Connect figures like ms visio or dia.
by avk 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

Hello! I've just downloaded Inkscape and found It very nice. There is all I need which is not lacked in Ms visio. But only one thing dissapointed. Paths connection between figures are static, so while moving figure, connecting path is'nt been updated. I would like to make extension which aggressively snaps path to object. But I can't find propper manual. I suppose to make by analogy with existing exts. So where I can find info about path snapping classes and methods? Or maybe it better to do by parsing xml and dynamically update paths? Also how to acces inner xml? Is it possible to use cpp .dll code in inkscape?

[Hosting] ns2.osuosl.org Emergency Maintenance

----- Forwarded message from Jordan Evans <jordane@...2167...> ----- Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2015 13:26:22 -0800 From: Jordan Evans <jordane@...2167...> To: hosting@...2167... Subject: [Hosting] ns2.osuosl.org Emergency Maintenance ns2.osuosl.org (140.211.166.131) has suffered some hardware failure, and it will be replaced shortly. This is the same machine as ns2.auth.osuosl.org(140.211.166.141) We're currently busy with a few other things, but will be migrating ns2 at 5:00 PST, or 0100 UTC. The new machine will be up with the same ip addresses as the old ns1 and ns3 are both still up and operating as normal, but if you have any machines that hit ns2 first, you'll see some slowdown on dns until ns2 comes back online. Another email will be sent to this list when the new ns2.osuosl.org is up and running. _______________________________________________ Hosting mailing list Hosting@...2167... http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/hosting ----- End forwarded message -----

Downstream builds broken: Need distribution of ./autogen.sh
by Alex Valavanis 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Hi All, Please could someone take a look at the issue reported in bug #1407009 [1] and bug #1418943 [2]? In short... A lot of downstream projects like to regenerate the configuration files by running "autoreconf". Builds fail in 0.91.0 because of changes in the internationalization config. To reproduce: autoreconf -fi ./configure # Config dies with a message about po/Makefile.in.in not being created by intltoolize. To fix this, we need to distribute autogen.sh, and preferably update the macros used in configure.ac. Is there any reason not to do this, and backport to 0.91.1? If there's no feedback, I'll press ahead in the next day or so, since it's holding up the distribution of Inkscape 0.91 to some major downstream projects. Best wishes, Alex [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1407009 [2] https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1418943

Matrix parsing tests
by Johan Engelen 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Hi all, Currently, these tests fail: ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Test failed: matrix(1,2,3,4,5,6,) ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Assertion failed: !sp_svg_transform_read(read_fail_tests[i], &cm) ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Test failed: matrix(1,2,3,4,5e6-3) ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Assertion failed: !sp_svg_transform_read(read_fail_tests[i], &cm) ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Test failed: matrix(1,2,3,4,5e6.3) ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Assertion failed: !sp_svg_transform_read(read_fail_tests[i], &cm) ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Test failed: translate(1,) ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Assertion failed: !sp_svg_transform_read(read_fail_tests[i], &cm) ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Test failed: translate(1,6,) ./svg/svg-affine-test.h:179: Error: Assertion failed: !sp_svg_transform_read(read_fail_tests[i], &cm) The current code is too permissive, and (perhaps unintentionally) tries to do its best in making sense of the matrix string. What do you guys think? Should we allow "matrix(1,2,3,4,5,6,)" to become "matrix(1,2,3,4,5,6)" ? (similar for the other failures) thanks, Johan

Font warnings on windows xp, trunk r13915
by mathog 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

Just upgraded from devlibs 50 to 53 to build Inkscape from Trunk on Windows XP. When it starts up it now emits these 3 lines: Warning: Font face with same CSS values already added: Arial Condensed (Narrow, Narrow) Warning: Font face with same CSS values already added: Arial Condensed (Narrow, Narrow) Warning: Font face with same CSS values already added: Arial Condensed (Narrow, Narrow) Arial Narrow is present on this system in 4 variants ("vanilla", bold, bold italic, italic). Is this a known glitch? Thanks, David Mathog mathog@...1176... Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech

Thinking of attending SCALE 13x? Inkscape booth could use your help.
by Jon A. Cruz 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Hi people, I'm just sending out a quick note to explicitly invite any Inkscape users, devs or other interested parties to come to SCALE 13x and spend a little time helping to represent the project in the exhibit hall. The conference has provided us booth space again, along with a set of passes for those helping. Even being able to spend an hour or two over the weekend could be helpful. And in case you or anyone you know might be wondering about attending SCALE, I have a discount code that can be used. Since I'm speaking, the conference has given us the promotional code 'SPEAK' to advertise. Use it to get a 50% discount. http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/13x -- Jon A. Cruz jon@...18...

Asset creation for SCALE 13x conference
by Jon A. Cruz 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Hi, Inkscape will once again have a booth at the SCALE 13x conference this year ( http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/13x ). To help with our presence, and to highlight the new release, we are producing some assets for the booth. We will be getting a large two-sided banner that will also be usable for future conferences Inkscape might have a presence at. And for giving away at the booth we will be getting some mini-business cards and stickers. The latter two will be done through moo.com. If anyone would like to lend a hand with suggesting or creating graphics for these pleas let me know. We might have a line on designs for the banners and mini cards, but much will depend on the availability of different individuals. The stickers will be a run of 180 total, but we can have many designs up to each sticker being different. As far as timing goes, it would be good for me to get the cards and stickers ordered ASAP to ensure delivery for the opening of the conference. So feel free to contact me for details and format requirements if you might be interested. -- Jon A. Cruz jon@...18...
