Re: [Inkscape-devel] PPA breakage? (was Re: Inkscape hackfest in Pasadena)

Heya Alex, I looked into this myself, the situation turned out to be a dependency issue with libpng that is particular only to Xenial, and only occurring on the trunk-daily PPA builds. Essentially, trunk needs libpng16 now but it has libpng12, and other stuff breaks if we try and force libpng16. We ended up just deciding that since Xenial is old, probably not worth the trouble to keep it active in the PPA, so I dropped it from the PPA. I got all the other PPA builds up to date. The stable PPA is updated to the 0.92.4 tag, and the stable-daily PPA had an invalid recipe so I fixed that too. Everything seems happily building packages.

(Came here because automatic account creation is disabled) Below is an edit I suggest: *Link*: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_Inkscape_on_Windows_with_… *Section*: Obtaining Inkscape Source. Code: git clone <link> *Edit suggested:* *Common Error(possibly): *due to slow internet connection. error: RPC failed; curl 18 transfer closed with outstanding read data remaining fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed *Solution: * >git clone <link> --depth 1 >git fetch --unshallow *Reference: * *https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38618885/error-rpc-failed-curl-transfer-closed-with-outstanding-read-data-remaining <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38618885/error-rpc-failed-curl-transfer…>* I think if solution to common errors is provided in contribute section it will encourage newcomers to contribute.

Need short url to redirect to https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/issues
by C R 15 Jan '19

15 Jan '19

I need it for the tutorial video on how to report bugs in inkscape on the new GitLab platform. Something short like: inkscape.com/report Since I'm rushing to get the video done for release tomorrow, I'd rather not get into a long debate about what's the best way. If we make a better way later, we can change the video. Time is of the essence. :) Thanks. -C

Build configuration for activation of path effect Fillet/Chamfer
by Johannes Madel 14 Jan '19

14 Jan '19

Hi there, I would like to compile Inkscape in a way so that I can use the Fillet/Chamfer path effect. I got Inkscape compiled under a msys2 environment under windows 10 with the macro WITH_MODULES enabled, but I still cannot find the path effect in the list in the gui interface. As a codebase I use the source code from the gitlab repo and the branch 0.92.x. Am I missing something? I furthermore have not found the given macro in the source code (only one #ifdef in inkview.cpp which seems somewhat related). I would expect some constructs like: #ifdef WITH_MODULES /* some code */ #endif Is this the correct macro to define for this use case? I am not totally sure that I did the build configuration correctly. It seems that the macro definition is supposed to more or less add steps to the build configuration. Could you point me to the files where this is done. Best regards, Johannes Madel

Prep for Inkscape 1.0 alpha
by Bryce Harrington 14 Jan '19

14 Jan '19

Hi all, I am working on packaging issues for getting alpha put together. (Nothing major, just a couple errors in the dist scripts.) Please avoid any code changes from now until tomorrow. If you have a critical (and well-tested) bugfix it might be ok, but just check with me first before landing it. Translations, packaging work, and other non-code changes you know are 100% safe and correct, are ok to land for the next 24 hrs, but I plan to cut the branch at that point. Any other questions or concerns, just drop me an email or catch me on irc or rocketchat. Thanks, Bryce

Hi all, If you're going to be joining us in Pasadena this March, please get your travel arrangements made this weekend, to avoid higher airfare costs. Remember that SFC's travel policy requires doing a flight search with screenshots. If you've not gone through the process, the policy's worth a review before you book flights: https://sfconservancy.org/projects/policies/conservancy-travel-policy.html After making arrangements, add your details here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2019_SCALE_Attendees Bryce

Bug reporting tutorial for Inkscape 1.0 Alpha
by C R 10 Jan '19

10 Jan '19

So, I'm trying to make a video for ongoing bug reporting for Inkscape in GitLab. However, there is no page https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/issues, which I assume is where we want most of the bugs reported, correct? The best I could do at the moment is do a tutorial for how to report an issue in the extensions sub-section: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/issues And that's because there's a big green button that says "New Issue" in the upper right corner. Is it that we have not added all the sub-sections of the project yet? Can someone add those sections so I can work them into the tutorial? (I'd do it but I'm bound to do it wrong). Let me know. In the meantime, I'm making the animation bits, in hopes of having the video ready by the 16th release of 1.0 Alpha. Thanks for the help! -C
