Fillet-Chamfer
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 15 May '16

15 May '16

Hi to all. I spend all week free time fixing Fillet-Chamfer tool But I get into strange craches all time, 3 or 4 diferent in each change. Need to get some perspective on it and hurry is not welcome in this cases. My apologyes to all people using fillet-chamfer, they need to wait to get it ready again. If anybody can give me light, my bugs become when delete a node of a Fillet-Chamfer path. some times are a double linked list bug -¿maybe by reusing a GDB previous session?-, sometimes are knot indexing ¿Why knotholder not refresh on every node delete? Cheers, Jabier.

Build failures with current trunk (as of rev 14882)
by Bryce Harrington 12 May '16

12 May '16

Issue #1: CXX color-profile.o ../../src/main.cpp: In function ‘int sp_main_gui(int, const char**)’: ../../src/main.cpp:1071:39: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘&’ token catch (const Gtk::CssProviderError& ex) ^ ../../src/main.cpp:1071:39: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘&’ token ../../src/main.cpp:1071:39: error: expected ‘{’ before ‘&’ token ../../src/main.cpp:1071:41: error: ‘ex’ was not declared in this scope catch (const Gtk::CssProviderError& ex) ^ ../../src/main.cpp:1071:43: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘)’ token catch (const Gtk::CssProviderError& ex) ^ ../../src/main.cpp:1083:39: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘&’ token catch (const Gtk::CssProviderError& ex) ^ ../../src/main.cpp:1083:39: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘&’ token ../../src/main.cpp:1083:39: error: expected ‘{’ before ‘&’ token ../../src/main.cpp:1083:43: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘)’ token catch (const Gtk::CssProviderError& ex) ^ make[5]: *** [main.o] Error 1 I suspect that this was introduced prior to rev 14882, but haven't investigated it. Issue #2: The version specification in the cmake scripts depends on bzr which shouldn't be used in the nightly builds: VER_PREFIX="0.91+devel";\ VER_BZRREV=" r`bzr revno --tree ../..`"; \ if test ! -z "`bzr status -S -V ../../src`"; then \ VER_CUSTOM=" custom"; \ fi; \ VERSION="$VER_PREFIX$VER_BZRREV$VER_CUSTOM"; \ echo "namespace Inkscape { " \ "char const *version_string = \"$VERSION\"; " \ "}" > inkscape-version.new.cpp; \ if cmp -s inkscape-version.new.cpp inkscape-version.cpp; then \ rm inkscape-version.new.cpp; \ else \ mv inkscape-version.new.cpp inkscape-version.cpp; \ fi; \ echo $VERSION /bin/bash: line 1: bzr: command not found /bin/bash: line 2: bzr: command not found CXX main.o I think the solution here is to just shortcircuit all this if we're doing a launchpad build. So this needs an option added to cmake to set the version number. After that, I can adjust the recipe in launchpad to use it.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Recommending an OS
by jelle 11 May '16

> 4. Recommending an OS (Martin Owens) > 5. Re: Recommending an OS (Eduard Braun) Martin, Before we end up in the "My Distro is better than yours" discussion, I would like to state I am no fan of Ubuntu myself. That said, as far as I know it works pretty well on all versions and GUI's available on Linux. It actually also works quite well on Windows is my experience, though I'll never touch another Mac in my life unless my life depends on it, so that's a blank for me. I have to agree with Eduard here, that it feels a bit like the old website remarks,.. designed for X by Y. Optimised for MSIE etc. of Ye Olden Days... Apart from that we might think about making a page about getting print done using FOSS. As far as I am aware there are some articles on the topic, but nothing all that prominent and not easily found. If we can make the case that you can do pretty much what you're doing with commercial software for free and with clear descriptions on how to do things for the average button pusher, it will make a stronger case if there is a clear path using whatever distro of Linux in the description. The same goes for web design btw or any other design form currently getting supported. HPGL plotting and cutters, even embroidery is on the list these days. Something like a "Output Info" button on the website, with a page with links to articles with hands on experience would be great. A time stamp and version related to the link would be useful too btw. Don't know how much effort it would be to create some kind of RSS feed on such articles so the more recent go on top. Or maybe a user input rating the article to relevance. Rather than having a maintainer for such a thing it may be an idea to try and automate it as much as possible. Cheers, Jelle

Keeping logs is easy since everyone can check progress of the work. What should I prefer for keeping my daily logs for the GSoC project - my personal website (included below my signature) or via Wiki account? -- Kamalpreet Kaur Grewal Blog: http://kamalpreetgrewal.com/

[UI] Reviewed blueprints that can be ported
by Xaviju Julián 10 May '16

10 May '16

Hi, As agreed in the LGM, I created a list of all the blueprints of https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape that can be ported to be reviewed by the Inkscape UI team. There is one column with the link to the blueprint, the second column is relevant information about the blueprint, as a link to the full description or resource suggested by the drafter or the comments in the whiteboard. I've added a column named 'Has UI proposal' to mark all of them that already include a UI wireframe by the drafter that can be ported to the gallery. Most of them do not have a wireframe but could be very interesting ideas as well to discuss. It would be nice to set a meeting or hangout to talk as well on how to deal with such a lot of ideas, some or them are really interesting. Best regards, Xavi [Xaviju]

Hi to all. I get a review for the new fillet-chamfer code by Krzysztof. There is a lot of changes and I'm not sure I could fix all this week. For this question, I put the old fillet-chamfer code in experimental mode. I hope it not diturb too much. Sorry for all users. I try to finish the thinkgs this weekend to reenable again with the new code. But maybe we can get on 0.92 :(. Cheers, Jabier.

Inkscape licensing
by Krzysztof Kosiński 08 May '16

08 May '16

Hello everyone, tl;dr: Most Inkscape code is GPLv2+, but the complete program is GPLv3+ due to bits of code from GIMP. The Inkscape Board has resolved some licensing problems within our codebase and Inkscape is now available under GPL version 3 or later. The vast majority of code in Inkscape is covered by GPL version 2 or later; the authors of 4 files that were GPL v2 only were contacted and all agreed to relicense their contributions to GPL v2+, while one file was rewritten from scratch. However, Inkscape also includes a few files from GIMP, which are available under GPL v3+ only. Therefore, redistribution of the complete program is currently possible only under the terms of GPL version 3 or later. We would like to keep existing source and new contributions GPL v2+, so that we may make Inkscape available under GPL v2+ if the GIMP code is removed. Best regards, Krzysztof
