2020-10-04 09-07-50 PDT Mc ah sorry it's more for non-EU 2020-10-04 08-59-39 PDT Mc oh ? 2020-10-04 09-18-09 PDT Mc mostly "whatever I want" 2020-10-04 09-01-16 PDT Mc (if you want, of course) 2020-06-17 10-23-00 PDT Mc 20 and 21 are a weekend so they don't even count, for me ^^ 3 days is fine imo 2020-10-04 09-26-30 PDT Mc communist in the sens of "putting their work into making a «Common» of the result" 2020-06-17 10-17-17 PDT Mc Don't worry, planning is not the forte of french universities either :D 2020-06-17 10-23-40 PDT Mc (as I wrote, it's important to have other mentors agree too, especially Thomas) 2020-10-04 08-51-52 PDT Mc in France I think it would probably be doable, provided you would have ideas on what are the differences between inkscape and the state of the art, and maybe how to improve on the state of the art 2020-05-31 07-18-49 PDT Mc Hi! 2020-10-04 09-25-21 PDT Mc it's a bunch of communist-minded computer scientists trying to change the world at their level 2020-10-04 09-33-54 PDT Mc neat 2020-10-04 09-34-10 PDT Mc in which area ? 2020-10-04 09-31-15 PDT Mc :/ 2020-05-31 08-39-48 PDT Mc ah, sorry to hear that 2020-10-04 08-54-55 PDT Mc (or a book about geometry, maybe) 2020-10-04 09-01-30 PDT Mc (if you're more interested into robotics than in geometry, I can understand that :D ) 2020-10-04 09-14-18 PDT Mc (from https://www.topuniversities.com/student-info/student-finance/how-much-does-… "Tuition fees for “non-consecutive” master’s degrees, for those who have gained their bachelor’s degree elsewhere in the world, vary between universities and may be around €20,000 (~US$24,400) per year at public institutions") 2020-10-04 09-09-57 PDT Mc that's a new law from last year that introduced this price difference (3770€/yr), the law was heavily criticized (basically as an anti-african law as many courses are in french and most non-EU people coming were from northern africa), the law was called by the minister "welcome to france", not even ironically 2020-05-31 07-19-33 PDT Mc As we approach the end of the community bonding period, I wanted to check with you how it went for you 2020-10-04 09-11-58 PDT Mc masters in germany is ~20k€ 2020-10-04 09-16-22 PDT Mc I did TCS (parallel algoirithms) 2020-10-04 09-23-41 PDT Mc so, lots of things :D 2020-10-04 08-50-43 PDT Mc I don't know how much is asked from a MS thesis (it depends a lot on the countries) 2020-10-04 09-12-54 PDT Mc yeah 2020-05-31 08-40-00 PDT Mc hope you'll get better 2020-06-17 10-09-22 PDT Mc (if you prefer to have everyone, you can write to all, whatever you are more comfortable with) 2020-10-04 08-56-07 PDT Mc ideally the people most apt to tell you what the state of the art is would be people doing research on geometric algorithms ^^ 2020-10-04 08-59-12 PDT Mc well, that makes sense :D 2020-10-04 09-41-04 PDT Mc not sure I'll have the time, but you can try to @ me 2020-10-11 11-53-49 PDT Mc ok :) 2020-10-04 08-56-57 PDT Mc maybe I can find some at my uni or at a friend's uni 2020-10-04 09-30-33 PDT Mc (btw, I saw that you attempted to join the dev meeting, did you have problems to join ?) 2020-05-09 14-19-04 PDT Mc Yes, that sounds good :) 2020-10-04 09-39-29 PDT Mc (oh, btw, was anything still needed to merge the documentation of your gsoc ?) 2020-10-04 09-29-47 PDT Mc what's even more amazing is how people sometimes manage work together to collaborate productively into doing so (not everyone doing their stuff by themselves) 2020-06-17 10-24-30 PDT Mc group chat is fine 2020-10-04 09-07-09 PDT Mc (for master) 2020-10-04 09-37-28 PDT Mc sounds like a great project anyway :) 2020-10-04 09-38-41 PDT Mc you never know :) 2020-10-04 09-20-38 PDT Mc I'm employed in a public uni as a research engineer, which means I spend some of my time doing sysadmin stuff (installing and maintaining sdervices and machines for researchers, maintain a visioconference server (the one we used for inkscape/gsoc) ), giving lectures (I did one about hadoop last year), but also have free time to work on e.g. Inkscape, and can work on research projects with a big data research team; and I got funded to make a MOOC on edX about "Contributing to free software" 2020-10-04 09-00-51 PDT Mc and you cannot switch ? or is that a completely different cursus ? 2020-08-08 05-55-30 PDT Mc he should 2020-10-04 09-07-25 PDT Mc https://www.campusfrance.org/en/tuition-fees-France 2020-10-04 09-15-58 PDT Mc It would not surprise me if it was free in some landers and paying in others 2020-10-04 09-14-58 PDT Mc I don't know much about the german system 2020-07-31 23-29-50 PDT Mc * the ability to very quickly speak to almost any other open source project, and to my friends, within one program that just requires a terminal open * not hidden in a browser tab (I have ~4000 open browsers tabs) which just work to speak to Inkscape only and can play noise or notifications * much, much faster to read on any IRC client than on rocket chat (I can read ~ 50 lines on one window of IRC vs 10 lines on a Rocketchat window + I can go back on my history with 0 loading time and no weird scroller) 2020-10-04 09-36-01 PDT Mc the Deepak Agrawal one ? 2020-08-08 05-53-23 PDT Mc yes, I called him yesterday 2020-06-17 10-17-52 PDT Mc IMO one week is fine, but this will need to be agreed with the other mentors 2020-06-17 10-18-23 PDT Mc (it's 10% of the whole gsoc, after all^^) 2020-10-04 08-54-07 PDT Mc arxiv ? 2020-06-17 10-08-58 PDT Mc you can discuss it with me if you want 2020-10-04 09-06-56 PDT Mc 243€ / year + some additional fees 2020-10-04 08-50-16 PDT Mc mmh 2020-10-04 09-00-22 PDT Moazin Pick* 2020-10-04 09-35-26 PDT Moazin I'll be helping them write the software for it. 2020-10-04 07-03-24 PDT Moazin Do you think there is a possibility for an MS Thesis on the topic? Building on the work and improving it? 2020-10-04 09-17-44 PDT Moazin Great! :-) And what's your area of work these days? 2020-10-04 09-31-01 PDT Moazin I had a really lame internet connection 2020-10-04 09-02-13 PDT Moazin Specially those that run embedded Linux 2020-07-31 07-39-11 PDT Moazin Mc I had a question. It's not really important, just curious. 😃 What are the advantages to using IRC over RocketChat? I mean what makes you prefer it 2020-10-04 09-12-35 PDT Moazin Are you talking just about the tuition fee? 2020-10-04 09-00-19 PDT Moazin Yep. I graduated in Electrical Engineering. At that time I thought it was the best choice for me as I was confused about which area to oick. 2020-10-04 09-37-18 PDT Moazin It's a different one, not much info on the internet 2020-10-04 09-01-38 PDT Moazin Haha 2020-10-04 09-01-20 PDT Moazin With a few bridge courses, one should be able to switch 2020-10-04 09-35-08 PDT Moazin Some of my friends started with a design and got it to the prototyping phase. 2020-05-31 07-43-28 PDT Moazin Hi Marc. I sorry that due to some gastrointestinal health issues I have been very disturbed in the past few weeks and couldn't do all the things that I planned to do within this period. I did spend some time in chat helping out few people which I very much enjoyed. I got checked recently and am recovering well. Hoping to cover up for those things as well as get started on the project. 2020-10-04 09-01-50 PDT Moazin At the moment, I'm really interested in embedded systems 2020-10-04 09-30-06 PDT Moazin yep definitely 2020-05-09 13-58-37 PDT Moazin Hi Marc. I wanted to start discussing a few things regarding what I plan to do during the community bonding period and the direction of the project. I was thinking of discussing it over email with all the mentors in CC. Does that sound good? 2020-10-04 09-34-47 PDT Moazin So when the pandemic happened, the country's higher leadership decided to ask the research and engineering students to build a ventilator device. 2020-10-04 08-59-32 PDT Moazin One big problem is that I'm not a CS graduate 2020-10-04 07-03-39 PDT Moazin You're also working in a university so I thought you'd have a better idea on this 2020-10-04 09-35-51 PDT Moazin Both the UI and the controller that'd run it 2020-10-04 09-12-27 PDT Moazin I'll explore more and if I'm sure the CG area is a good option for me, I'll probably ask you to find me people from academia that know the area well, but before that, I'd do my research first :-) 2020-10-04 09-01-57 PDT Moazin Programming small chips 2020-10-04 09-00-50 PDT Moazin I had interests in programming, but also in embedded systems, communication devices and robotics 2020-10-04 09-15-54 PDT Moazin No problem :-) Btw, what was your area of interest when you did your MS? 2020-10-04 09-40-32 PDT Moazin I'm still reviewing it, fixing typos, there are just a few files remaining to check. I'll do that within the week. Once that's done I'd really like it if someone can go through it for a review? 2020-06-17 10-07-09 PDT Moazin Hi Marc 2020-10-04 09-14-10 PDT Moazin https://www2.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programmes/e… 2020-10-04 09-38-00 PDT Moazin Yeah, I don't see high chances of it making into a final product, it's a RnD project and I just see it as great experience. :-) 2020-10-04 09-26-50 PDT Moazin yep, yep, got it :-) 2020-06-17 10-16-56 PDT Moazin You must be thinking what kind of a university does that, but that's the weird part of living in a country like Pakistan. They don't listen to us. 2020-06-17 10-08-08 PDT Moazin There is something I need to discuss about my GSoC project. So I was wondering if I should discuss it with you here or make a group chat with other mentors as well. (It's not a technical matter) 2020-06-17 10-14-27 PDT Moazin To update on the project, I am done with the Simplify code which was the goal for the first two weeks. In this week and the next 2 I am supposed to work on Path -> Digraph -> Path parts. 2020-10-04 09-17-49 PDT Moazin At your day job I mean 2020-10-04 09-21-57 PDT Moazin That's nice :-) 2020-06-17 10-22-05 PDT Moazin So, I was thinking of working as much as I can for the next 2-3 days with GSoC (and hopefully make good progress). And taking time off for university work from 20 to 25 June to work on the thesis. Does that sound fine to you? 2020-06-17 10-13-33 PDT Moazin So the thing is as you would probably know I am in the senior year of my university. (I was supposed to have graduated by June). Due to COVID, the university was closed and then they started some online education system too. The exams and my thesis were scheduled for later. However, suddenly they sent us an email telling that we have to submit our thesis on 24th June and deliver a presentation on 29 June. It's very hard to manage this with GSoC. I was wondering if it would be possible to do reduced work for the next few days, I'll of course make up for it. I totally understand if this is not possible, in that situation I'll have to ask the university to give me an extension in the project which will have its own downsides. 2020-10-04 09-36-41 PDT Moazin Nah :D 2020-06-17 10-24-02 PDT Moazin Of course, that's important. 2020-10-04 09-30-16 PDT Moazin and Inkscape is a place where a lot of collaboration goes on 2020-10-04 09-33-49 PDT Moazin Btw, I've got a temporary job for a few months 2020-10-04 09-31-11 PDT Moazin (third world problems) 2020-10-04 09-25-39 PDT Moazin That's a really sweet way to put it :-) 2020-08-08 05-56-19 PDT Moazin All right :-) 2020-10-04 09-33-04 PDT Moazin Sometimes during the GSoC meetings, I'd have to switch between the two during the meeting. :-D 2020-10-04 08-59-01 PDT Moazin So when listing out areas where I do have some experience, my project immediately came to my mind 2020-10-04 09-30-49 PDT Moazin Yep I did 2020-10-04 09-24-42 PDT Moazin (My dad doesn't have a CS background, but I've explained him what OSS is :P) 2020-10-04 09-32-42 PDT Moazin But often times both will betray me 2020-10-04 09-06-44 PDT Moazin Most institutes have very less/no fee 2020-10-11 11-32-18 PDT Moazin Hey Marc, you often encourage me to talk in the meetings and I really feel great about that. I'm totally comfortable in doing so, the reason is technical. You might have noticed me mention that my headset broke in the final GSoC meeting. I ordered new ones and they are stuck in transit for over a month. I'm living with 6 other people in one two connected rooms so very noisy and laptop's battery is crap now so can't take it outside. I am using borrowed terrible quality IEMs whose audio input just sucks (so a bad idea to join with audio). Might try joining from phone next time. BBB is great on phone. 2020-06-17 10-24-21 PDT Moazin Should we start a group chat? Or would you prefer discussing this with them by yourself? 2020-10-04 09-18-21 PDT Moazin wow! You've landed a dream job 2020-06-17 10-19-51 PDT Moazin Yes, of course. 2020-10-04 09-08-02 PDT Moazin Yea I am non-EU :P 2020-10-04 09-07-36 PDT Moazin Yea that's more or less the same as Germany I guess 2020-10-04 09-32-32 PDT Moazin Internet is very unstable where I live. I keep a 3G connection on phone as a backup and a DSL is the primary WiFi for home. 2020-10-04 09-28-27 PDT Moazin It's a huge effort, I'm amazed at how volunteer work can create and develop something as great as Inkscape. 2020-07-31 23-58-16 PDT Moazin Thanks for answering btw. Makes a lot of sense 2020-10-04 07-02-56 PDT Moazin Mc, there is something I wanted to discuss with you 2020-10-04 09-39-21 PDT Moazin Yea. 2020-10-04 09-41-13 PDT Moazin Yep sure 2020-07-31 23-57-36 PDT Moazin 4000 open tabs! Woah. How much RAM needed to support that? 2020-08-08 05-53-49 PDT Moazin I was worried 2020-10-04 09-10-34 PDT Moazin Oh I see 2020-10-04 09-06-24 PDT Moazin How's the situation of graduate studies in France btw? They're really cheap in Germany 2020-10-04 09-24-01 PDT Moazin It actually surprises me how developers in the Inkscape community take so much time out to work on it, specially when day jobs and when you're not getting paid for it. Whenever I discuss my project and Inkscape with my dad, he often brings up this question, how are they all working for free? What do they get in return? :D I do understand that it feels great to contribute to software that you like, for sure. But still, taking so much time out is a huge commitment 2020-10-04 09-41-04 PDT Moazin Thanks for all the info btw :-) 2020-08-08 05-54-28 PDT Moazin Will he be joining us today for the presentation? 2020-10-04 08-57-11 PDT Moazin That'd would be really great 2020-10-04 09-01-03 PDT Moazin I can switch I think. A lot of people do. 2020-10-04 07-03-02 PDT Moazin You know my livarot project well 2020-10-04 09-03-56 PDT Moazin In order to be able to do research in the area of CG, I'd need to get good background in it first 2020-10-04 08-53-35 PDT Moazin Where can I find the state of the art? Cgal? 2020-10-04 08-56-41 PDT Moazin Got it. Thanks :-) 2020-10-04 08-57-33 PDT Moazin I'm actually preparing for MS applications and I'm exploring potential research interests for myself 2020-08-08 01-48-20 PDT Moazin Have you heard from Link Mauve recently?

2020-07-16 13-33-28 PDT Orestas Hey, so I have a question. I was working on a project and all of a sudden an error occurred and Inkscape shut down, and I didn't have time to save it but it did say it was saved on the alert. The problem is i quickly turned it off and didn't see where it was saved and i need your help to tell me where it saved. I'd really appreciate your help.

2020-02-12 18-16-36 PST anonym_i_ous https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_devel?msg=KNZBcPcj4ZQ7RtoXf (i am just sending the message so that i dont forget it, but rn, *please just ignore* the message, i will come back to it after doing some more research, and then will ask u again) where can i study which licence to use, or which one maybe suited to me..... i have tried searching online, but the articles are mostly for user side, and not the creator side.... next method to understand will be to read the whole of license .... and i tried that too and it flies off my mind (or i shall get all the suitable licences, get a print of them, and then read, hopefully with grasp more)...... so, u wanna suggest anything like where to read about them, how to compare different licences, or which part of the licence is related to the creators rights and the right of forks/copying/derivation etc..... btw i am talking for software licences....

2020-03-02 04-39-16 PST Sergei Izmailov I'm not chrome user either. I picked it as most popular one. There should be no problem to do same for firefox. Now it's for everything it finds links to. 2020-03-02 02-32-50 PST Sergei Izmailov Sorry for direct messaging. Unfortunately my announce got little/no attention in devel chat. Probably it was not suitable channel. Here is the idea. The extension finds links to commits and adds direct link to corresponding AppImage artifact (if any). Fairly straightforward, but took me a while to figure out how to deal with it. I plan to do same for Mac and Windows bundles and finally publish the extension in store. It works now but it is still too raw to advertise to use it in a daily basis. It would be nice to get some feedback from potential users ahead of time. Can you help with it? 2020-03-02 15-12-27 PST Sergei Izmailov Yeah, there are options here. I'll consult with Martin and Patric when time comes 2019-05-29 13-23-29 PDT Sergei Izmailov Hi, here is email: sergei.a.izmailov(a)gmail.com and username: sizmailov 2019-05-29 13-40-24 PDT Sergei Izmailov The most difficult part in English is *correct* English. 2019-05-29 13-32-38 PDT Sergei Izmailov Ok, great) 2020-03-02 04-39-05 PST Sergei Izmailov AppImage links (https://chat.inkscape.org/file-upload/F3rsGK8BJtAoz5NjY/AppImage%20links) 2019-05-29 13-28-38 PDT Sergei Izmailov Do you know ETA for 1.0 release? 2020-03-02 04-42-49 PST Sergei Izmailov It's matter of few API calls from web page. 2020-03-02 04-44-32 PST Sergei Izmailov I didn't experience 404 error so far. May be due to poor testing.. 2019-05-29 13-38-53 PDT Sergei Izmailov Nowadays all programming and science done in English. Basically we don't have a choice. 2019-05-29 13-34-07 PDT Sergei Izmailov I do 2020-03-02 04-50-08 PST Sergei Izmailov Can we host a page ourself? 2020-03-02 04-40-47 PST Sergei Izmailov The only Gitlab API problem I faced is the requirement for token with ultimate rights to read PUBLIC information. Now I'm using empty gitlab user token to do the trick. 2019-05-29 13-23-59 PDT Sergei Izmailov Ok, thanks! 2019-05-29 13-36-58 PDT Sergei Izmailov I'm native russian, so for me it's not difficult at all) 2020-03-02 04-53-15 PST Sergei Izmailov Ok. It's better to know the problem to solve first :) 2020-03-02 04-42-29 PST Sergei Izmailov If you want to provide links on web page there should be no obstacles either 2020-03-02 04-53-19 PST Sergei Izmailov Thanks for input 2020-03-02 04-48-35 PST Sergei Izmailov WRT missing artifact. Last commit didn't run applimage:linux job 2020-04-26 01-39-26 PDT Sergei Izmailov Thanks for personal invite but I don't feel of myself as a literate person or one who can write motivating letters (I had nasty experience before ;) Nevertheless I partially filled forms, hope it helps 2020-03-02 15-08-29 PST Sergei Izmailov Win & MacOS already serve most recent links, I'll take a look at it and propose a MR for AppImage. Hopefully I'll be able to do it next week 2020-03-02 13-17-21 PST Sergei Izmailov This kind of indirection requires something that can issue several API quires in a row 2020-03-02 13-16-18 PST Sergei Izmailov You are right, `https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/jobs/artifacts/master/download?job=appimage%3Alinux` leads to 404 At the same time `https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/jobs/456464633/artifacts/raw/Inkscape-2a7dc7f-x86_64.AppImage` works just fine. I don't know whether it's a gitlab bug or not. Of course latter is more cumbersome as it requires one to know job id and commit hash (as it's part of downloadable file) 2019-05-29 13-30-49 PDT Sergei Izmailov I see. I'm not really 100% confident in my english skill. May I ask someone to double check my wiki edits? 2020-03-02 04-45-24 PST Sergei Izmailov But the main purpose of browser extension is to help reviewers/testers 2019-05-29 13-35-30 PDT Sergei Izmailov :smiley: 2019-05-29 13-41-47 PDT Sergei Izmailov I don't use VPN at home. Things are not that bad as it could be. 2019-05-29 13-43-46 PDT Sergei Izmailov Have a good day. I enjoyed the conversation. ) 2020-03-02 02-26-41 PST Sergei Izmailov Hi, I'm unfamiliar with reporters workflow, but I think a chrome extension can ease it a bit. https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_devel?msg=M7M3ci4dzzyhYn8kP () 2020-03-02 04-48-19 PST Sergei Izmailov It's still 5 clicks instead of 1... 2020-03-02 04-45-50 PST Sergei Izmailov (I think their time is most valuable) 2019-05-29 13-27-53 PDT Sergei Izmailov Done. Many thanks! 2020-03-02 04-46-24 PST Sergei Izmailov Which repo is it? 2020-03-02 04-41-26 PST Moini And they don't understand how that could be an issue... 2020-03-02 04-50-16 PST Moini Another option would be to make a GitLab MR with your suggestion. 2019-05-29 13-42-23 PDT Moini That's good! It's also difficult for us, because of the script/language barrier, to know how things are. 2019-05-29 13-37-46 PDT Moini (I meant the English for you) 2019-05-29 13-29-31 PDT Moini So, nothing concrete. 2020-03-02 04-50-41 PST Moini We already have a server that can run small scripts and provide links. 2019-05-29 13-29-24 PDT Moini (last time Bryce said something about it) 2020-03-02 15-10-50 PST Moini Best ask Martin and Patrick about how to best make it so it can be available on the website. 2019-05-29 13-34-18 PDT Moini Dobroy vecher :) 2019-05-29 13-32-00 PDT Moini It's just important that the info is available, and you as the person who wrote it know best what the change is doing. 2020-03-02 04-53-53 PST Moini Thanks for your dedication, it's good that you're helping us here! 2020-03-02 04-47-02 PST Moini Testers know where to find artifacts, I think. 2020-03-02 04-43-22 PST Moini And if the build failed, to the latest one that succeeded. 2019-05-29 13-35-28 PDT Moini I can still read it, though. Just don't understand what I read :joy: 2019-05-29 13-28-23 PDT Moini Thank *you* for contributing to Inkscape, Sergei! 2020-03-02 15-10-03 PST Moini (sometimes, people need to click through several pages of the jobs page, that's quite a bit time-consuming) 2019-05-29 13-23-51 PDT Moini I'll set up a Wiki account for you... Wait a minute. 2020-03-02 04-32-55 PST Moini Interesting idea - I'm not using Chrome though. If you want to find testers, try the forum or the user mailing list. Which version do you think is the most important one to test? If this is mainly for most recent master / most recent 1.0.x, and not for bug triage (I think those people know where they are supposed to find downloadable files, esp. on Linux, and bug fixers will link to the correct packages directly when they ask someone to test their new feature/fix), I know of another place where this would be more important. This is the official download page on the website. We do have direct links to the latest macOS and Windows builds - however, there is a GitLab bug blocking us from being able to provide a reliable link for Linux AppImages. It's probably possible to automate the instructions that we currently have on the website for that case. 2020-03-02 15-12-48 PST Moini Thanks, that would be cool! 2019-05-29 14-09-38 PDT Moini Early september: release ! 2020-03-02 04-47-20 PST Moini Either someone links to it for them, or they already know their way around. 2020-03-02 04-45-46 PST Moini Currently, the link is missing entirely... https://imgur.com/CdU61P0.png 2019-05-29 13-41-02 PDT Moini As long as it's understandable, you don't need to worry about Inkscapers. 2019-05-29 13-37-57 PDT Moini (but I guess you got that) 2019-05-29 13-33-59 PDT Moini You speak Russian? 2019-05-29 13-31-04 PDT Moini Yes, of course. 2020-04-25 14-58-52 PDT Moini Hi Sergei! I think you've contributed quite a lot of smart things to the 1.0 release (at least I rarely understood anything ;-) ). If you're up for it, we are currently doing this contributor interview at https://framaforms.org/inkscape-contributor-interview-1587833730 - I think it would be interesting to hear from you, too! 2020-03-02 04-46-06 PST Moini Oops. 2019-05-29 13-41-25 PDT Moini Except China. 2019-05-29 13-32-15 PDT Moini So, don't worry about that. 2020-03-02 04-48-53 PST Moini It should still be in the 'previous' list... 2019-05-29 13-34-41 PDT Moini (I don't remember much from my Russian course, it's long ago ) 2019-05-29 13-39-40 PDT Moini Probably an additional barrier. 2020-03-02 04-46-36 PST Moini https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/tree/master/ 2020-03-02 15-11-36 PST Moini I don't know which way to put this online would be preferred. 2020-03-02 04-47-42 PST Moini It's the casual beta testers who cannot find things. 2020-03-02 04-49-34 PST Moini Or at least there should be an easy way to provide it directly from the website, where people come to download things. 2020-03-02 15-09-12 PST Moini It's not urgent, this issue exists for quite some time. But it would really be nice to have a solution for it :D 2019-05-29 14-09-15 PDT Moini Just got to reading my emails. Marc provided an updated roadmap for the release there: - As soon as possible: 1.0~alpha2 - Between mid-june and end of june (when toolbar and immediately noticeable bugs are fixed): 1.0~beta - End of June: Feature freeze and 1.0 branch - End of July: String freeze - Between mid-june and mid-august: bug hunt! 2019-05-29 13-42-54 PDT Moini Anyway, have a great evening, Sergei! 2019-05-29 14-09-53 PDT Moini (on the developer's mailing list) 2020-03-02 15-03-57 PST Moini The bug report is here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/45697 (and it was closed by Gitlab) 2019-05-29 13-26-00 PDT Moini Your Wiki password is now ui5ahK0Eih . Please change it as soon as possible! Wiki usernames always start with a capital letter, so use Sizmailov when trying to log in :) 2019-05-29 13-23-41 PDT Moini Thanks! 2020-03-02 04-41-12 PST Moini It often gives a 404 for the latest build artifacts. 2019-05-29 13-29-01 PDT Moini 'Sometime this summer or fall' 2019-05-29 13-39-59 PDT Moini Aside from needing VPN for some things, I guess. 2020-04-26 09-52-45 PDT Moini Yes! Thank you, Sergei! Not everyone needs to create a work of word art. If there are only people who can write great texts, who would do the good and solid programming? 2020-03-02 15-01-20 PST Moini Yes, it basically needs to do the set of instructions here: https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-master/gnulinux/appimage/dl/ - only automagically. And with a max depth, so it won't take forever ;-) 2019-05-29 13-41-34 PDT Moini And Africa. 2020-03-02 04-51-19 PST Moini Or it could be an official part of the website code, of course. 2019-05-29 13-31-27 PDT Moini (I'll be editing there a lot anyway, and we might get the help of a documentation writer with it, too) 2020-03-02 04-48-11 PST Moini They'd only be confused. 2020-03-02 04-47-53 PST Moini But they don't need all those various commits. 2019-05-29 13-37-22 PDT Moini :) 2020-03-02 04-52-44 PST Moini Need to go now - if you want to go further with this, you can talk with Martin / doctormo about implementation details. 2020-03-02 04-46-03 PST Moini Oh, I guess that was the wrong repo... 2020-03-02 15-11-21 PST Moini js, python, ... fixed link on alpha, or part of inkscape-web etc. 2019-05-29 13-39-21 PDT Moini Yes, that's true. 2020-03-02 04-51-04 PST Moini It's where inkchatbot lives, for example. 2019-05-29 13-41-16 PDT Moini They are used to people coming from everywhere. 2020-03-02 04-42-59 PST Moini It only needs one to latest master AppImage and latest 1.0.x AppImage... 2019-05-29 13-36-03 PDT Moini So I can imagine how difficult it must be. 2020-03-02 04-46-23 PST Moini No, correct...

2020-03-04 13-56-25 PST Sergei Izmailov Let's try. I've tested on 19.04 - works fine 2020-03-07 16-47-39 PST Sergei Izmailov I think we can test gtest installation via minimal cmake project and provide instructions to fix that. A minimal cmake project would contain single `CMakeLists.txt` file: ```cmake cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0) project(temp) find_package(GTest REQUIRED MODULE) ``` 2020-03-07 06-44-00 PST Sergei Izmailov Hi, did you have a chance to look at docker MR? 2020-03-30 15-31-36 PDT Sergei Izmailov In fact it's about same size, see screenshot above 2020-03-04 13-33-48 PST Sergei Izmailov Or you think moving gtest to minimal is better? 2020-03-26 09-30-29 PDT Sergei Izmailov ok, I'll rebase in a minute 2020-03-27 07-31-33 PDT Sergei Izmailov Do you know is `lib/libinkscape_base.dll.a` shared or static? The line ``` [984/1057] Linking CXX shared library bin\libinkscape_base.dll ``` suggests it's shared, but name and location are different. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to test on windows at the moment. I don't see how `2geom` got included in `libinkscape_base`. I'll try to investigate this topic in more detail later (maybe in a week or so). I could experiment with AppVeyor, but it's too long and makes others wait a lot. Currently it doesn't compile even without extra OBJECT/STATIC/SHARED test library. Please share your ideas if you have some 2020-03-19 15-00-14 PDT Sergei Izmailov It depends in which mode you build 2geom. 2020-03-07 16-50-47 PST Sergei Izmailov I don't like false-positive warnings. We can limit it to ubuntu 18.04 only 2020-03-19 14-58-05 PDT Sergei Izmailov No problem, take your time. Just checking. 2020-03-04 07-32-57 PST Sergei Izmailov Hi! Can you give a comment on https://gitlab.com/inkscape/lib2geom/-/merge_requests/19 ? (if you prefer we can discuss it here or there) 2020-03-04 08-22-54 PST Sergei Izmailov I appreciate that this change is not urgent and can be delayed to post 1.0 (I remember you said that, probably it was in chat, can't find it in MRs). I think you are reasonable person and your suggestions has ho have something behind, but I don't see it clearly so far. I didn't ignore you questions (at least intentionally). Please point out/copy-paste. I didn't argue against any extra changes just because I'm lazy to address your comments. I want to find best solution of possible. You can read that I'm not 100% with my arguments and my comment leaves question open to discuss. Please don't silence conversations as it's not a productive way to solve problems (as well as over-communication). If you think that I'm wrong/lazy/not in right time, please tell so. Again, if it's just lack of time, lets hold it until 1.0 release. It's totally fine by me. 2020-03-15 04-40-18 PDT Sergei Izmailov Sorry, I misread that. 2020-03-19 15-00-34 PDT Sergei Izmailov (i guess) 2020-03-19 14-20-26 PDT Sergei Izmailov Sorry for bothering you again. Is there is any problems with https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/1410 except lack of dev time? 2020-05-07 13-54-24 PDT Sergei Izmailov I see. (To be honest I feel uneasy with windows as developer, especially when it comes as low level as like linking. I think I can utilize my time better fixing other stuff.) 2020-03-04 13-30-21 PST Sergei Izmailov Should I ask Martin to do it? 2020-05-07 13-15-55 PDT Sergei Izmailov I'm a unix person, so I don't know much about Windows stuff. All I found I wrote here. 2020-03-04 14-00-17 PST Sergei Izmailov (`googletest` soruces is dependency and will be installed automatically ) 2020-03-30 15-29-08 PDT Sergei Izmailov libinkscape_base.dll.a (https://chat.inkscape.org/file-upload/JHxjTscxfaTZuRcZ3/libinkscape_base.dl…) 2020-03-04 13-44-24 PST Sergei Izmailov I don't understand. All seems to be installed, but it's not found by cmake for some reason https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-ci-docker/-/jobs/455010902 2020-03-15 06-31-15 PDT Sergei Izmailov It's all case-specific. Some libraries act similar in both mods, some don't (like gtest). Explicit specification of MODULE/CONFIG prohibits use of another one. I think generally CONFIG is more preferable since it's mostly auto-generated and less error prone, but it requires some efforts from library authors so it's not widespread. At the moment I agree, let's keep it as is. 2020-03-07 16-49-06 PST Sergei Izmailov Should I add it to MR? 2020-03-19 15-55-24 PDT Sergei Izmailov ``` set(2GEOM_BUILD_SHARED ON CACHE BOOL "Build 2geom as SHARED library") add_subdirectory(2geom) ``` is enough to build and link against shared version of lib2geom. I've build with `-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=~/.local/` so shared library is not found with default settings, therefore `~/.local/bin/inkscape` can't be launched without `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` or `LD_PRELOAD`. 2020-03-26 09-54-16 PDT Sergei Izmailov Does windows CI run only on master branch, but not on MRs? 2020-03-19 15-01-44 PDT Sergei Izmailov I can try to build inkscape against shared lib2geom 2020-03-30 15-31-14 PDT Sergei Izmailov I'm not really familiar with "import libraries", but from what I read it should be quite small compared to shared library 2020-03-04 13-22-13 PST Sergei Izmailov I'm new to gitlab CI 2020-03-07 16-48-51 PST Sergei Izmailov Such test would add ~30 lines to `.sh` script 2020-03-15 04-22-15 PDT Sergei Izmailov Hi! I've noticed you simplified GTest handling in main repo. The `find_package` call must include `MODULE` keyword since "config" mode takes precedence over "module" mode and we are using "module" features. It will fail on systems with properly installed GTest. 2020-03-04 15-07-21 PST Sergei Izmailov There is no binaries 2020-03-04 13-31-49 PST Sergei Izmailov right? 2020-03-26 11-11-48 PDT Sergei Izmailov ... and it fails [link](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/inkscape/inkscape/builds/31745274/job…. I don't quite get it. `lib/libinkscape_base.dll.a` has defined symbols from `lib/lib2geom.a`... 2020-03-26 13-22-09 PDT Sergei Izmailov I've dropped my previous commits to `testfiles/CMakeLists.txt` and added extra `target_link_libraries` for OBJECT library you created. It worked locally, let's see how would CI go 2020-03-04 13-17-37 PST Sergei Izmailov Seems like CI doesn't have google tests. Can you help with it ? 2020-03-04 13-59-12 PST Sergei Izmailov I don't think lib2geom uses mock. I have no guesses here 2020-03-19 15-03-38 PDT Sergei Izmailov Currently I think it's ready, it's matter of one line change. I'm going to check it right now. 2020-03-04 14-07-52 PST Sergei Izmailov Thanks for testing! 2020-03-07 16-53-53 PST Sergei Izmailov I think warning should be issued at the very end of script. Otherwise it's easy to overlook it in ton of messages 2020-03-19 16-04-16 PDT Sergei Izmailov Currently MR builds STATIC library (default setting in lib2geom). 2020-03-07 16-58-43 PST Sergei Izmailov I thought about it. It's better since it's never false-positive, but I don't like the idea of fixing it in CMakeLists... 2020-03-26 07-47-44 PDT Sergei Izmailov Hi, I think you still plan to give a review to MR, right? (Thomas seems to approved it) 2020-03-30 15-32-24 PDT Sergei Izmailov nm (https://chat.inkscape.org/file-upload/ty2TRYMN2pNSnCtCg/nm) 2020-03-07 16-50-59 PST Sergei Izmailov But managing all versions seems to be tedious 2020-03-30 15-34-21 PDT Sergei Izmailov `lib2geom.a` and `lininkscape_base.dll.a` provide same global symbol 2020-03-04 13-30-05 PST Sergei Izmailov How can i update the image? 2020-03-26 13-25-55 PDT Sergei Izmailov Damn, older cmake rejects it. Sounds like a task for tomorrow. 2020-03-04 13-21-36 PST Sergei Izmailov It's already there, but needs special flag.. I'm not sure how to proceed with it 2020-03-04 12-59-15 PST Sergei Izmailov I'm sorry. Sometimes it's hard to explain myself properly. (In process of re-explaining I think I solved the googletest issue) 1. You are right, the difference between 2.8 and 3.0 styles is irrelevant here. BTW here is a good talk about modern cmake style and why we should avoid "2.8-style" https://youtu.be/bsXLMQ6WgIk. 2. The problem with `googletest`/`libgtest-dev`/`libmock-dev` packages on Ubuntu: None of them installs following files (compare to RPM: http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/devel/rawhide/aarch64/g/gtest-devel-1.8…) ``` /usr/lib64/cmake/GTest/GTestConfig.cmake /usr/lib64/cmake/GTest/GTestConfigVersion.cmake /usr/lib64/cmake/GTest/GTestTargets-noconfig.cmake /usr/lib64/cmake/GTest/GTestTargets.cmake ``` (pkg-config files are also missing but we are not interested in them now) They contain information about build targets and their flags. Without them we need to repeat this information ourself. Fortunately cmake-shipped [FindGTest](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindGTest.html) exists and does it for us. `find_package(GTest)` can find headers and libraries and resurrect all required flags (https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindGTest.html) and even define `IMPROTED` targets `GTest::GTest` and `GTest::Main`. The only issue it has it names googletest targets differently from googletest itself. But it's not a big deal, we can ignore generated cmake files (`GTestConfig.cmake`) on system where googletest installed properly. I guess some of `googletest`/`libgtest-dev`/`libmock-dev` are available on CI, right? 2020-03-04 14-07-31 PST Sergei Izmailov I would prefer to stick to simpler solution. I think I'll do tests on 18.04 on my own to see what exactly goes wrong with bare `find_package` 2020-03-04 15-45-24 PST Sergei Izmailov I've submitted a MR with extra build step for gtest 2020-05-07 07-08-52 PDT Sergei Izmailov Hi, congrats on 1.0 release! Can you find time to look at https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/1410 problem ? 2020-03-04 13-33-13 PST Sergei Izmailov I though about passing `--recommended` flag 2020-03-26 12-46-04 PDT Sergei Izmailov I've tried static/shared and ended up with no library at all. I guess your intention was to avoid recompiling of those two files... Let's see if it would work. Probably you initial approach would also work (i.e. with OBJECT library) with repeated `target_link_libraries` for OBJECT library and tests which uses it. 2020-03-04 15-07-48 PST Sergei Izmailov And it's the complaint from cmake at CI 2020-03-19 15-57-46 PDT Sergei Izmailov (I've added tests to lib2geom to build a super-project against it as installed and subdirectory library) 2020-03-07 16-51-50 PST Sergei Izmailov Currently I don't have any warnings. You suggest to add warning only to non-CI ubuntu 18.04 ? 2020-03-19 15-02-07 PDT Sergei Izmailov is it desired? 2020-05-15 08-02-22 PDT Sergei Izmailov Hi, do you know how windows build was fixed? Just curious. Don't see obvious changes to cmake files 2020-03-04 13-31-47 PST Sergei Izmailov Oh, I see the https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-ci-docker/-/blob/master/Dockerfile 2020-03-26 09-56-02 PDT Sergei Izmailov Nevermind, I see AppVeyor started the job, but it doesn't appear as build stage on gitlab. 2020-03-07 17-00-13 PST Sergei Izmailov I'll add warning to `.sh` script. Let's think about cmake warning a bit more and decide later 2020-03-19 15-56-27 PDT Sergei Izmailov I think it confirms that lib2geom can be packaged separately 2020-03-04 14-47-26 PST Sergei Izmailov Looks like `libgtest-dev` in 18.04 is really poor. Compare 18.04 and 19.04: https://packages.ubuntu.com/disco/amd64/libgtest-dev/filelist https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/libgtest-dev/filelist We are not alone with this problem: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24295876/cmake-cannot-find-googletest-r… I think I'll add instructions to build and install googletest to docker image 2020-03-04 13-59-57 PST Sergei Izmailov I think `libgtest-dev` is enough 2020-03-04 13-58-20 PST Patrick (but should still have everything needed to build) 2020-05-07 12-44-26 PDT Patrick I will, but I can't promise you when. Did you make progress on the linking issue on Windows or do we still need to solve that? 2020-03-15 05-07-58 PDT Patrick It might even be a good idea to explicitly specify module mode everywhere, but I don't think we do that anywhere yet, so it seemed safer to just keep it as-is (especially as it should not matter if the module is properly found in module mode as expected) 2020-03-19 14-59-47 PDT Patrick Maybe one question ahead of time: Do we link lib2geom dynamically in your MR? Because that certainly would be a goal going forward. 2020-03-19 14-57-26 PDT Patrick Well, I can't tell you if there are any problems before I have reviewed it (which I plan to do, eventually, but yeah I'm backlogged). 2020-03-19 15-02-09 PDT Patrick If it's reasonable... We can obviously take this in steps as well. 2020-03-04 13-32-27 PST Patrick (which is called by the Dockerfile) 2020-03-04 07-53-52 PST Patrick You seem to be ignoring my comments (everything I said so far you've not replied to at all or argued against, giving me the impression that you're not really willing to actually change anything) so I'm not overly motivated to spend any more time on that. (In fact the very first thing you ignored was my suggestion to move this to post-1.0 when people will have more time to review properly and it will be less intrusive to make larger changes to the build system). 2020-03-19 15-03-35 PDT Patrick But if we can isolate the subproject enough, it might come "for free". 2020-03-07 17-01-39 PST Patrick OK... I just would not like to add a lot of stuff to `.sh` script for a workaround for one specific version of one specific OS either, so let's keep it minimal (especially considering it might not be seen by all people) 2020-03-07 16-52-56 PST Patrick Yes, if `CI` is set, build and install cmake, otherwise print a warning that recommends to do it. 2020-03-04 13-59-33 PST Patrick So we only need gtest? 2020-03-19 15-01-13 PDT Patrick I meant with your MR against Inkscape. 2020-03-04 13-34-16 PST Patrick CI has everything 2020-03-07 16-51-02 PST Patrick Yes, I think that's exactly what you were doing in your MR? 2020-03-15 04-38-37 PDT Patrick If the MODULE option is not specfied in the above signature, CMake first searches for the package using Module mode. Then, if the package is not found, it searches again using Config mode. 2020-03-26 12-23-14 PDT Patrick Maybe all you need to do is make cpp_test_static_library actually static? 2020-03-26 12-15-52 PDT Patrick Yep, only for tests, though. Do you link the test library differently from other internal libs? 2020-03-04 14-12-51 PST Patrick Great! Once we figure it out, we can try to simplify the logic in inkscape/inkscape as well 2020-03-26 10-18-06 PDT Patrick Yeah, GitLab is stupid that way... 2020-03-27 09-03-49 PDT Patrick .dll.a indicates a so-called "import library". I think with gcc we can link directly against the .dll though. (so this is probably where the problem comes from: linking directly against libinkscape_base.dll once and indirectly linking against it a second time via the .dll.a) 2020-03-07 16-50-05 PST Patrick nah, that seems like overkill... I'd suggest to simply print a warning if `CI` is unset (same conditions otherwise). 2020-03-04 15-28-38 PST Patrick OK, yeah, I guess we might only use headers for Inkscape. 2020-03-04 14-05-20 PST Patrick Ok, so `find_package` fails locally as well. However the logic in https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L177-197 and https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/blob/master/testfiles/CMakeLists.txt… still makes it work (I'm pretty sure we don't even need all of it) 2020-03-07 17-01-56 PST Patrick Not even all people might use the shell script after all... 2020-03-26 12-19-02 PDT Patrick (you might want to check if static build still works btw, too. It caused problems in the past) 2020-03-19 15-03-14 PDT Patrick (although it's probably not too helpful right now) 2020-03-15 05-05-11 PDT Patrick np, thanks for checking the code! 2020-03-26 12-17-41 PDT Patrick Ah, I think tests are linked statically against libinkscape-base with your changes? 2020-03-04 10-05-53 PST Patrick Lack of time is a factor: If I had time to spare I would try to make the changes I suggested in your branch myself to see if they're viable. However as I'm currently spending my time on release-relevant things, I can only make the suggestion and have to depend on you to try to implement them. I'm not silencing anything, but if the feedback from you is "I don't see the need for a change" there's nothing I can work with (my original suggestion still stands, but I can not force you to try and implement it, and I currently won't spend time in it myself.) 2020-05-15 09-01-11 PDT Patrick It's not fixed yet but uses a shared library of 2geom as workaround 2020-03-26 12-23-37 PDT Patrick (or idd that fail as well) 2020-03-04 13-55-12 PST Patrick I could check locally if that helps (I have a Ubuntu VM 18.04 set-up). 2020-03-19 15-00-56 PDT Patrick (it's insanity that we link everything into one huge library right now - it's even causing problems, e.g. we can't currently do debug builds on Windows as there are too many symbols in the library) 2020-03-19 15-02-53 PDT Patrick At some point the hope was to get lib2geom packaged separately from Inkscape. 2020-03-26 09-04-59 PDT Patrick I looked at it and from reading the diff it should be fine. The primary thing I wanted to check was whether Windows CI passes (as I did not have the time to build locally yet). Unfortunately Windows CI was broken a while due to a row of broken updates in glibmm and mingw-w64 itself. Luckily that's all sorted out now. 2020-03-15 04-38-24 PDT Patrick No, Module mode is the default: 2020-03-07 16-55-09 PST Patrick That's true... if we want to ensure people see it we should probably add the waring to 2geom's CMakeLists.txt (and show it once `find_package(GTest REQUIRED MODULE)` fails) 2020-03-04 10-14-18 PST Patrick Wrt to the last sugestion: I'm not sure what your comment with "old style cmake 2.8" is referring to (I did suggest no such thing). What I suggested was to investigate _why_ the Ubuntu googletest/gmock packages are not found by the CMake module (I think you already have a rough idea) and attempt to fix the detection of the package rather than to download and build it manually. 2020-03-04 13-29-39 PST Patrick Well, let me know if/how I can help. We might be missing "libgmock-dev" (not available on Ubuntu 18.04 as it seems) 2020-03-26 09-05-58 PDT Patrick Feel free to rebase your MR to trigger a new CI build, otherwise I can do so later. 2020-03-26 12-20-15 PDT Patrick Oh, and I don't like https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/commit/e31698fb - I've removed that for a reason ;-) 2020-03-04 13-31-03 PST Patrick Create an MR with your changes as usual. 2020-03-07 15-58-28 PST Patrick I'll have a look tomorrow. Can we give general advice for affected users? (Possibly we could even print a warning explaining what to do?) 2020-05-07 13-41-15 PDT Patrick Well, I'm a Windows person, but that usually doesn't rule out that I try to fix Unix stuff ;-) 2020-03-04 13-20-56 PST Patrick We can add what we need here: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-ci-docker/-/blob/master/install_depend… 2020-05-07 13-43-15 PDT Patrick It's OK if you don't want to try to fix the Windows part further , but I'm not sure when I find the time to investigate it myself. 2020-03-04 13-34-30 PST Patrick (`--full`) 2020-03-19 15-01-22 PDT Patrick (the default behavior) 2020-03-04 15-06-54 PST Patrick The files you're missing seem to be in `googletest`: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/googletest/filelist 2020-03-04 13-32-01 PST Patrick no, the file I linked. 2020-03-04 13-58-00 PST Patrick 18.04 is different. I think it misses something gmock-related.
