inkscape-shadow.README installed as executable
by Wolfram Quester 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

Hi, while preparing the package of 0.42pre1 for debian lintian was not happy: W: inkscape: executable-not-elf-or-script ./usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkscape-shadow.README This file gets the x-bit during installation since in share/extensions/Makefile it is listed as extension. Perhaps "otherstuff" would be a more appropriate place for it? Or better yet, shouldn't these READMEs be installed in the documentation directory, that is /usr/share/doc/inkscape? With best wishes, Wolfi

Inkscape build test system + current results
by Bryce Harrington 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

A couple weeks ago, Kees and I set up an automated test harness for Inkscape. It's been running smoothly and collecting test results. Currently, the harness simply retrieves the nightly snapshots and builds them, logging compilation or installation problems. Anyway, I notice it's found a few warnings: ### BUILD ### Making all in src display/canvas-arena.cpp: In function `void sp_canvas_arena_class_init(SPCanvasArenaClass*)': display/canvas-arena.cpp:91: warning: invalid access to non-static data member `SPCanvasArenaClass::arena_event' of NULL object display/canvas-arena.cpp:91: warning: (perhaps the `offsetof' macro was used incorrectly) display/sp-canvas.cpp: In function `void sp_canvas_item_class_init(SPCanvasItemClass*)': display/sp-canvas.cpp:112: warning: invalid access to non-static data member `SPCanvasItemClass::event' of NULL object display/sp-canvas.cpp:112: warning: (perhaps the `offsetof' macro was used incorrectly) libnrtype/Layout-TNG-Output.cpp: In function `const char* Inkscape::Text::weight_to_text(PangoWeight)': libnrtype/Layout-TNG-Output.cpp:226: warning: enumeration value `PANGO_WEIGHT_SEMIBOLD' not handled in switch livarot/float-line.cpp: In member function `void FloatLigne::Affiche()': livarot/float-line.cpp:518: warning: long unsigned int format, size_t arg (arg 2) livarot/float-line.cpp:524: warning: long unsigned int format, size_t arg (arg 2) Making all in po am.po: parsing error for `<defs>': #: ../src/main.cpp:326 msgid "Remove unused definitions from the <defs> section(s) of the document" msgstr "" (repeated for each language) WARNING: Bad markup found in translations.

New Inkscape Tutorial Article
by Jon Phillips 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/56/Inkscape_Vector_Graphics.pdf I also added a link on the wiki: http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ArticlesAndPresentations It is in Issue 56: July 2005 of Linux Magazine. It is a nice little article covering how to draw with Inkscape. The PDF above has the whole article! I also noted in my daily scan of the linux magazines that the PR we send out for OCAL and Inkscape makes it into most of the magazines now, if only a little blurb...soooo....great!

Blogs for Inkscape contributers (mainly SoC)
by Jonathan Leighton 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

Hi everyone, I am going to be setting up WordPress blogs for those who would like one, in response to the request for them for SoC people. Any Inkscape contributer is eligible for a blog, and you are very much encouraged to write one : ). I am going to set them up on the default "Kubrick" template, but if you want to customise yours you are free to do so. I will help people out with admin issues... but if such issues are created by you writing a template, adding plugins, etc. I won't be able to help (sorry, but I don't have time). Details I need are: 1) Name 2) E-mail address 3) A 'title' for your blog When it is set up I will email you details so that you can log into your account and begin blogging. You will be the administrator and responsible for doing any configuration that you need/want (don't worry there's nothing hard). However, as I say, I am willing to help with problems so long as said problems are not the result of plugins or themes you've added. Jon -- Jonathan Leighton aka.

ANN: SVG_RenderTest 0.1 (was Re: [Clipart] Anyone try librsvg2 on the clipart)

Okay... I think it's time to take our SVG QA up a notch. ;-) SVG_RenderTest is a new test program for doing regression testing of SVG rendering. You can download it from the Inkscape File downloads page, or directly from here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438&package_id=157… `runtest` is a bash script that takes *.svg files in the current directory and attempts to render them into png's using Inkscape, librsvg, cairo, and batik. It reports PASS or FAIL for each. )See the README for the full list of programs that this test expects to be installed.) It also performs a visual 'diff' of the rendered images using the Motiontrack software. This calculates a score showing how relatively different the images are, and also generates a PNG that visually displays the brightness difference of the files. Here is an example of the results this test generates: 1.inkscape PASS : 0 b_w_tiger_susan_park_01 1.librsvg PASS : 0 b_w_tiger_susan_park_01 1.cairo PASS : 0 b_w_tiger_susan_park_01 1.batik PASS : 0 b_w_tiger_susan_park_01 1.cairo-mdiff FAIL : 2 b_w_tiger_susan_park_01 1.inkscape-mdiff FAIL : 8 b_w_tiger_susan_park_01 1.librsvg-mdiff FAIL : 2 b_w_tiger_susan_park_01 2.inkscape PASS : 0 daggers 2.librsvg PASS : 0 daggers 2.cairo PASS : 0 daggers 2.batik PASS : 0 daggers 2.cairo-mdiff FAIL : 7 daggers 2.inkscape-mdiff FAIL : 8 daggers 2.librsvg-mdiff FAIL : 7 daggers 3.inkscape PASS : 0 sword_hanger 3.librsvg PASS : 0 sword_hanger 3.cairo PASS : 0 sword_hanger 3.batik PASS : 0 sword_hanger 3.cairo-mdiff FAIL : 1 sword_hanger 3.inkscape-mdiff FAIL : 8 sword_hanger 3.librsvg-mdiff FAIL : 1 sword_hanger The numbers in the third column are either the exit code or, in the case of mdiff, a score that shows the relative difference between batik's output and the output from the given program. The higher the score, the worse the difference. You can see examples of the visual diffs here: http://www.inkscape.org/svg_rendertest_example/ The motivations for this test are to help: 1. Regression testing of known bad SVG's (i.e. for Inkscape QA) 2. Compliance testing of Inkscape against the W3C test suite 3. SVG compatibility testing between different SVG rendering engines 4. Testing of the Open Clip Art Library images (ob OCAL thread) This first release works well enough on my machine, but certainly leaves plenty of room for improvement. ;-) Please send me patches if you have ideas for improvements or spot bugs. Enjoy, Bryce

unlocalizable entries

Hi, It seems that in the current CVS version, a lot of strings in the Transformation dialog are unlocalizable (all of them except the 5 tab titles and the button text).

Nightly build service
by Mike Hearn 10 Jul '05

10 Jul '05

Hi, I'm in the process of moving my stuff to a new server and the nightly build service has been down for a while. I only have network access sporadically right now, and so I can't really maintain the nightly builds. Aaron Spike has taken over building the release autopackages: Aaron, would you be willing to do the nightly builds too? I can give you an account on my new server if you can do the work, I just don't have time anymore to fix it when the build breaks. Alternatively, as autopackages can be built by anybody, if somebody else wants to take up the reigns please do let me know. thanks -mike
