2020-02-15 14-28-25 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>That whole issue is an exercise in how to "follow along" for anyone who notices. =)
2020-02-15 14-25-23 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>Sounds like a better use of energy than pressing buttons! ;)
2020-02-13 20-57-24 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>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 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>Usually it's a few days to a couple weeks behind, given that it needs to be signed.
2020-02-15 14-29-04 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>No worries, enjoy your weekend.
2020-02-15 14-20-15 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>That's what I just built, anyway ... hahaha.
2020-02-15 14-10-07 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>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 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>But it's about nine months old. Mostly still the same notion, though.
2020-02-15 14-27-02 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/issues/84#note_162773683
2020-02-15 15-48-36 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>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 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>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 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>Yep, that one is also: [ 1.1-dev (ddb55ca, 2020-02-02) ]
2020-02-15 14-11-52 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>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 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>The one from the git repository today is at: [ revision is c6194022f4, 2020-02-15 ]
2020-02-15 14-15-14 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>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 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>I'm download it now to look for you ...
2020-02-13 20-58-26 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>Night nite!
2020-02-15 14-25-53 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>I think I had instructions on the issue 84 posting I shared earlier, if you read through it.
2020-02-15 14-13-16 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>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 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>I don't know what the other link gives you, maybe it is newer.
2020-02-15 14-09-37 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>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 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>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 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>The learning experience is best when it is shared.
2020-02-15 14-27-15 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>That might put you in about the right position of that monster issue.
2020-02-15 14-21-56 PSTNathan Johansen <nathan@npj.com>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 PSTBrandon Sandall <brandsand@gmail.com>Haha true!
2020-02-15 14-25-23 PSTBrandon Sandall <brandsand@gmail.com>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 PSTBrandon Sandall <brandsand@gmail.com>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 PSTBrandon Sandall <brandsand@gmail.com>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 PSTBrandon Sandall <brandsand@gmail.com>Oh, gotcha. I hadn't read it in depth. I will try that before bugging you more :smiley:
2020-02-13 20-58-09 PSTBrandon Sandall <brandsand@gmail.com>True true. I will keep it over there tomorrow, then. Thanks! G'night!
2020-02-15 14-25-43 PSTBrandon Sandall <brandsand@gmail.com>Though, I am a slight nerd.. so I enjoy pressing buttons hehe
2020-02-15 14-11-59 PSTBrandon Sandall <brandsand@gmail.com>Let me try that dmg you just shared and see how it is.
2020-02-15 14-20-23 PSTBrandon Sandall <brandsand@gmail.com>So, I have the latest without going in and creating a workspace like you were talking about?
2020-02-15 14-13-12 PSTBrandon Sandall <brandsand@gmail.com>Is that dmg that you just shared more recent than this - 1.1-dev (ddb55ca, 2020-02-02)?
2020-02-15 14-30-05 PSTBrandon Sandall <brandsand@gmail.com>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 PSTBrandon Sandall <brandsand@gmail.com>Oh goodness... you're making me want to just do it today... haha
2020-02-15 14-18-02 PSTBrandon Sandall <brandsand@gmail.com>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 PSTBrandon Sandall <brandsand@gmail.com>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 PSTBrandon Sandall <brandsand@gmail.com>You too!
2020-02-15 14-16-56 PSTBrandon Sandall <brandsand@gmail.com>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 PSTBrandon Sandall <brandsand@gmail.com>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 PSTBrandon Sandall <brandsand@gmail.com>Would it be better to have a conversation here? That way we aren't bugging others? haha
2020-02-15 14-27-44 PSTBrandon Sandall <brandsand@gmail.com>You're awesome! Thanks!
