00:10.26Ralith:/
00:15.21b0efwasn't all the docs converted to docbook?
00:36.13brlcadb0ef: most, but not all -- still a lot more to go
04:11.44CIA-28BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34602 10/brlcad/trunk/BUGS: gah, still don't see the bug, but more details after three hours debugging on the small render image crash in X24_blit()'s memcpy.
04:25.00brlcadoh, maybe maybe...
04:33.00CIA-28BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34603 10/brlcad/trunk/src/rt/opt.c: allow 1x1 images
05:06.49CIA-28BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34604 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libfb/if_X24.c:
05:06.49CIA-28BRL-CAD: the X24_blit() logic is still wacky for zoomed windows but this change does stop
05:06.49CIA-28BRL-CAD: the invalid memory access crashes that were occuring for small renderings (that
05:06.49CIA-28BRL-CAD: had large zooms) during memcpy. the line-duplication logic was copying from the
05:06.49CIA-28BRL-CAD: middle of a line for the length of a line, which is only valid from the
05:06.52CIA-28BRL-CAD: beginning of a line. so we now duplicate from the beginning of the line
05:06.54CIA-28BRL-CAD: (opix/holdit).
05:07.24CIA-28BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34605 10/brlcad/trunk/BUGS: fixed the crash. still has bad behavior, though, for at least -s96 zooms and smaller.
05:21.25CIA-28BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34606 10/brlcad/trunk/src/other/step/src/fedex_plus/Makefile.am: one per line for diffability, remove extraneous tab, can't ldadd something not necessarily built
05:22.08CIA-28BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34607 10/brlcad/trunk/src/other/step/src/clutils/Makefile.am: need -fexceptions on C++ libs to resolve Unwind_Resume. this lib fully resolves now.
05:44.21CIA-28BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34608 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/db5_scan.c: fix a crash on diradd that was encountered during debugging (-x 11). name is a bu_external, so have to access the enclosed ext_buf if we want to print the name.
05:54.55brlcadrenders miqlas's gearbox niftily
06:02.04CIA-28BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34609 10/brlcad/trunk/src/other/step/configure.ac: define all of the generated libraries so we can make sure all dependencies are resolved
06:12.16*** join/#brlcad elena (n=elena@92.86.0.28)
06:13.04brlcadhola elena
06:13.22elenahi. how are you?
06:13.41brlcadburning the late oil, but coding so feeling good :)
06:14.01elenaLOL what hour is there?
06:14.11brlcadabout 2am
06:14.28elenawow. it is very late!
06:15.02brlcadnot too horribly late, but I've been waking up at 4am for practice, so it's pretty late :)
06:16.52elenabtw i got a copy of the Drupal code and more important, the database.
06:16.58elenais it ok?
06:17.10brlcadis what ok?
06:17.11elenait's only on my pc, i won't share with anyone else?
06:17.19elenagetting the db dump.
06:17.39elena"anyone else?" is "anyone else."
06:18.46brlcadoh, yeah that's okay -- but I'd also like to see you working in revision control ASAP
06:18.51brlcadhave you used svn before?
06:19.08elenavery little.
06:19.25elenai'll read about it.
06:19.36elenai didn't know the code is in svn.
06:19.42brlcadokay, then something to sort out quickly then :)
06:19.48brlcadthe code isn't, there is no code
06:19.52brlcadyou were starting with a clean slate
06:20.00brlcadbut that doesn't mean it shouldn't be revision controlled
06:20.21elenai agree. it's easier to update and keep track of things.
06:20.28brlcadany code being _written_ should be checked in (daily or more frequently) for many many reasons
06:20.47elenaandrei (my husband) uses it. he will show me the basics.
06:20.56brlcadthe code on the site now isn't custom, so nothing we wrote, nothing really to check in -- just backups of the site
06:22.08brlcadthe basics are pretty simple, perhaps starseeker can help walk you through setting up a new repository module with the trunk/branches/tags set up properly
06:22.37elenaok.
06:23.01brlcadactually, now that I think of it -- there is a 'web' module already
06:23.05brlcadgo ahead and use that
06:24.16brlcadelena: what's your sf.net username?
06:24.30elenaebautu i think. let me check.
06:24.53brlcadyeah
06:27.56elenayes. that is.
06:36.51CIA-28BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34610 10/web/trunk/ (DEVINFO NEWS misc/crontab): cull out some old information so this module can finally be put to use again
06:38.07CIA-28BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34611 10/web/trunk/htdocs/ (. more/): add htdocs web root with a 'more' subdirectory for elena to work with
06:38.57CIA-28BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34612 10/web/trunk/misc/: remove out-dated crontab example
06:48.30*** join/#brlcad Axman6 (n=Axman6@pdpc/supporter/student/Axman6)
06:50.59CIA-28BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34613 10/web/trunk/htdocs/ (.htaccess favicon.ico robots.txt): begin sync of some of our more important files
06:55.49CIA-28BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34614 10/web/trunk/htdocs/ (12 files in 6 dirs): sync our drupal, mediawiki, and cgi:irc config/setting files
06:56.30brlcadthere that should sync the more important aspects that have been revision neglected
06:56.32CIA-28BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34615 10/web/trunk/htdocs/skin2/ (27 files): sync our drupal, mediawiki, and cgi:irc config/setting files
06:57.22brlcadthat should give you a place to be putting your files, please do ask for help on using svn if you get stuck on something or need a tutorial
06:57.42brlcadmost anyone in here should be able to help
06:58.08elenaok. i will
06:58.10brlcadthe goal (which is tough for most new committers) is to commit nearly as frequently as you save a file
06:58.29elenai'll try.
06:58.30brlcadeven if you know you're going to change something right after
06:58.44brlcadeven if there are temporary aspects
06:58.49brlcadyou can't commit too frequently
06:58.57Ralithyes you can!
06:59.03brlcadheh
06:59.03elenai'm more concerned about mistakes, than temporary stuff :)
06:59.09Ralithonly if you try very hard, though
06:59.15brlcadmistakes are fine, even committed
06:59.24elenaok.
06:59.49brlcadangie has a great writeup about commits on her blog
06:59.53brlcad(drupal dev angie)
07:00.37brlcadhere we go
07:00.48brlcadelena: have a read at this when you get a chance: http://webchick.net/embrace-the-chaos
07:00.48elenai know.
07:00.52brlcadgood stuff
07:00.52elenathanks.
07:01.27brlcadeven the comments are insightful ;)
07:14.16CIA-28BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34616 10/brlcad/trunk/src/other/step/src/Makefile.am: clutils comes first, then clstepcore needs to come next. looks like cldai depends on both.
07:22.18CIA-28BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34617 10/brlcad/trunk/src/other/step/src/cleditor/ (Makefile.am needFunc.cc needFunc.h):
07:22.18CIA-28BRL-CAD: move the needFunc stubbed-empty example from src/test into here so that we don't
07:22.18CIA-28BRL-CAD: have a library calling a fracking undefined symbol. bad design. probably needs
07:22.19CIA-28BRL-CAD: to be an overridable virtual or a app-registered callback. either way, this
07:22.19CIA-28BRL-CAD: resolves all symbols for this lib and allows -no-undefined to work. sort the
07:22.22CIA-28BRL-CAD: file list while at it.
07:24.49CIA-28BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34618 10/brlcad/trunk/src/other/step/src/exppp/Makefile.am: these libs fully resolve after specifying libexpress as a dependency
07:30.18CIA-28BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34619 10/brlcad/trunk/src/other/step/src/ (cldai/Makefile.am clstepcore/Makefile.am express/Makefile.am):
07:30.18CIA-28BRL-CAD: we can cheat and fake the dependency resolve by letting libstepdai depend on
07:30.18CIA-28BRL-CAD: libstepcore and allowing libstepcore to not require all symbols be defined.
07:30.18CIA-28BRL-CAD: this cyclic dependency really should be broken, though, as it will likely still
07:30.18CIA-28BRL-CAD: cause portability problems. the SDAI functions shouldn't be called from
07:30.22CIA-28BRL-CAD: libstepcore.
07:32.50CIA-28BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34620 10/brlcad/trunk/src/conv/step/ (Makefile.am needFunc.cc needFunc.h): shoved the stub function into libcleditor so it should no longer be an unresolved symbol just by using the library.
07:34.09brlcadcalls it
