2020-02-15 14-28-25 PST Nathan Johansen That whole issue is an exercise in how to "follow along" for anyone who notices. =) 2020-02-15 14-25-23 PST Nathan Johansen Sounds like a better use of energy than pressing buttons! ;) 2020-02-13 20-57-24 PST Nathan Johansen To some extent, sure. You're bringing up an important topic, though, so it might be fun to do it in the open for others to see and follow along with when you're ready. 2020-02-15 14-16-31 PST Nathan Johansen Usually it's a few days to a couple weeks behind, given that it needs to be signed. 2020-02-15 14-29-04 PST Nathan Johansen No worries, enjoy your weekend. 2020-02-15 14-20-15 PST Nathan Johansen That's what I just built, anyway ... hahaha. 2020-02-15 14-10-07 PST Nathan Johansen But sure! Let me know where you're at and how to get you where you'd like to be. 2020-02-15 14-28-46 PST Nathan Johansen But it's about nine months old. Mostly still the same notion, though. 2020-02-15 14-27-02 PST Nathan Johansen https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/issues/84#note_162773683 2020-02-15 15-48-36 PST Nathan Johansen Hmm. Maybe this part of that discussion is closer to having steps you can follow: [ https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/issues/84#note_165963901 ] 2020-02-15 14-21-17 PST Nathan Johansen Periodically when the master branch is mostly "stable" we'll produce a signed copy for testing so people who aren't building it from scratch can give it a go - been a rough few weeks for major bugs, though. 2020-02-15 14-18-59 PST Nathan Johansen Yep, that one is also: [ 1.1-dev (ddb55ca, 2020-02-02) ] 2020-02-15 14-11-52 PST Nathan Johansen If it's the former, then you'll need to open up "Terminal" and we'll create a "Workspace" folder to grab a copy of the repository, then work on setting up MacPorts with the required dependencies. 2020-02-15 14-20-08 PST Nathan Johansen The one from the git repository today is at: [ revision is c6194022f4, 2020-02-15 ] 2020-02-15 14-15-14 PST Nathan Johansen Umm ... no, that looks like the one. To view that directory listing (from before) just remove the trailing filename and look at the folder, like so: [ https://alpha.inkscape.org/prereleases/ ] 2020-02-15 14-16-44 PST Nathan Johansen I'm download it now to look for you ... 2020-02-13 20-58-26 PST Nathan Johansen Night nite! 2020-02-15 14-25-53 PST Nathan Johansen I think I had instructions on the issue 84 posting I shared earlier, if you read through it. 2020-02-15 14-13-16 PST Nathan Johansen You could also try this one, maybe it has a more recent snapshot: [ https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-master/mac-os-x/dmg/dl/ ] 2020-02-15 14-15-37 PST Nathan Johansen I don't know what the other link gives you, maybe it is newer. 2020-02-15 14-09-37 PST Nathan Johansen If you want to setup a build environment using MacPorts, that will take time (hours, perhaps), but if you'd like to try a recent (maybe a week or so old) snapshot of the latest development version, you can try this: [ https://alpha.inkscape.org/prereleases/Inkscape-latest.dmg ] 2020-02-15 14-22-44 PST Nathan Johansen I've been doing this for decades, and I like Inkscape, so it's a fun way to keep pace with the cool kids. ;) 2020-02-13 20-57-32 PST Nathan Johansen The learning experience is best when it is shared. 2020-02-15 14-27-15 PST Nathan Johansen That might put you in about the right position of that monster issue. 2020-02-15 14-21-56 PST Nathan Johansen That means building it, sending it off to Apple, having them code sign it, and getting it back, then placing it on the web site. So it takes extra steps to do "properly" ... 2020-02-15 14-25-28 PST Brandon Sandall Haha true! 2020-02-15 14-25-23 PST Brandon Sandall When we get do the MacPorts thing, should we do it in the inkscape_user channel so that others can follow along? 2020-02-15 14-24-59 PST Brandon Sandall That's awesome. I wish I knew more about coding and all that so I could jump in on a project, too. I want to be one of the cool kids, too! haha. Well, one of these days I may want to do the MacPorts thing and get the nightly build on my Mac. My wife just got home, so we are going to go out and have some fun.. maybe play some racquetball. 2020-02-15 14-06-56 PST Brandon Sandall You wouldn't happen to be up for helping me get the latest of the late on my computer, would ya? 2020-02-15 14-26-42 PST Brandon Sandall Oh, gotcha. I hadn't read it in depth. I will try that before bugging you more :smiley: 2020-02-13 20-58-09 PST Brandon Sandall True true. I will keep it over there tomorrow, then. Thanks! G'night! 2020-02-15 14-25-43 PST Brandon Sandall Though, I am a slight nerd.. so I enjoy pressing buttons hehe 2020-02-15 14-11-59 PST Brandon Sandall Let me try that dmg you just shared and see how it is. 2020-02-15 14-20-23 PST Brandon Sandall So, I have the latest without going in and creating a workspace like you were talking about? 2020-02-15 14-13-12 PST Brandon Sandall Is that dmg that you just shared more recent than this - 1.1-dev (ddb55ca, 2020-02-02)? 2020-02-15 14-30-05 PST Brandon Sandall Oh cool. I enjoy doing these kinds of things as I feel I learn some things through it. If I get stuck anywhere, or have questions, I may chat at ya again. Thanks for being so willing to help! 2020-02-15 14-20-39 PST Brandon Sandall Oh goodness... you're making me want to just do it today... haha 2020-02-15 14-18-02 PST Brandon Sandall Maybe a nightly build would be better...? Or maybe I should just be patient and wait for the next signed one haha. I just struggle in the patience arena haha 2020-02-15 14-21-51 PST Brandon Sandall Gotcha. So, who are you and how do you have so much time to help out with this project? The open source world is amazing to me. 2020-02-15 14-30-09 PST Brandon Sandall You too! 2020-02-15 14-16-56 PST Brandon Sandall Oh yeah.. I have been to that site. That's where I got the one that I have now, I believe. 2020-02-15 14-11-46 PST Brandon Sandall Gotcha. Don't know if I have time to setup a build environment today, though that sounds pretty fun. Let me try this latest build here. I am mainly just trying to get Inkscape to function like my Windows 7 PC at work that I put Inkscape on. It is buttery smooth there. I have a Mac and it struggles on here. 2020-02-13 20-56-35 PST Brandon Sandall Would it be better to have a conversation here? That way we aren't bugging others? haha 2020-02-15 14-27-44 PST Brandon Sandall You're awesome! Thanks!
