Recommending an OS
by Martin Owens 16 May '16

16 May '16

I'm mentioning this in inkscape since it's an interesting idea executed by a company rather than a free software project: http://store.steampowered.com/about/ Take a look at the bottom, where it says: "Ubuntu is our favorite version of Linux. Interested in giving it a whirl? You can install and run Ubuntu from a Live CD or USB stick, or install it to run alongside Windows. Grab an Ubuntu installer from Canonical and see what it’s all about." That's really interesting from our perspective, because our website never recommends using a free software desktop, or linking to ubuntu's website. Are we too cautious about recommending something like Ubuntu along side using Inkscape? Should we say that linux is the platform with the most support and Ubuntu is probably the one you should try first. Or are we happy with the no-opinion presentation we have currently? Is it false balance to present ourselves as if all desktops are equal to us? Anyway, I'm just mulling this over. Best Regards, Martin Owens

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

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.

> 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]

Fillet-Chamfer
by Jabier Arraiza 09 May '16

09 May '16

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.
