02:17.43 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/librt/wdb_obj.c: comments, remove dead new proc creation code (there's a func for that creating a wdbp function object)
02:19.36 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/conv/g2asc.1:
02:19.36 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: update the manpage with more up-to-date information and details. mention that
02:19.36 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: current format is a tcl script, that the conversion to ascii isn't strictly
02:19.36 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: necessary any longer since v5 format is portable, and that the ascii format
02:19.36 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: should not be used by external codes.
02:20.39 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/conv/dbupgrade.1: initial manual page for the dbupgrade command, basic usage info
02:22.31 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/conv/asc2g.c: add support for carriage returns so old ascii files copied from windows parse correctly. use a little less emphatic emphasis on error (!!!)
02:22.55 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/conv/dbupgrade.c: ws, indent
02:23.23 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/conv/Makefile.am: add new dbupgrade.1 manpage

06:26.49 digitalfredy brlcad: hello, i like to you see the docbook xml work for overview

08:25.28 brlcad ack
08:25.49 brlcad he keeps picks horribly inconsistent times :)
08:29.42 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/NEWS:
08:29.42 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: fixed g2asc export of null units bug. there was a situation where the current
08:29.42 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: units could not be determined and a (null) was export to the ascii file. this
08:29.42 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: would halt an asc2g. if the units cannot be determined, they are not output
08:29.42 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: (i.e. no (null)) now.
08:31.39 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/NEWS:
08:31.39 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: g2asc now saves additional _GLOBAL attribute values. previously, only the units
08:31.39 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: and title were exported so that if a user had manually added additional
08:31.39 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: attributes they were not being saved, now they are saved as attr commands in the
08:31.39 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: ascii format. (a situation where this was important was where a 'disclaimer'
08:31.42 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: and 'description' attribute were added in addition to the title.
08:33.46 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/NEWS:
08:33.46 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: g_diff reports more detail whether differences exist. if the external forms are
08:33.46 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: being compared, it will report whether the lengths differ or the contents
08:33.46 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: (previously was an unknown either/or difference). also g_diff will summarize
08:33.46 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: and actually say that it found no differences instead of just ending a statement
08:33.48 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: like there is something more like the following:
08:36.08 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/NEWS:
08:36.08 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: fixed g_diff attribute comparison issue. when doing a g_diff, attributes were
08:36.09 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: not being compared in order if the db command fails to tclify the exported
08:36.09 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: version resulting in a binary 'these objects seem to differ' when they did not.
08:36.09 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: the tclification was improved so it can perform a proper ordered attribute
08:36.11 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: comparison under more cases.
08:38.05 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/NEWS: (log message trimmed)
08:38.05 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: updated the g2asc manual page with format details. the manpage still talked
08:38.05 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: about it being necessary for platform independent conversions, language and
08:38.05 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: details were updated to note that this is no longer the case (that the binary
08:38.05 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: will work just fine). also mentions that binary and ascii are open specs,
08:38.08 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: though ascii is subject to deprecation change without notice whereas the binary
08:38.10 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: is not. also that the ascii should not be relied upon by external developers but
08:38.30 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/NEWS: added dbupgrade manual page. one didn't exist
08:41.05 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/NEWS:
08:41.05 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: fixed asc2g bug reading files with carriage returns. if you attempted to run
08:41.05 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: asc2g on a .asc file that came directly from the windows platform and had
08:41.05 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: embedded carriage returns ('\r'), it would incorrectly parse the v4 I units
08:41.05 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: version string dumping out a wierd undecipherable overlapping error (printing
08:41.07 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: the carriage return), now it handles them correctly.

14:50.46 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: support to dxf-g for ELLIPSE entities. earlier he added support for LWPOLYLINE,
14:50.46 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: MTEXT, LEADER, ATTRIB, SOLID, and ATTDEF entity states -- all grouped into one
14:50.46 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: news entry for dxf-g enhancements.

17:30.04 brlcad digitalfredy: pong!
17:30.09 brlcad been missing you all week
17:30.12 digitalfredy hey
17:30.32 digitalfredy i made the xml for overview
17:30.43 digitalfredy are only one problem
17:31.25 digitalfredy brlcad:
17:31.27 brlcad excellent
17:31.33 digitalfredy the problem is in the
17:31.57 digitalfredy hoja de estilo but is not a big problem, fine
17:32.28 digitalfredy brlcad: who is your mail for send you the xml and html
17:33.32 digitalfredy and i was missing becouse i was sick
17:33.41 brlcad te lo envie en un mensaje privado, lo tienes?
17:34.35 digitalfredy brlcad: si
17:35.07 digitalfredy brlcad: i made one book
17:35.26 digitalfredy but i think to is best made a only one big book
17:35.37 brlcad and the reasoning for that? :)
17:36.26 digitalfredy wait a moment and send you a link for review a structure in other book as example
17:38.14 digitalfredy brlcad: see http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/index.html
17:38.30 brlcad i was reading up last week on some work done with xinclude to get modular docbook files
17:38.37 digitalfredy the preface is the overview
17:38.48 digitalfredy and every part is a book
17:38.56 digitalfredy and all is a big book
17:39.41 brlcad ahh, that's better.. the "main book" is really a set of books yes?
17:39.55 brlcad with a book for each 'part' of the set
17:40.12 digitalfredy yes
17:40.19 digitalfredy yes
17:40.28 brlcad that approach sounds reasonable
17:40.39 brlcad have you worked at all with Xinclude?
17:40.44 brlcad (i haven't)
17:41.09 brlcad speaking of which is referenced in that book: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ModularDoc.html
17:41.19 digitalfredy brlcad: in spanis, can understand
17:41.56 brlcad pregunte si has usado Xinclude? (yo no..)
17:42.14 digitalfredy no pero puedo revisarlo
17:42.39 brlcad lo refiere en aquel libro aquĆ­: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ModularDoc.html
17:45.12 brlcad eso te deja separar libros en secciones y usar los en diferente lugares manteniendo un archivo xml valido
17:45.54 brlcad i'm just not sure whether it's really worth it or not.. i'll ask some of my other xml expert friends to see what they know ;)
17:46.14 digitalfredy haaa si creo que se
17:46.52 digitalfredy para crear por ejemplo un archivo con cada parte y luego en otro hacer el include de todos los archivos?
17:55.32 brlcad si, pero sin usar entity references
17:55.49 brlcad ahh.. xsltproc --xinclude.. excellent
17:56.01 brlcad so that should be the way to go..
17:59.39 digitalfredy brlcad: cant understand well
17:59.58 digitalfredy brlcad: esta es el camino a seguir o algo asi?
18:05.57 brlcad si!
18:06.10 brlcad sounds perfecto
18:06.51 digitalfredy begin the big book?
18:08.30 brlcad mirando lo que me enviaste.. un momento
18:10.17 brlcad wow
18:11.52 brlcad digitalfredy: me parece asombroso!
18:11.59 digitalfredy brlcad: rewrite the overview like preface
18:12.01 brlcad that looks great, really great
18:12.02 digitalfredy yes?
18:12.07 digitalfredy emacs
18:12.11 brlcad :)
18:12.14 digitalfredy i love emacs
18:12.26 brlcad hehe
18:12.36 digitalfredy fine
18:12.54 brlcad seriously, that is like exactly what I was hoping for
18:14.26 brlcad te puedo mandar los otros documentos grandes si quieres ya
18:14.36 digitalfredy yes
18:16.03 digitalfredy brlcad: who is the licence for the doc?
18:16.13 digitalfredy for put it in the book
18:16.48 brlcad all the new documentation is dual-licensed
18:19.19 brlcad y eso quiere decir que el documentation esta cubrido por el GFDL o si quieren el GPL
18:19.55 brlcad From BRL-CAD's COPYING file in CVS:
18:19.59 brlcad Unless otherwise denoted, all of BRL-CAD's documentation is made
18:19.59 brlcad available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL)
18:19.59 brlcad or, at your option, under the terms of the GNU General Public License

18:19.59 brlcad documents (e.g. published by the U.S. Government prior to being
18:20.02 brlcad released as Open Source) are in the public domain.
18:20.28 brlcad el ultimo frase se puede eliminar para eso
18:23.18 digitalfredy ok
18:25.14 digitalfredy ``Erik: fine
18:25.20 digitalfredy lesson 1
18:25.32 digitalfredy hello in spanish is hola
18:25.39 brlcad the copyright, different from the license should probably be something to the effect of:
18:25.43 brlcad <PROTECTED>
18:25.45 brlcad <PROTECTED>
18:25.46 ``Erik heh, I know that much :)
18:25.54 brlcad and tequila
18:25.58 brlcad means..
18:25.59 brlcad tequila
18:26.00 ``Erik mmm tequila
18:26.17 ``Erik mew-ee bway-no
18:26.18 ``Erik I mean, uh
18:26.19 ``Erik O:-)
18:26.29 digitalfredy aguardiente :)
18:26.40 brlcad jej
18:28.50 digitalfredy brlcad: All Rights Reserved?
18:29.14 ``Erik and post tequila, http://www.killsometime.com/pictures/Picture.asp?ID=246
18:33.21 brlcad digitalfredy: it's a standard disclaimer you find along with just about any english copyright -- authorship rights are explicitly desired instead of giving it away without any limitiation.
18:33.52 brlcad that in turn is extended by the GFDL/GPL which say specifically what is given away under what restrictions
18:34.35 digitalfredy yes some Rights Reserved
18:34.56 digitalfredy no all
18:36.07 brlcad it's not a contention point -- for the book, the phrase could probably be left out so long as it includes the COPYING details somewhere as well
18:37.33 brlcad and still the original author does retain all rights -- recipients are bound by the license and copyright law
18:37.59 ``Erik talked to a lawyer from the eff to see if it was good that way (since they have a "nomodification" policy, they wanted a copy of the tex file for re-use and asked it to be put under their doc license, heh
18:38.01 ``Erik )
18:38.42 brlcad they wanted the tex-formatted gpl language provided under the gfdl?
18:38.49 brlcad that's funny
18:39.17 digitalfredy brlcad: i thik to cc is best licences for documentation
18:39.55 digitalfredy but no problem first the first
18:40.01 digitalfredy first put the doc in docbook
18:40.02 brlcad what benefits does it provide over the current dual-license? :)
18:40.39 ``Erik http://explorerdestroyer.com/ o.O
18:40.54 brlcad i don't have religion on it, i frankly don't care a whole lot about the license on the docs -- it's hard enough to find people that are willing to work on documentation, let alone argue on how free to make the docs ;)
18:41.31 brlcad i'd just as likely make all the docs public domain or CC as the current gpl/gfdl
18:46.17 digitalfredy brlcad: i have to go, speack after
18:46.36 brlcad sounds great.. i'll send you the docs
18:47.00 brlcad thanks for working on the docs.. very cool
18:47.15 brlcad i'll have to get your name and contact details at some point for announcements
18:47.21 brlcad and credits
18:47.26 digitalfredy ok
18:47.42 digitalfredy i send you a mail
