Objective for milestone 1
by Bryce Harrington 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Given the amount of work the g++ conversion has taken, I'm simplifying the focus for milestone 1 to be completion and release of the g++ conversion and getting the website up to snuff. I think those are probably the two most important things right now, since a release and a website are prereqs to getting others involved. What do you guys think? I've listed some items for Milestone 2 but consider them extremely preliminary. I'm figuring that once we've got the C++ conversion securely under our belts, we're going to want some breathing time to do some random R&D, cleanup, etc. etc. so I think keeping the tasks for M2 flexible would be a good thing. Feel free to shove things that seem uninteresting/unimportant to you to the future, or move up or add things you are drawn to working on. Thinking beyond that to mid-term strategies, I figure we're going to want to have a mix of feature, architecture, and test development, and select a specific effort for each of these areas to focus on. Whatever work is selected for the architecture development, lets make sure to do it on a branch, as this type of work is the most likely to require leaving the tree in a broken state for a long time.

Project Status
by Bryce Harrington 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

We're off to a good solid start. Milestone 0 is nearly done - we just need to wrestle Mental into posting 'experimental' ;-). We've got the codebase compiling under g++ now, and are down to linker errors. While it's turned out to be quote a battle, we're showing good teamwork that is bound to benefit us with future efforts. The Hydra branch got accepted and integrated into the Sodipodi codebase, which nicely validates our earlier efforts. The SourceForge project has been configured up, and we've got a first stab at a website. Several other Sodipodi developers have been notified of our intent; I've only heard from oka though, so I suspect we need to prove our mettle before gaining their support.

Re: [Sodipodi-list] Karbon14: Bool-Ops, SVG-Import (fwd)
by Bryce Harrington 30 Oct '03

May be worth checking out the codebase of Karbon to scope out if it'd be worth borrowing code/algorithms from it. I've added a task to wiki to do so.

I've been working my way through sodipodi making everything work with g++. At this point I have done: libnr/* libnrtype/* inkscape.c Not complete, but partly working: helpers widgets to test, just change the CC=gcc line in the makefile and make clean && make the aim is to have inkscape compile both in gcc and g++. biggest problem is _(). most effort has been fixing variables named 'new' and 'class' and sorting out the various string types. I also found a bug thanks to the type system (two params swapped) :). njh

Planned tasks for milestone 0
by Bryce Harrington 30 Oct '03

30 Oct '03

Given that we really just started this yesterday, it's impressive how far we've got so suddenly. The remaining tasks for this milestone are quite modest, and I think we could quite easily get them finished up today and have our first milestone behind us. :-) Bryce === Milestone 0 === Inkscape Production: * (DONE) Post hydra-october patchset to Sodipodi mailing list [bryce] * (DONE) Import sodipodi into inkscape CVS as module 'inkscape' from hydra-october [mental] * (DONE) Unsodipodify the tree, replacing instances of 'Sodipodi' with 'Inkscape' where appropriate (we will be keeping the sodipodi XML namespace for compatibility) [mental] * (DONE) Install inkscape 0.00 for personal use [bryce] * (DONE) Install inkscape 0.00 for personal use [mental] * Install inkscape 0.00 for personal use [ted] * Install inkscape 0.00 for personal use [njh] * Decide what release number N to use (0.00? 0.33? 1.00?)

CVS commit diff
by Bryce Harrington 30 Oct '03

30 Oct '03

I expect most people already know this but in case not here's a trick to get cvs commit to display a diff of what you're checking in: Create a file called ~/bin/cvsdiffedit: ---------------------------------- #!/bin/bash echo Building diff... cvs diff -u 2>/dev/null | perl -ne 'print "CVS: $_" unless /^\?/' >> $1 exec emacs $1 ---------------------------------- (Change 'emacs' to your favorite editor) Then put this in your .cshrc: ---------------------------------- ... if (-e $HOME/bin/cvsdiffedit) then setenv CVSEDITOR "$HOME/bin/cvsdiffedit" endif ... ---------------------------------- Or if you use BASH or similar: ---------------------------------- ... export CVSEDITOR=~/bin/cvsdiffedit ... ---------------------------------- Bryce

Website auto-rebuild
by Bryce Harrington 30 Oct '03

30 Oct '03

The website is set to auto-update every couple minutes. To modify the website, check out inkscape_web, cd into src/, add or edit files and directories as desired, and do cvs commit. Docs on the EtText format are available from ettext.taint.org. Bryce

New mailing lists
by Bryce Harrington 30 Oct '03

30 Oct '03

I've added two "auto-notify" mailing lists. inkscape-tracker@...6... is configured to get CC'd for all Bug, Patch, or Feature Request submissions sent by users. Useful for keeping in touch with what users are wanting. inkscape-cvs@...6... gets sent every CVS commit message. Useful for tracking what developers are doing. Enjoy, Bryce

Install inkscape
by Bryce Harrington 30 Oct '03

30 Oct '03

Now that Mental has imported inkscape into CVS, I recommend that each of us make an effort to download, compile, and install it within the next few days, and to force ourselves to start using it instead of sodipodi for all of our own personal vector drawing needs. I've created tasks for each of us to do this, on the plan. Please mark them (DONE) when you've finished installing it on your system. http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DevelopmentRoadmap Bryce

Skeleton website
by Bryce Harrington 30 Oct '03

30 Oct '03

I blatantly stole the web structure, etc. from OSDL for us. http://www.inkscape.org/ I expect we'll chuck the color and look & feel stuff, but this gives us the basic structure, navigational elements, etc. This is checked into cvs as inkscape_web. This doesn't use php, so our URL's are going to be like normal URLs instead of hanging everything off of an index.php?foo=bar type thing. Since it uses TT2 we can still do a lot of the same scripting type stuff that can be done in PHP, only without any processing overhead. Bryce
