You have bzr a merge error. Try reverting that particular file. (otherwise try google on how to fix merge conflicts in bzr) Cheers, Johan On 18-12-2012 17:47, Arshdeep Singh wrote: > _The error message is as follows:_ > >

Latest Version Not Compiling
by Arshdeep Singh 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hello all, First of all, a very congrats to everyone for the new release. :). :D My inkscape trunk (revno 11962) does not compile with the latest devlibs. I faced a similar problem 2 months ago, there was some problem with devlibs' recent upgradation that was causing the trouble. I am working on Windows 7. Can someone please conform this behavior and perhaps fix it ? -- Arshdeep Singh Third Year, Computer Engineering Delhi Technological University Ph: +91-9654115614

Help needed and website redesign update
by Ian Caldwell 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

All, Sorry for the lag in updates regarding the site. It has been a bit depressing and I also have been extremely busy. In all honesty we had a great design and some extremely motivated people who started the project of redoing the website. As with all open source projects time and experience got the best of us (myself included). The website design was completed long ago and it looks great. It can be seen here http://en.dev.inkscape.org/ . We started the migration portion and that's about as far as we got. We had one backend mostly complete when we realized that that dev was unable to complete the project without a rewrite and sadly lacked the time due to school commitments etc. Next we had a second developer start rewriting the code and unfortunately due to time constraints is unable to finish. That being said I am open to suggestions but we need a strict time line to at least complete the basic portion of the inkscape site. That being said, We need help. Here was the original projected todo: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LLpPSPIrbgsXTJSK56hHBwu6iaTpp7EWguxMgkP… Here is the more in depth description of each component: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K2O-gRdbkP0XATykk6LcPo6O5-JdQzK4QmPpuLo… That being said It would be nice to have the bare minimum in place for the site to allow submission of news, user profiles, admin privileges etc. At this point I am fairly open to consideration on what languages we might use. The project was started both times in django, however was never completed. I also may even be open for consideration of Content management systems that would allow us to build in these features fairly easily and allow the site to contain the same functionality and UI. If you have any talent in the web development world. Please get back to me and lets get the ball rolling! I know the holiday's can sometimes allow time to tinker but they also can be difficult times as well. Please feel free to make suggestions on how you're able to help us complete the website redesign. Really the part we need help with is the backend to the website. Thanks, Ian Caldwell ("Inc") -- Sent with Sparrow (http://www.sparrowmailapp.com/?sig)

Problems building current release on Windows XP with Devlibs41

SVG closing path syntax
by Tavmjong Bah 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

Hi, At today's SVG working group meeting we talked a bit about path syntax in regards to how paths are closed. It has been proposed that if the last point in in the last path command is missing that the first point in the path be used: M x,y ... C x1,y1 x2,c2 z would be the same as M x,y ... C x1,y1 x2,2, x,y z The advantage of the proposed syntax change is that if relative path commands are used, one can ensure that the path is closed properly without introducing the little closing line segment that can result from rounding error (if the last point doesn't fall exactly on top of the first). What do people think about this? Tav

0.48.4
by Josh Andler 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

Hey All, Johan has fixed the outstanding bug that has been holding 0.48.4 up. I'm announcing that people have 1 week left to backport any fixes for that release and all changes should be completed by December 12th. Thanks to everyone for all of your work to make Inkscape and our community better. Looks like we may be able to pull off a holiday gift to our users after all. Cheers, Josh

Seeking input on moving forward
by Josh Andler 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

Hey all, As of right now there hasn't really been much headway on the renderer related bugs we have which will block 0.49 as well as no action on the security bug stopping all releases. 0.49 should be in feature freeze at this point so we can work towards releasing it (you know, being friendly to translators and all), but other than our blocker bugs, people are still happily working on other features and items that they're wanting merged in (connector cleanup, "spiro live", etc). Does anyone have any proposals on how we should move forward given the issues holding us back? Is it time that we move to using more branches as a project? One possible route would be to branch off 0.49 and allow open work to resume on trunk. Another is to create a "staging" branch that accepted merge proposals can all land in to get further testing. Note: After this experience, if things have known regressions, I feel strongly that they should not be merged into an actual "to be released" branch until those issue are resolved. I'm open to suggestions. Development shouldn't stagnate, but at this point things aren't looking good with a feature freeze in place and no signs of our blockers getting taken care of. Cheers, Josh

assets revision
by Alexandre Prokoudine 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Hi, Folks from GNOME design team just asked me about ways to "hide" unused assets like templates and color swatches, so out of interest I've had a look, and it seems to me that indeed we could let go of some stuff. E.g. for templates that would be: - all desktop_* except probably 1600x1200 (640x480 is useful in 2012? for real?) - no_borders and no_layers (sounds like someone should just need to master custom templates) - default_mm and default_pt (same as above) - fontforge_glyph (obsoleted by typography_canvas) What do you think?
