Github Page and Repository
by Ted Gould 30 Jun '22

30 Jun '22

Howdy folks, I was looking at our repo on Github, and frankly, I like it. But, I know for some employers they're rating potential employees on their Github profiles (I don't agree with this, but it happens) and so not having the commits in Github reduces the exposure for that work. This probably effects our "interns" from Google SoC and Outreachy the most. For reference: https://github.com/inkscape/inkscape The problem we've had in the past is that when we had the repo on Github, people would fork it and create Pull Requests that no one would see or triage. Which would frustrate folks (understandably) and look poor on the project. The idea that I had is that we take the Inkscape repo, and we make a branch "github" that has the same README and graphic that is currently up on Github. We push the full Inkscape repo, but then set the default visible branch to the "github" branch. So anyone going to the repository sees exactly the same thing. Github doesn't seem to have a mechanism for disabling PRs, or forks. So we're relying on people actually reading the text. But I was curious what folks thought about the idea. Ted

Inkscape lagging
by Finn Downey 05 Jun '22

05 Jun '22

> > > > > > > > Hello Inkscape. My name is Finn Downey. And I have been using Inkscape to make a drawing to put on Deviantart but I am having a slight problem. > It seems that the bigger my drawing gets, the slower the website seems to act. I have especially noticed that whenever I try to change the width and height of the drawing in the document properties, the numbers seem to automatically revert to what they were before I changed them. And whenever I select something to try and move it, it moves so slowly. > do you know what is wrong and if there is anything that can be done to fix these problems? > > please send a reply. Thank you kindly. >

Further information about CVEs
by Thomas Leroy 20 May '22

20 May '22

Hi there, As you may know, 3 CVEs [0] [1] [2] have been assigned to Inkscape, but there are a very few information available. The 3 CVE pages redirect to the same CISA page [3], mentioning Inkscape version 1.0 or later as fixed. Could you please confirm this information? Moreover, in the case of backporting patches is preferred instead of upgrading, could you please point me to the fixing commits? That would be very awesome.:) Best regards, Thomas [0]https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-42700 [1]https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-42702 [2]https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-42704 [3]https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/ics/advisories/icsa-22-132-03 -- Thomas Leroy Security engineer SUSE Software Solutions
