Using GNOME CVS and Bugzilla?
by Christian Rose 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

I'd like to ask a question (or rather two): * Are there any plans on using GNOME CVS and GNOME Bugzilla for Inkscape development? Since I've already searched the website and the archives for answers, but didn't really find them, I'd also like to also ask: * Would you be interested in using GNOME CVS and GNOME Bugzilla for Inkscape development? Remember, using either one does not require that you are part of GNOME Core in any way, or that you are required to have any dependencies more than what are already in Inkscape at the moment. To be precise, this is what is required for a piece of software to be in GNOME CVS: http://live.gnome.org/NewCVSModules Notice the lack of "you must use gnome-print", "we will dictate what you should use", "you cannot interoperate with any other platform", "using cvs.gnome.org means you have to eat babies", and so on. ;-) So why would I suggest that Inkscape be using cvs.gnome.org and bugzilla.gnome.org? Well, doing so would make it much more easy for GNOME contributors to contribute to Inkscape (when given permission of course), and obviously also the other way around. I come from a translation perspective, and cross-software contributions are especially important for translation. The GNOME Translation Project (GTP) has more than 115 language teams and many hundreds of translators translating into those languages. We're usually quite successful, and many applications that are placed in GNOME CVS get completely new translations within only a few days. Also, since the translation teams in the GTP cover all of GNOME, the translations are often very consistent in terms of terminology etc. So not only is (at least most of) the software HIG-compliant, it's also consistent in translated terminology. But in order to do that, GNOME translators must have easy access to the software to translate. The reason it currently works is because all translation teams have access to cvs.gnome.org, and so they can translate not only all of GNOME Core, but all other software that's inside GNOME CVS, like Gimp, Dia, Gnumeric, Sodipodi, and so on. What the GNOME translators cannot easily do is translate applications that for some reason are hosted outside of GNOME CVS, like Inkscape. In order to solve that problem, Inkscape would have to be in GNOME CVS. So being in cvs.gnome.org would really be a boost in terms of translations (and probably also other contribution-related areas as well). I'm confident that you'd see quite a lot of improvement in the area of translations just moments after a migration. I hope that it comes without saying that if you should decide that you want to host Inkscape on cvs.gnome.org, I will personally help as much as I can with the migration process. So what are your comments? Ideas? Questions? Flames? (On second thought, please avoid flames ;-) Please cc: me on replies, as I'm not subscribed to the list. Thanks for your consideration, Christian

Loosing current layer
by Ted Gould 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

Okay, Getting stuck in DFW because of weather was frustrating, but it meant that I got Inkscape stuff done :) I've got it so that I new window does not pop up for script based effects. But, you loose the current layer (and a warning prints on the console). Not good. I think what I want to do is be able to find every window that references a particular document, and figure out what their current layer is. I couldn't figure out a way to do that. It looks like the list I want is in the Inkscape::Application, but I can only get that through a private variable in SPView (or Desktop). Am I missing something on how this should work? --Ted

What are your development tools?
by Felix Rabe 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

Hi everybody, As I have some time until July for "doing nothing" a few hours a day ;) , I'd like to volunteer for doing something, ie. Inkscape things. I'm learning C++ currently (Stroustrup's book). I use Ubuntu Linux on i386 and did quite some programming using Python and PyGTK in the last few months. What is needed / do you use aside from cvs, g++ and a text editor? (And what text editor, as I used Emacs, tried Vim, and use gedit currently. No flamewars please, I'm glad there are so few of them here :o) , just "I use editor foo (because ...)".) Do you use Valgrind, any test suites, gdb / ddd ... ? Where do I start to learn how to use them? Also, do you recommend some literature / books, as I did not (and most probably will not) study computer science? (I have a "Design Patterns", Gamma et al, here.) I have a small budget for good material. I also wonder about more exotic things - do you print out code you wrote for review (my printer doesn't work atm), do sports, drink coffee (I'm not going to do that, just wondering), gather regularly on Jabber - anything that might be of interest in terms of a programmer's life and how to get / remain productive. Thanks for any answers, Felix

I also call gtk_init() and Inkscape::GC::init(), but in a different thread (the main thread). All help is still welcome!

I still wouldn't have expected it to reach the point where it seemingly did, but I still don't have much information to go on. Could you give me a full backtrace rather than just the topmost entry? -mental

Inkscape .42 About Screen Contest
by Joshua A. Andler 03 Jun '05

03 Jun '05

Hey all! Since we will be releasing a new version of Inkscape in the near future, we need to have a new about screen done. So... we will now have our second official contest for the Inkscapers on DeviantART. If you are not currently a DeviantArt member and are interested, please use the link below to sign up to be able to show us what you can do. Basics: *Our goal is to show off what inkscape can do in a somewhat artistic manner with the intent of giving credit to all of the project contributors. *We also recommend using a current CVS version (nightly build) to attempt to show off some new features. Nightly builds can be obtained from our downloads page (link is below) under the "Development Versions" section. *Upload your submission to your gallery or scraps on DeviantART and post a link and description at the link below. Rules: *The canvas dimensions must be 750x625 px / 600x500 pt (your image can bleed outside of the canvas, but anything outside of the canvas border will not be rendered) *It must be made in Inkscape only with no post processing as we will require the SVG file to use for the about screen *It must load relatively fast since it will be rendered in real-time when someone views the about screen *It must include the full list of Authors from the link above (flowtext would be recommended) *It must include the version number (.42) *It must not contain anything offensive *Have fun! Deadline: *June 21st, 2005 Prize: *Having your art be the About screen for the new version and a credit for your work. Judging: *Preliminary judging will be done by the Inkscape community on DeviantART, when we have an official "Top 3", the judging will then be turned over to the inkscape developers for final judging. Please note that once it is turned over to the developers, once they have chosen the winner, they may have requests for modifications. Relevant links: *Inkscape Website - http://www.inkscape.org/ *Inkscape downloads page - http://www.inkscape.org/download.php *List of Authors - http://www.scislac.com/inkscape/authors.txt *Join DeviantART - http://www.deviantart.com/join/ *Inkscape on DeviantART - http://inkscape.deviantart.com/ *Inkscape Community on DeviantART - http://inkscapers.deviantart.com/ *Submissions - http://inkscapers.deviantart.com/journal/5542352/ -Josh
