Fwd: Launchpad 1.2.2: faster PPA builds, enhanced bug subscriptions and more karma!
by Bryce Harrington 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

----- Forwarded message from Matthew Revell <matthew.revell@...1798...> ----- Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2008 17:22:37 +0000 From: Matthew Revell <matthew.revell@...1798...> To: warthogs <warthogs@...1799...> Subject: Launchpad 1.2.2: faster PPA builds, enhanced bug subscriptions and more karma! X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.6 required=5.0 tests=AWL,EMPTY_MESSAGE autolearn=no version=3.2.4 It's time for another Launchpad release and this is one with something for just about everyone! * Karma fiends take note: registering branches and linking branches to bugs or blueprints now earns you karma! Want to know more about karma? Take a look at https://help.launchpad.net/KarmaCalculation * Faster PPA builds: we've cut the time it takes to build packages in PPAs. The moment you upload your source, Launchpad starts building. * More bug notifications: now you can subscribe to get bug mail about any milestone, project, package or distribution. * Savannah bug watches: keep an eye on bugs tracked at savannah.gnu.org and savannah.nognu.org * Improved branch registration page: it's now easier to register a branch in Launchpad. There's also exciting news for Launchpad beta testers! You can now apply to use Launchpad to run a mailing list for a team you're involved with. Find out more at https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp Not a beta tester yet? You're missing out on first looks at new features and the chance to shape the future of Launchpad. Learn more at https://help.launchpad.net/BetaTesting Read on for more of what's new in Launchpad 1.2.2. Package management and PPAs (Soyuz) =================================== * PPA build times have been cut by up to an hour. Now, the build process starts as soon as you upload a package. * Packages in PPAs now have a changelog and details of the resultant binary packages. Visit https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive and expand one of the packages listed to see an example. (Bug 181323) * Ubuntu's unapproved package queue is now visible to all Launchpad users. Visit https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+queue?queue_state=1 (Bug 181297) * Rejecting language packs from the upload queue previously caused a UI OOPS or queue-tool crash. This is now fixed. (Bug 187285) * If a package fails to build because it depends on a binary that is not available, DEPWAIT will now retry the build only if it can fulfil all dependencies from a compatible component. This will result in cleaner build logs and more build slots for other packages. (Bug 177827) * Packages synced from Debian are now automatically overridden to the correct Ubuntu component. Packages from Debian main enter Ubuntu universe, while packages from Debian's contrib and non-free enter Ubuntu's multiverse. (Bug 120052) Launchpad Code ============== * We've overhauled the "Register branch" page to make it easier and quicker to register a new branch. Improvements include: a drop-down list to choose the branch owner, which is populated by yourself and the teams of which you're a member and a preview of the branch URL, if you're registering a hosted branch, which is updated as you change the branch details (such as the owner). If you're registering a hosted branch, you'll also notice that the branch URL field is disabled. Mail feedback@...1881... with your comments on these changes! (Bugs 184707 and 184708) * You can propose a merger between two branches that are tracked by Launchpad. For example: if someone wants to add a new feature to your code, they can create a new branch, hack on it, upload it back to Launchpad and then propose it for merger with your original branch. As the owner of that original branch, you can now review and either accept or reject the proposed merger directly in the Launchpad UI. Find out more at https://help.launchpad.net/BranchMergeProposals (Blueprint branch-merge-signoff) * More karma! Registering branches and linking branches to bugs or blueprints now adds to your karma. These activities also now show up on your Launchpad profile page as participation in the relevant project. * When browsing a branch's recent revisions, the name of a revision's author is now linked to that person's Launchpad profile page, where available. Launchpad makes the link by matching the email portion of the revision author information with email addresses registered against Launchpad people profiles. (Bug 144062) * When searching for a branch - for example, to create a bug-branch link - you can now search for the full unique name of the branch, such as ~bzr/bzr/trunk. (Bug 173121) Bug Tracker =========== * Staying informed of the latest bugs associated with something that interests you is now supremely easy. Simply click "Subscribe to bugmail" in the Actions menu on the overview page of a milestone, project, distribution package or a distribution itself. Subscriptions for project-groups (e.g. https://launchpad.net/mozilla) will come later this year. (Bugs 186607, 186611, 186612, 186616 and 186619) * You can now use Launchpad to watch bugs that are tracked on savannah.gnu.org and savannah.nognu.org. (Bug 45386) * Using the bug tracker's email interface? Now you can attach files to a bug report without having to use the web interface. Simply attach the file to an email and send it to the bug tracker. Certain types of file, such as email signatures, are ignored. (Bug 30225) * Bug notification emails have two new headers: X-Launchpad-Bug-Private and X-Launchpad-Bug-Security-Vulnerability. Their value can be either "yes" or "no". Also, notifications about new security-related bugs have a prominent notice at the top of the message: "*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***" (Bug 45583) * Want help using the bug tracker's email interface? Send a blank mail from one of your Launchpad-registered email addresses to help@...1882... and you'll get a reply with instructions. (Bug 158700) * Launchpad logs unexpected errors as "OOPS reports". Now, if such an error occurs while you're using the bug email interface, Launchpad will email you with the OOPS report number to let you know that there was a problem. If the error is blocking your work, you can file a support request at https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+addquestion (Bug 126949) Translations ============ * It's now easier to browse someone's translations, which is useful if you're evaluating their work. Currently you can visit their translations overview page and see a list of all the applications and distribution packages they've helped translate. Clicking on an application and package name now reveals the full list of strings they've contributed. Previously this would display the list of other translators for that application. Take a look at https://translations.launchpad.net/people/+me to try it out if you're an active translator. (Blueprint easy-translator-evaluation-view) * Launchpad supports up to four plural forms in each language. We are working to extend that to six but, in the meantime, Launchpad will email you an error message to explain the problem if it occurs. (Bugs 181707 and 189880) * You will now get more helpful error messages if a translation file import fails. (Bug 35430) * You can now use PO files that have escaped newlines. (Bug 185841) * In languages with multiple plural forms, omitting one or more forms from a translation previously caused an error. We've now fixed this. (Bug 186548) * We fixed a bug where a translation's last contributor (the "Last-Translator" field) was not updated when the translation changed. (Bug 190145) * Searching for the name of a language at https://translations.launchpad.net/+languages is now case insensitive. You can also search using parts of a language name. For example: searching for "pani" will return "Spanish". (Bug 127901) * Searching translations will now also search for parts of words. For example: search for "download" and you'll also receive results for "downloading", "downloadable", etc. -- Matthew Revell - talk to me about Launchpad Join us in #launchpad on irc.freenode.net -- warthogs mailing list warthogs@...1799... https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/warthogs ----- End forwarded message -----

Color management in win32
by Rock Star 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Could someone explain how to use new color management in Windows? I'm really not an expert on this, but as far as I understand the "color management profile" should be saved in some ICC file. In GIMP for example you have an option to load ICC profile from the file on the disk, but there is no such option in Inkscape. At least not in Windows build. So where the profile is suppose to be taken from? Thanks for the explanation :) Best regards, Rok

[NEW] extenstion for creating latex figures from inkscape.
by Richard Henwood 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Hi Folks, Some time ago, I looked into adding a feature to 'pstricks' output to /not/ convert fonts to paths. I failed to make progress on that, so have tackled the problem using an extension (attached). I've knocked up a website with a description: http://richard.henwood.googlepages.com/inkscapelatexextension A couple of questions: Is it possible to get the current filename into an extension? Do extensions live on the wiki somewhere? please report any good or bad experiences; Richard. rjhenwood@...529...

Filter General Settings
by Alexandre Prokoudine 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Hi, "Filter General Settings" now allows setting "coordinates" and "dimensions". However, it's not quite clear what the unit again is. Percents? Should we probably make those less cryptic by adding help messages popping up on hovering mouse above widgets? P.S. Are we adding such help messages to filter primitive options? Alexandre

Problems with translations - N_() and Q_()
by Marcin Floryan 20 Feb '08

20 Feb '08

Hi! I wanted to bring your attention to some internationalization issues I came across when fixing various bugs. I hope some clarification can be made so that we can avoid further problems. 1.) Using the N_ macro The N_ macro is used to mark strings as being translatable but does not translate them. It has to be used when strings can't be directly translated (most common in the string array initializers). So whenever N_ is added in the code - it needs another call to _() later in the code to actually perform the translation. There have been some circumstances before where this second call was missing and I will try and track if there are any more. Please note that I don't think the N_ macro cannot be simply substituted with, say Q_ (vide: rev. 17415 and panel.cpp) 2.) Using the Q_ macro I have a feeling there is some slight misconception of how this macro is supposed to work. The idea is that the original string is turned into "prefix|string" to make it unique and a call to _() is replaced with a call to Q_(). The Q_() macro itself will call _() (ie. gettext()). The Q_macro will also make sure, that where no translation is available the prefix will be strip from the untranslated text. Please note the attached patch for illustration where this would work OK but an extra call to _() can be avoided. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Hope this helps.

Patch to issue warning when attempting to set or get a non-existent preference
by Tom Davidson 20 Feb '08

20 Feb '08

Hi all, Currently when you try to access the value of a preference setting within Inkscape, no warning is issued if the requested preference doesn't exist. Instead, a default value provided by the caller is returned. This can cause bugs if there is a typo in the preference name, or if the pref is not created properly in src/preferences-skeleton.h. The latter problem caused the 'oversample bitmaps' preference to be broken for at least 2 releases (0.44 and 0.45) (bug 167824 and bug 168346). I wrote a patch to issue a warning when the requested preference doesn't exist, and found that this 'silent failure' behavior is actually used in a few places to allow debugging parameters to be passed in by manually adding items to your preferences.xml file. I saw warnings for 'options.filtertest', 'options.bulia', and 'debug.icons', but there may be more in code paths that I just haven't passed through yet. I can see 3 ways to address this usage while adding the new warning. I have implemented #3 in the attached patch. 1) Deprecate/disallow the use of the preferences file for passing in arbitrary debugging parameters. pro: "clean" con: would remove useful functionality; hard to systematically find all the debugging pref names 2) Introduce a flag in the preferences get/set functions that suppresses the warning. pros: debugging usage would be explicit; no changes to current prefs names con: would have to rewrite all callers 3) Do not issue a warning for prefs that begin with "debug.", and move existing debug prefs to this namespace (options.filtertest becomes debug.filtertest, etc.) pro: captures the developer's intent to use the pref for debugging, without having to rewrite function calls as in #2 con: developers who currently use these flags would have to manually change their preferences.xml files I chose to implement the warning in inkscape_get_repr in src/inkscape.cpp, rather than in the helper functions in src/prefs-utils.cpp, in order to avoid duplication. This may be a bit late for 0.46? Since it's just adding a warning, it seems like a low risk patch, but I don't have SVN access in any case, so will defer to the wisdom of the list... Thoughts/suggestions welcome: I'm new to this! -Tom

More z-order operations
by Rob Antonishen 20 Feb '08

20 Feb '08

Hi- I have been playing with more z-order operations. I wrote the restack extension I posted about a while back, and have been adding features... first arbitrary angle reordering, then radial reorderring, and most recently, I have (in my version) added some more basic z-order functions, such as reverse the selected objects z-order, randomize the z-orders, and shift (rotate?) the z-orders. All these options are making the single extension UI an ugly mess, as many of them have options that only apply to some of the choices. I am thinking of breaking it into three separate extensions. What is the policy for providing extensions like this? Currently I have it under Effects->Modify Path... but don't like that as it is really doesn't modify the paths, just changes the z-order. It seems more like the Object->Raise, Lower, Top, Bottom functions (though it always moves them to the top after adjusting the z-order). I am considering registering these as Object->Change Z-order->*** and having XX separate extensions (or can I have XX menu entries in one extension?) Right now I have: 1: Orthagonal (pick comparison point and 1 of 4 directions) 2: Arbitrary Angle (comparison point and angle slider) 3: Radial (comparison point and direction option-outward or inward) 4: Random (no options) 5: Reverse (no options) 6: Shift (+/- slider either in actual numbers or % of objects in the selection) Are there guidelines for how to best to do this? Thanks, -Rob A>

Release Announcement edits by Brian Forte
by Andy Fitzsimon 20 Feb '08

20 Feb '08

Andy, Below is a copy-edit of my original PR re-write. I've corrected a couple of typos (blame them on the lateness of the writing hour last night) and added your 'what 3D Box' does sentence. I haven't tried to re-write the Tweak Tool or Live Path Effects paragraphs, however. I still think they need re-writing, but I don't know enough about the tools to do the re-write blind. If someone wants to throw some hard data up about what the tools do, I'd be happy to go over said data with an editorial eye. Hope this is at least diverting, if not useful. Regards, Brian. -- tech writer: <http://apac.redhat.com/> columnist: <http://www.redhatmagazine.com/category/documentation/> mobile: +61 (0)439 721 274 email: <mailto:bforte@...43...> ___________________________________________________________________ The Inkscape Community Releases Inkscape 0.46 New York, NY yyyy/mm/dd — The Inkscape community today announced the release of Inkscape 0.46, the newest stable version of their multi-platform, open-source vector graphics editor. This newest Inkscape release includes a plethora of new tools and improvements, beginning with native PDF support. Developed with the assistance of the 2007 Google Summer of Code, and utilising the open source Cairo and Poppler libraries, Inkscape 0.46 provides an easy, open source tool for editing and creating PDF documents. The 2007 Google Summer of Code also produced the new 3D Box tool, the Tweak tool and Live Path Effects. As its name suggests, the 3D Box tool makes it possible to create and edit the perspective of three-dimensional boxes. The Tweak Tool [something other than market speak here: what exactly is the Tweak Tool and what does it do?]. Live Path Effects can be used to create "brushes" and organic effects while keeping the original paths editable. [This needs to be more concrete as well.] As well, gradient editing is now done visually and on-canvas. Gradient stops are depicted as nodes, and multiple nodes can be selected and moved simultaneously. Colour management has also been improved, with initial support for colour spaces other than sRGB, including Adobe RGB and calibrated CMYK. This makes it possible to use calibrated colour values, including CMYK values, that are preserved across applications. The new Paint Bucket Tool allows bounded areas to be filled with colour at the click of a mouse button. This new tool creates a closed-path based on the visible canvas and is useful for quickly colouring line drawings. The Gaussian Blue filter, introduced in Inkscape 0.45, was the first SVG Filter. Inkscape 0.46 expands on this with Offset, Blend, Diffuse Lighting, Specular Lighting and Turbulence primitives. There is also a new, dedicated user interface for creating and altering filters based on these new primitives. Finally, Inkscape 0.46 introduces workflow and user interface improvements. Dialogue boxes can now be docked and minimised to a side-panel, reducing visual clutter and making the relationship between documents and interaction choices clearer, especially when working on multiple documents in separate Inkscape instances. With 0.46 out, the Inkscape community is already working on future releases, including the upcoming 0.47. Full compatibility with SVG Mobile/Tiny is slated for version 0.50 and version 1.0 will include complete W3C SVG 1.1 compliance. Inkscape users have contributed many features and ideas to the project and the community invites anyone to contribute to the project. The more help Inkscape gets, the sooner we reach these goals.

Bounding box calculation
by Pierre-Luc Auclair 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

Hi, It would be really nice if Inkscape would take into account the cap-end style of lines when doing bounding box calculations. Right now, it makes it *impossible* to have a 1px line both on the pixel grid on display and on the pixel grid when exporting the object when butt-cap cap style is applied. Now I have to create invisible objects to export these lines, and it's really tedious and a serious time-waster. You can't also simply set the Y coordinates (if vertical, X if horizontal) through the main toolbar because it results in misaligned pixels. It's a major PITA for me and I'm sure it is for others, it would really require a fix soon. Thanks, Pierre-Luc

Optimized path data
by Jasper van de Gronde 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

I just submitted a patch (id: 1896251) to the patch tracker that changes Inkscape::SVG::PathString to generate the shortest possible path string with decent spacing (that is, it uses the same spacing rules as the old PathString). It does this by eliminating repeated operators when it can, as well as using relative coordinates if it helps. Using this patch I got file size reductions of about 10% on car.svg(z), the new about screen and some of my own files (I looked at both the uncompressed and the compressed svg's). To do this I opened the files, selected all objects and performed a translation of 0px on them, then saved the file (as uncompressed svg, and then again as compressed svg). The optimized path strings are about just as readable as the old ones (sometimes they're even easier to read). I would welcome any suggestions/comments.

Blank menu items
by John Faith 16 Feb '08

16 Feb '08

Hello, With svn 17242, selected menu items are blank for me on OS X (10.3). For example, in the attached image, the "Help" and "Tutorials" menu text is invisible. The application is still usable, but it's an annoying bug. I looked in launchpad and found old similar bugs like this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/168694 , which is marked as fixed. Does this sound familiar to anyone or does anyone know the root cause? Is this a gtk issue? Thanks! , John

Translating names of gimp color palettes
by Marcin Floryan 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

Hi! I was looking at UI after some Polish translations were updated and started wondering if it was at all possible to translate names of the colour pallets available. It seems the following tweak could do the trick: Index: swatches.cpp =================================================================== --- swatches.cpp (revision 17341) +++ swatches.cpp (working copy) @@ -889,7 +891,7 @@ @@ -889,7 +891,7 @@ if ( *name ) { if ( strcmp( "Name", name ) == 0 ) { - onceMore->_name = val; + onceMore->_name = _(val); } else if ( strcmp( "Columns", name ) == 0 ) { But I am not sure how relevant ids could be fed into the template file (pot).

raster effects
by Alexandre Prokoudine 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

Hi, Here are several more notes on current implementation of raster effects. 1. Terminology and hints. In some cases terminology used in effects coming from ImageMagick is not quite obvious. For instance, you might want to reread a course on math to understand what "Sigma" stands for in "Sharpen"/"Unsharp Mask" effects ;-) We might either rename some of the labels (not good for experienced ImageMagick users) or provide hints to explain the meaning of each option. 2. Raster effects are not the only ones to suffer from it, but here goes: effect dialogs inherit caption from menu item name. In several cases the caption is too long and is shrinked. This is not quite visually appealing. Two solutions comes to mind: 1) automatically resize dialog to match caption's length and 2) provide a separate string to dialog's caption which translators could try to make smaller. 3. Cancelling isn't working reliably. I run "Reduce noise" on a 2200x1500 picture and when I click "Cancel" nothing really happens. 4.Should we probbaly implement a "Resize" effect too? Alexandre
