one shape.
My questions:
* Is it somehow possible to automatically execute an extension like that
after each calligraphy stroke?
* Or is there a way to code this into Inkscape itself?
* If yes, what would be the API calls for "break apart", and where would
I have to insert that code to get it executed after a completed
clligraphy stroke?
* Is there maybe a similar extension or drawing tool feature that I
could use as a model?
(I posted this to the user list when I realized that it is probably more
of a development question. Sorry for the double post.)
Best regards,
Gerrit

Hyphenation in Inkscape
by Santhosh Thottingal
Hello,
This is regarding a wishlist bug reported here;
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/171140
I am writing an extension for hyphenating the text when it is
justified. I have the first version ready to use for both English and
Malayalam(ml_IN) and tested in Inkscape 0.46 in Debian Sid. It is
available for testing here:
http://thottingal.in/projects/inkscape/inkscape-hyphenation.zip
It is on top of the python hyphenation code written by Wilbert
Berendsen. The hyphenation rules, also called as patterns is TeX or
Openoffice itself.
There are a few more changes need to be done:
a) Making the extension language independent: Loading all the
patterns from a directory while initializing? Or is it okey to ask
user to select the language? As of now I am doing a unicode range
checking to differentiate between Malayalam and English. but it will
be buggy for other languages.
b) On GNU/Linux platforms can we point to the default hyphenation
patterns directory of openoffice?
Feedbacks are welcome.
Thanks
Santhosh Thottingal

Didier and all,
I believe GNU Ghostscript can finally include the CMap files now.
I looked at the license and I believe it is fine; standard stuff.
I haven't looked at the actual content to see if there are any
differences from what Aladdin Ghostscript, et al., have been
distributing.
Best,
karl

I would like to let you know that we just launched the "CMap
Resources" open source project at Adobe, which puts all of our CMap
resources under a more favorable open source license. Note that I
excluded the Adobe-Japan2-0 CMap resources, because they have been in
deprecated status ever since Adobe-Japan1-6 was released to completely
cover JIS X 0212-1990.
Anyway, you can get the details here:
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/cmap/
When you have a chance, please notify the appropriate people in the
open source community about this. I know that some of them have been
asking us to provide our CMap resources under a more favorable
license, and for them, that day has come.
With best regards...

Since release is nearing, let's talk 0.48 and beyond...
by Joshua A. Andler
Hey All,
Kinda lengthy, but, please read and respond if you intend to be involved
in the upcoming releases.
In numerous off-list discussions with a handful of devs and contributors
it seems like there is a favored route for the upcoming releases.
Essentially, make 0.47 "good enough" (avoid point releases if possible).
Have a short dev cycle for 0.48 which needs to be pretty solid (even if
made so over time by point releases... I will commit to continuing a
couple of those). Then we go for another long-ish refactoring cycle for
0.49.
For 0.48 the thought is to... move to a DVCS before any code changes are
made in trunk. This needs to be discussed and resolved ASAP, svn is not
good enough for our needs any longer, period. Then, we drop in this
year's SoC work, the spray tool, any big things that are far enough
along in people's working copies, polish up everything and fix all new
issues discovered from 0.47... if we're lucky, further text tool work
could make it in too. Additionally, if we could get cairo work in a
branch (under said DVCS) during this cycle, it would be excellent to
possibly get something to drop in for the 0.49 dev cycle... this is part
of why the stability and functionality of this release is critical
(trunk may need to have issues for a bit after 0.48 drops).
For 0.49 the thought is to attempt to ditch our copy of gdl in favor of
submitting the necessary bits upstream and using it as a proper library.
It has been said before, it would be really excellent if we could have
2geom be broken out and used as a proper library. I understand the
general "it's an experiment" and "we can't promise a stable api" issues,
but, the cord needs to be cut at sometime and I think this is fair
notice. Also, this is how gimp is being developed with babl and gegl...
so it is doable and a non-issue (I use unstable gimp too, so I know from
experience of having to update them both when I want to update gimp).
Any objections or concerns that people feel the need to voice? Anything
that other people would like to see during these releases?
Cheers,
Josh

Info for promoting Inkscape
by Jon A. Cruz
Hi,
In preparing for SVG Open, I'm trying to come up with a new single-
page flyer that can be printed out and given away at conferences and
such to help people get an idea what Inkscape is and what it can do to
help them. One key part of this is to point out some general usages to
which Inkscape can be put. If we can present in one spot how different
uses are all served, we might be able to gain interest of people who
otherwise would have overlooked the product.
For example, some software engineer looking to do some quick UML
sketches might only see some Inkscape artwork and think "Oh, I don't
need to draw pictures, better go find something else." We then miss
out on another potential user. And when we loose a potential user we
also lose another potential *contributor*.
To help hash this out I have started a wiki page for jotting things
down:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Marketing_Scratchpad
Please take a look and see if you might be able to add a bit. Edit
some info, add a missing usage/segment, etc. The more information we
can gather, the better we can refine and then use it.
Oh, and for the flyer itself, we are initially targeting a simple
design that can fit on a single page. It may be printed one-sided or
perhaps double-sided. So the design will include a primary page and a
supplemental page. The primary page will be done so that it is a stand-
alone product. The supplemental page will be the optional second side
for when the flyer is printed double-sided. We also want to design it
so that it is effective when printed out in black and white and also
when it is printed out in color.

DVCS Vote Tally
by Joshua A. Andler
Hey All,
A few days have passed, the discussion has died down, and here is where
we stand.
bzr: 6
git: 3
Two of the three git votes had also mentioned that it didn't really
matter much to them in the end, they would just prefer what they were
familiar with. Additionally, most of the bzr voting folks have used git
quite a bit as well, and it doesn't seem to be the same coming from the
other side. With that, I think that Bazaar is the safe choice. Any flat
out objections?
Can we start to look at where we might want to host now? At this point
it seems like Launchpad is the obvious choice so we could benefit from
the integration with our bug tracker there. Any other suggestions or
concerns?
Cheers,
Josh
