Boolean Operation LPE Question
by Miguel Lopez 06 Feb '18

06 Feb '18

Hi everybody on the mailing list, I have noticed on a inkscape development build that there doesn't seem to be a easy way to use boolean operation LPE. Copy and pasting, and pressing the button doesn't seem to work. Right now, I don't believe this is a bug as I'm thinking that it's a work in progress and thus no need to treat it as a bug, but I could be wrong. Is this a work in progress? Thanks, Miguel Lopez.

numpy: include, give warning or ...?
by Maren Hachmann 05 Feb '18

05 Feb '18

Hi there, the .deb packages for Ubuntu do not seem to include a dependency for numpy, but the gcodetools depend on it. It's included in the snap, and also seems to be present for Windows and macOS versions. Some other extensions give warnings when it's missing (measure, perspective, dxf_outline,...) So, my question is: Should the gcodetools also just output a warning message with install instructions, like the other extensions do, because there's a reason why numpy cannot be made a dependency? Or could numpy be made a dependency? (I guess that's more a question to packagers - do we make any recommendations anywhere? Or do they need to figure it all out by themselves?) Maren

credentials repo moved to new location
by Bryce Harrington 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

Just a quick note that the credentials repository has been moved, as discussed last board meeting. When we switched from bzr to git, the credentials repository was moved over as a branch of the inkscape codebase. Apart from being awkward it also made it very slow to download (since it was downloading the entirety of the inkscape code history, only to replace all the code with the credentials stuff...) Anyway, I exported the git history and imported it as a new project, which will live here in its new permanent location: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/infra/credentials I've also made this private to logged in Inkscape project team members only. No one outside our project should really need this so I think that is appropriate. Let me know if you run into problems, and I can adjust permissions and things to improve convenience. (You'll also notice I'm putting project internal service-ish stuff like this into a subcategory 'infra'. As we go through updating mailing lists, wiki, forums and other such things we can use this to collect random bits and pieces like service configs here.) Bryce

Sticker drama
by C R 25 Jan '18

25 Jan '18

Okay, so I made the mistake of paying a sticker printing company before I got a proof. I did this because usually printers are trustworthy enough to A) give a good proof, B) Accept changes needed, or C) refund if they can't (or in this case, just won't) do what you want). I'm sorry to say that discountsticekrprinting.co.uk can't handle any of these things. So I've learned a valuable lesson - never pay before proof. Since I can't seem to get my money back from them due to their customer-hostile purchase agreement, I'm going to have to get substantially larger stickers from them to compensate for their incompetence. - Something that will not look silly with a 3mm gap shoe-horned into the space around the graphic on the sticker. My questions are these: 1. How big would you like to see? 2. How big is useful or tolerable? :) 3. How big is "way too big" The choices are: 60mm, 80mm, 100mm Part of me wants to go like HUGE (100mm), because maybe we could sell them for a few bucks each to recoup sticker costs - maybe people would like to slap one on a CPU case or a skateboard or bumper of a car or something. I'm going with some other company for the 40mm silver stickers, since they look absolutely silly with an enforced 3mm gap around the edge - None of the other companies I've gotten quotes from are willing to inflict that nonsense on their customers. Any thoughts? Thanks. -C
