Special static analysis build target
by Johan Engelen 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

Hi all, To speed up the static analysis and clean up the list of bugs, I would like to have a "make static-analysis" or some other way to "tell make" to not compile the directories that we do not want static analysis on, and not to do all non-compile jobs (so also not link). The following directories should be excluded: - libcroco - libgdl - libavoid As you perhaps have seen, these libs trigger a bunch of static analysis errors, but they really should be fixed upstream. Thanks so much, Johan

libavoid in Inkscape: bug with compiler optimization
by Johan Engelen 13 Oct '14

13 Oct '14

Hello Michael, While running a static analyzer on Inkscape's codebase [1], I found a fairly severe bug in our copy of libavoid. I checked your git repository, and the bug is still present. In graph.cpp, from line 643: void EdgeList::clear(void) { while (_firstEdge) { delete _firstEdge; } COLA_ASSERT(_count == 0); _lastEdge = NULL; } The bug here is that the compiler might optimize the loop-condition and only check it once, assuming that the destructor of _firstEdge does not have the side-effect of changing _firstEdge. In fact, libavoid's design is such that the destructor does have such a side effect. I find this a *very* questionable design, that is bound to cause bugs for developers contributing code or, in this case, by a (afaik fairly common, see [2]) compiler optimization. I am surprised you have not had programs run into this problem. However, I cannot rewrite all the code that relies on that behavior. I hope you would consider redesigning the list implementation, such that it does not have unintuitive side effects. For now, I am planning to "fix" this bug by: void EdgeList::clear(void) { EdgeInf *edge = _firstEdge; while (edge) { EdgeInf *next_edge = edge->lstNext; delete edge; edge = next_edge; } COLA_ASSERT(_count == 0); COLA_ASSERT(_firstEdge == NULL); _lastEdge = NULL; } Do you agree with this fix? Thank you for your comment. Kind regards, Johan [1] http://ec2-54-69-235-61.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:8080/job/Inkscape_t… [2] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9495856/how-to-prevent-g-from-optimizing…

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-translator] 0.91 About Screen Contest - Developer voting time

For me it's a clear vote for #3, Eisvogel. Simple but different than most about-screens I've seen lately. (although #1 and #2 are also very good. I especially like the SVG anim in #2 even though it's a bit too limited IMHO) Cheers.

Use-after-free bug in text_reassemble.c
by Johan Engelen 11 Oct '14

11 Oct '14

Hello David, Recently, clang's static-analyzer found a use-after-free bug in your code in extension/internal/text_reassemble.c [1] The fact that the trace is 83 steps long and goes all over the file is very worrying, and means it would take someone unfamiliar with the code a lot of time to fix the bug. Please study the analyzer report and fix the bug. Thank you, Johan [1] http://ec2-54-69-235-61.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:8080/job/Inkscape_t…

About Screen Contest - 3-way tie for third!
by Josh Andler 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hey all, There was a 3-way tie for third that needs to be broken... more voting is needed from the community to wrap this up this part of the contest. http://inkscapers.deviantart.com/blog/487392705/ For the record, the two entries which have solidified their place are as follows. 1st - http://grassydeviant.deviantart.com/art/Splash-contest-entry-482486783 2nd - http://jfbarraud.deviantart.com/art/InkMotelBlinking4-480823055 It's a shame we don't support animation because if you go to the second place entry's page and click the download link to the right you get to see the full effect. Cheers, Josh

Hiya, I saw an article about your new funded development policy, and read over the Funded Development Model page. Is this the Proposed Projects list: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Projects ? It would be nice for http://inkscape.org/en/contribute/funded-devel/ to link the text "Proposed Projects list" to the appropriate page (whether that's on the wiki, the website, or etc..). Speaking of the wiki, it would be very convenient if the wiki login page (http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin) linked the text "email the developer list" to the devel list section of the mailing list page, (e.g. http://inkscape.org/en/community/mailing-lists/#inkscape-devel). Regarding source code, I didn't find a repository url or checkout instructions on the "Inkscape's Repositories" page (http://inkscape.org/en/develop/inkscape-bzr/). For comparison, here's what Launchpad provides on the "Code: Inkscape" page: --- You can browse the source code for the development focus branch or get a copy of the branch using the command: bzr branch lp:inkscape --- Cheers, --R -- Robinson Tryon QA Engineer - The Document Foundation LibreOffice Community Outreach Herald qubit@...3158...

Fw: how to submit tutorials for official documentation?
by Brynn 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Hi again, Also for item 4.2, under "Development (no coding needed)" > Mockup new dialogs. This is a good one, because I've seen questions about this in forums. No one seems to know where to submit such new dialog mockups. I might guess, the dev mailing list, but not sure. If you could tell me where/how, I'll include that :-) And in that same section, > Add Extensions. I can say that it has been frustrating trying to guide people (in forum topics) who want to learn how to write extensions. If anyone could write a tutorial for that, or at least a brief guide, I think it would be very helpful, and as well, perhaps result in more new extensions. (Same for filters, although that's another story.) As I mentioned earlier, related to updating the FAQ (in an older msg), I'll be making a list of needed documentation (afa the faq). So I'll include this in the list. No one really answered, when I asked to whom I should send such a list. I know you said Tav is the point guy for the manual. But for other documentation, who should I contact? Also Tav? Thanks again :-D brynn -------------------------------------------------- From: "Brynn" <brynn@...3133...> Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2014 11:08 PM To: "Inkscape-Devel" <Inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: [Inkscape-devel] how to submit tutorials for official documentation? > Hi Friends, > For item #4.2 of the FAQ ("Are there non-coding ways to help?") > under Help Fellow Users > Write Tutorials, I want to include info on how > to > submit tutorials for the official documentation.

another updating faq question (how to open CDR files)
by Brynn 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Hi Friends, Another FAQ item which doesn't seem to make sense, and that I'm not familiar with -- How to open CDR files. (Currently item 6.8 but will be moved in updated faq). Here's what it says now: ____________________ You can use UniConvertor for converting CDR files and some other formats to SVG. In Inkscape 0.46+, there's an input extension that will allow you to open or import CDR files directly from Inkscape if you have UniConvertor installed on your system. If you can't run UniConvertor, you can try this workaround: 1 - Open the CDR file in Corel Draw. Save it as a binary encoded CGM* file. It will save only vector graphics. It will not save bitmap graphics. 2 - Open the CGM file in OpenOffice Impress. Copy to Open Office Draw and insert original JPG or another bitmap graphics. Save file as ODG And you can continue in Open Office Draw program.) 3 - Select all (CTRL+A) 4 - Export as SVG. 5 - Open SVG file in Inkscape and correct mistakes if they appear. Note: OpenOffice will open only binary encoded CGM files in Impress. If the CGM is encoded using clear-text encoding, it will be opened in OpenOfice Writer, thus rendering the next steps invalid. ____________________ It's the workaround that's not making sense. #2 about inserting JPG -- I might guess that maybe CDR files can contain both raster and vector images?? But it's not clear at all. I mean, this workaround requires the user to have Corel Draw, Open Office Impress, and OO Draw, all installed. With all that, and they still need Inkscape? I'm not sure the workaround is even worth keeping -- especially not if it's out of date. And there's a close parenthesis which didn't have an open parenthesis. So I think something has been edited incompletely. However, if that's still a valid workaround, I'll keep it in place. Would someone please give me a quick verdict on that? If worth keeping, any edits needed? Thank you so very much :-) All best, brynn

New funded development and fundraising policy
by Bryce Harrington 29 Sep '14

29 Sep '14

Earlier this year we developed a policy for fundraising and for funding development work on Inkscape. Thanks to everyone that helped on this! Now that the policy is fully official I've given it a spot on our website. http://inkscape.org/en/contribute/funded-devel (Martin and other web folks, feel free to move it around if there's a better spot for it...) The intent of this is to delegate power to community members to organize fundraisers and use the gained monies for paid development. This isn't the *only* way we can do fundraisers or paid development, but other things will require more direct board involvement. Hopefully this will give us a more streamlined approach that folks can take advantage of. Bryce

how to submit tutorials for official documentation?
by Brynn 28 Sep '14

28 Sep '14

Hi Friends, For item #4.2 of the FAQ ("Are there non-coding ways to help?") under Help Fellow Users > Write Tutorials, I want to include info on how to submit tutorials for the official documentation. Or at least provide a link to such info. (Also, I might want to contribute tutorials myself.) So far, all I've found is this page http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/User_manual_information, which I'm not sure is even a relevant doc anymore. It says to subscribe to the Inks Docs mailing list, but other links are dead (not found). Is there any other info, that I haven't found yet? Or is subscribing to the list, pretty much all that's needed (and then tutorial writers will find out how to submit them, from the mailing list)? Thanks for your help :-) brynn

updating FAQ, Linux and Mac issues
by Brynn 25 Sep '14

25 Sep '14

Hi Friends, I'm still working on updating the FAQ, and splitting into User FAQ and Development FAQ. Could some one or more of you, please review the following (regarding Linux and Mac issues) and suggest any corrections which may be needed? Since I only use Windows, I can't be sure about them. Bryce indicated that some of it might be tmi (in a previous message). I can say that generally the Alt key in Linux, as well as all the Mac issues, do come up frequently. So I'd like to keep them in there. But if any of it can be deleted or consolidated, ....or even if you know of additional issues, I certainly will trust your judgment. 3.10 and the 5 sub-sections (3.10.1 through 3.10.5) and 3.17 and its 9 or 10 sub-sections (3.17.1 through 3.17.9.2) which you can see on the website http://inkscape.org/en/learn/faq/ or in the wiki http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ. Since there is so much text, I've attached just those portions in a separate html file, for your convenience. You may note some minor changes between the current faq (on wiki and inkscape.org) and my file, already, but it's nearly identical. And I'm asking about the content, not the html code. It just seems like html would be the easiest way to provide it. Anyway, I suspect it's probably fairly current and correct already, so it shouldn't take long :-) Thank you very much :-) brynn

Document Unit Change problems.
by Tavmjong Bah 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

Hi, Trunk/experimental has the ability to change the "Document Unit" in the Document Preferences dialog. Changing the unit changes 'lengths' throughout the document. This process has quite a few problems as demonstrated by the number of bugs reported. In order to get a handle on these problems, I've started a Wiki page to track the issues and to get an idea about possible solutions: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Units_In_Inkscape:_Document_Unit_Ch… The problems are quite complex. The simplest solution for the short-term (on the 0.91 release time scale) might be to just disable document unit changes. Please look at the page and add your comments, bugs, etc. Thanks, Tav

Bug with pixel perfect SVG
by Fabien Sanglard 23 Sep '14

23 Sep '14

Hello, I am trying to open in Inkspace (Mac OS X v0.48) a SVG file (wolfd_4.svg) that is a pixel perfect version of a PNG (wolf3d_4.png). Chrome and Safari are able to render the image well (chrome_rendition.png and safari_rendition.png). However when loaded in Inkspace (inkspace_rendition.png), I can see gaps between the squares that are supposed to be pixels. Is there any way to fix this ? Fabien PS: Safari Mac OS X v7.0.6 (9537.78.2) Chrome Mac OS X v37.0.2062.94

Changing trunk to 96 pixels per inch.
by Tavmjong Bah 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

Hi, The experimental branch has been using 96 pixels per inch per the CSS 2.1 standard for over two months now without complaint. Is there any objection to switching trunk to this value? As Inkscape has switched to using 'pt' for text size by default, it is important that this change happen to ensure that the size of text rendered in browsers match the size of text rendered in Inkscape.

Paying for Downloads
by Martin Owens 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

I've here at Free Software Day (Boston) and have just completed a panel on the economics of Free Software development. Something which came up and something I want to have a serious discussion about is the implementation of an opportunity to donate screen like libreOffice: http://donate.libreoffice.org/home/dl/deb-x86_64/4.3.1/en-US/LibreOffice_4.… If one clicks on this link, it waits a few seconds and gives you the file. But as well as the file it also offers you an opportunity to donate/contribute to the project. I'd like to implement this for inkscape.org but it would have to be blessed by the community since other developers are users may have valid concerns which should be taken into account with this format. Things I'm thinking about: * Making sure we have suggested amounts * Offering something in return? Maybe offer an ability to buy swag? * What is SFC's position on these kinds of pages? * Have an invitation to contribute other things. Time, bug tracking etc? * Give donators a badge on their website user? I'm looking for any contribution to this discussion, good or bad. Please let me know what you think. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Inkscape Hackfest Planning IRC Report #1
by Tavmjong Bah 16 Sep '14

16 Sep '14

Contents: * Introduction * Hackfest LGM * Hackfest FOSDEM * Updating FSA * Mac OSX Introduction ============ A group of interested Inkscape developers met via IRC with Karen Sandler, the Executive Director of the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC)[1]. The primary motive for the meeting was to discuss organizing a hackfest in conjunction with the 2015 Libre Graphics Meeting (LGM) at the end of April in Toronto.[2] If you are interested in participating, please add your name at: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2015 We also briefly discussed updating the Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement (FSA) and the Mac OSX port. We will meet again next week at the same time (Monday 19:00 UTC, 21:00 CEST, 15:00 EDT, 12:00 PDT) at inkscape-devel on freenode. Hackfest LGM ============ Hackfest: Location ------------------ Two possibilities: Toronto: Advantage: No extra travel required. Cheaper hotels, etc.? Disadvantage: Need to find local host. Boston: Advantage: There are many possible places to hold the hackfest. Disadvantage: Extra travel to/from Toronto. US Visa requirements. Possible place: MIT * Martin is contacting LGM to see if they can help us find space. Hackfest: Costs --------------- What will Inkscape pay for? Travel, accommodation, food for sponsored attendees? Refreshments? Equipment? Video projector? We need to decide who to sponsor. Probably 10, maybe up to 20 people. Preferably those with a "job to do" and not just passers-by. Hackfest: Topics ---------------- Code and documentation, see web page for ideas (and add your own). We should outreach to new contributors; maybe have a training period the first morning. Hackfest: Sponsors ------------------ We discussed who might sponsor a hackfest (and why they might). * Karen will inquire with RedHat and Google. * Bryce will contact Samsung. * Intel? Canonical? * ScislaC will compile a list of companies using Inkscape. Hackfest: FOSDEM ================ It might be possible to have a "warm-up" hackfest at FOSDEM.[3] Hacking is one of the main activities at this conference and there should be no problem finding space. FOSDEM 2015 is the weekend of 31 January/1 February in Brussels. Updating the FSA ================ Before we started discussing the hackfest, we briefly discussed updating our Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement (FSA) with SFC. Inkscape was one of the first groups to join FSA and our FSA is a bit out-dated. There are at least two places where changes are needed: 1. The SFC is financed by its members. Member groups are required to give 10% of the funds they raise to the SFC. Inkscape's agreement predates this requirement. The SFC would like to see Inkscape's FSA brought into alignment. The Inkscape board has agreed in principle to this change. 2. Inkscape needs an active board to successfully manage Inkscape's resources. At the moment, board member serve until they resign or until they are removed by a majority vote of the community members. It would good to have a criteria for removing inactive board members without the need for a potentially disruptive vote by the community members. Karen and Bradley will be at the Google Summer of Code Mentor's meet-up as will three Inkscape board members. This will be a good time to finalize the new agreement. Mac OSX ======= We discussed the status of the native Mac OSX port and the possibility of paying a developer to finish it off. The port is done but there seem to be problems with the underlying libraries (Wayland or gtk+/quartz).
