Is it only the downscaling bug that necessitates bringing these in-tree? Or are there other bugs needing new cairo/pixman features? Also, anyone happen to have a good demonstration of the problem they should show me? I'd like to improve the test case I wrote for this, and would help to see some real-world examples of where people have run into the bug. > > > So bug #804162 is solvable by bringing cairo and pixman into tree.

What percentage of the bugs have owners so far? This early in the release, a focus on just getting owners for the unowned ones might be the most productive thing to do... Bryce

Refactoring low level calculations on shapes
by Markus Engel 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

Hi, when working through the code I found lots of ugly-looking sections, especially things that have got to do with geometry. Here, I just tried rewriting the code that calculates the shape of an SPEllipse: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~engelmarkus/inkscape/cppify/revision/11735 Is this the right way to go? Using 2geom wherever you can? Regards, Markus

Inkscape in Git
by Martin Owens 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

I've written a guide to how our developers can use git while developing inkscape: http://staging.inkscape.org/en/develop/using-git-repositories/ I've modified the required regular documentation to link these pages in too, we should have no problems allowing people to use git. The hosting provider we use for inkscape's code is launchpad. I like launchpad and I also think it would be way too much work to move inkscape to a less-useful project host like github or savanna just for git based remotes. Hopefully this kind of compromise on the client side can allow developers to not feel put out about our choice in repository technology.

Website: Debugging Page
by Martin Owens 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

Hey Devs, I'm calling on those who know to help write out new debugging page here: http://staging.inkscape.org/en/develop/debugging/ It needs to contain the information on the wiki here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Debugging_Inkscape As well as information about logging (enabling, different log options), using gdb and links to where to get gdb help or a gui for gdb. Anything extra such as compile flags to improve logging and using cout or g_warning or g_info statements in code and when it's good to use them. I'd also like something about how to use the multiple packages we have in the trunk ppa system to narrow down a problem. I think SUV has this magic already, allowing other bug hunters and devels to know how to set that up would be very useful. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Launchpad Administrator changes for Inkscape
by Bryce Harrington 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

The Launchpad administration team for Inkscape handles commit access requests, and various other duties on the launchpad website. We keep the team limited to six people, which means adding a new admin requires swapping with one of the others. Ted Gould has decided to step back from the team, and allow Krzysztof to take on adminship. Welcome Krzysztof, and many thanks Ted for your service! Bryce P.S. a few other admins are due to renew membership in October; if they choose not to renew, then we may need to ask for volunteers to fill those slots. I will follow up later if this is the case.

SPGenericEllipse "d" attribute
by Tomasz Boczkowski 23 Sep '13

23 Sep '13

Hi all, While fixing bug #1227193 i have encoutered strange behaviour of SPGenericEllipse. When a new ellipse is drawn, the "d" attribute in corresponding svg:path element is set by SPGenericEllipse::write and contains arcs. However in SPGenericEllipse::update_patheffect, triggered by document idle handler, "d" attribute is regenerated from SPCurve and has other value. Instead of two arcs there are four curve elements. I would like to address this issue. Since those are my first steps in inkscape development, I have some quesions. 1) Should I add arcto method to SPCurve and make both SPGeneralEllipse methods generate the same "d" attribute value? 2) Why there are two different methods that generate "d" attribute value? Should one of them (sp_arc_set_elliptical_path_attribute or sp_svg_write_path call in update_patheffect) be removed? 3) Should static function sp_arc_set_elliptical_path_attribute be c++-fied to private member method? Regards, Tomasz Boczkowski

Last Report

Hi guys! On saturday i commited merge of last big part of my GSoC project. It included a lot of fixes, procedural templates support and example of a procedural template (Empty Page). Right now, I'm working on updating wiki pages related to my project. Of course, if anyone of you has any suggestions for fixes or cleanups related to things I've been working on, I'll be glad to include them after the GSoC. Thanks for this cool experience, I hope to have time to still contribute to this project after summer is over. Slagvi, Jan Darowski

I believe it is a matter of taking pixman/cairo (unreleased) version 1.13 (right?) making sure we have that available in our package and making sure our builds require it. > > Has anyone talked about doing an alpha release?

Technically every version of Inkscape so far has been alpha. No v1.0 because we're not feature complete. And I'd also hazard that the trunk build ppa system is equivalent to an alpha build. What perhaps we need is a mellow freeze and a beta release. Thoughts? Martin,

Removal Of Objects from Selection
by Arshdeep Singh 23 Sep '13

23 Sep '13

How can I keep track of objects being removed from the selection ? [ I have been digging through the desktop.cpp/inkscape.cpp/selection.cpp files and couldn't find any noteworthy construct that let me do it. ] Also, if I bubbled up signal emission, how can that be achieved ? If widget A contains B which contains C. So I want "released" signal of A to be invoked when "released" signal of C is invoked. How can I do that ? -- Arshdeep Singh Third Year, Computer Engineering Delhi Technological University Ph: +91-9654115614 https://sites.google.com/site/adsingh1729/home
