03:24.14 brlcad is working on the website, fyi (some downage)
04:03.26 kanzure aha
04:38.11 brlcad site is back up
04:38.24 brlcad (and running a lil faster)

05:28.48 brlcad waves to ksuzee
06:00.16 brlcad looks like upgrading php gave a little bit of a performance boost, nice
06:00.39 brlcad now to just get over onto that faster hardware this week..
06:01.22 brlcad planning on migrating our site early this week sometime, hopefully no slowdowns
06:01.30 brlcad calls it for tonight though

07:51.04 d_rossberg i get an "Content-Encoding-Error" (unknown or invalid compression) on http://brlcad.org/wiki/Main_Page with Iceweasel 10.0.4

11:59.05 brlcad d_rossberg: thanks, looks like I get an error here too
11:59.10 brlcad php syntax-related
12:09.23 starseeker yeah, wiki busted here too
12:21.26 Stattrav starseeker: Its working for me w.r.t to the user page of mine
12:22.41 Stattrav yup.
12:22.57 CIA-124 BRL-CAD: 03Stattrav 07http://brlcad.org * r3568 10/wiki/User:Stattrav/GSoC2012_log: Update of the dev logs
12:45.52 d_rossberg http://brlcad.org/wiki/User:Anuragmurty looks strange to me, doesn't it?
12:52.33 Stattrav strange as in ?
13:28.54 brlcad d_rossberg: that page doesn't look strange to me
13:30.05 brlcad the problem is somehow related to gzip compression -- disabled, the wiki pages render correctly
13:30.31 brlcad enabled, they "almost" render correctly -- looks like content lengths remain in the output somehow
13:45.55 d_rossberg now the page looks ok for me too
13:46.42 brlcad d_rossberg: okay, then you probably just looked at it while I was testing / debugging
13:47.05 d_rossberg btw: there is probably another problem whith caching in your server
13:47.43 brlcad the cache probably has to be wiped
13:47.45 d_rossberg i had to update a page more times to get the real content
13:48.00 brlcad it'll try to send back the compressed cached content
13:48.35 brlcad something isn't right with the gzip compression, been looking into it for a couple hours now, but seemingly no closer
13:48.54 brlcad I think it just might have to wait until after migration when mediawiki can be upgraded
13:49.11 brlcad php was upgraded, which started the mess -- now it's considerably newer than our install of mediawiki
13:49.36 brlcad some zlib/gz interaction isn't right, and it's seeming to be a mediawiki code problem
13:50.33 d_rossberg maybe it's a problem whith the pages' MIME type
14:01.23 *** join/#brlcad Stattrav_ (~Stattrav@61.12.114.82)
14:03.25 Stattrav what is the mess ?
14:36.46 brlcad Stattrav: I e-mailed about it
14:38.46 Stattrav checking
14:39.16 Stattrav sent it now ?
14:40.37 brlcad last night
14:40.38 Stattrav there is one you sent 9 hrs ago.
14:40.45 Stattrav yeah, checked that.
14:41.29 Stattrav no i was asking what was the glib compression issue. just wanted to know as see if I could be of any help
14:46.10 brlcad well there were several, but the last remaining issue is mediawiki not returning properly encoded data if wgDisableOutputCompression is false
14:52.09 CIA-124 BRL-CAD: 03r_weiss * r50451 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libged/gqa.c: Updated the mged 'gqa' command to exit with an error message if the object specified does not exist. This change prevents a seg-fault.
14:52.41 Stattrav ohh was just reading mediawiki manual.
14:54.13 Stattrav is it a browser specific thing ?
14:54.24 brlcad no
14:57.49 Stattrav ooh
15:36.41 CIA-124 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r50452 10/brlcad/trunk/NEWS: richard fixed a bug in gqa that was causing it to crash if the requested object(s) did not exist. if rt_gettree() failed, it continued processing and ended up crashing. now properly halts after the error message.
16:21.20 CIA-124 BRL-CAD: 03r_weiss * r50453 10/brlcad/trunk/doc/docbook/system/mann/en/lc.xml: Added documention for the new mged command 'lc'. Added file 'lc.xml'.
16:22.35 CIA-124 BRL-CAD: 03r_weiss * r50454 10/brlcad/trunk/doc/docbook/system/mann/en/CMakeLists.txt: Updated file 'CMakeLists.txt' to add the documention for the mged command 'lc'.

18:32.46 brlcad cristina: thanks for the wiki setup/update
18:33.47 brlcad cristina: do you plan on using your progress section for daily updates or a separate page?
18:37.40 CIA-124 BRL-CAD: 03Sean 07http://brlcad.org * r3571 10/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code: generalize the summary and move the great student summary to the 2012 page so I can post a direct link later
18:39.54 cristina brlcad: I was going to use the progress section (the already existing one). Should I create a separate page instead?
18:41.21 cristina maybe it's rather complicated for people to scroll down every time they want to check the progress?
19:04.00 CIA-124 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r50455 10/brlcad/trunk/ (2 files in 2 dirs): Hmm - more than one command ina man page means more than one output file (with CMake not knowing in advance about the extras.) Add a mechanism to tell CMake what to do with the extra output.
19:15.54 CIA-124 BRL-CAD: 03Sean 07http://brlcad.org * r3572 10/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2012: migrate the user list to here
19:19.52 brlcad cristina: either will work just fine but after a couple months, it does tend to become a lot of information that drowns out the project overview
19:20.05 brlcad it's nice to have it on a separate page, but it's completely up to you
19:20.26 brlcad i just needed to know because I mark the link down in a spreadsheet I use for keeping tabs on everyone
19:24.38 CIA-124 BRL-CAD: 03Cprecup 07http://brlcad.org * r3573 10/wiki/User:Cprecup/GSoC2012_progress: Separate page for development progress information

19:29.55 CIA-124 BRL-CAD: 03Cprecup 07http://brlcad.org * r3574 10/wiki/User:Cprecup: Move development progress section to another page and link to it.

21:44.48 brlcad cristina: I suggest rewording your http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/cp/42002 page summary a little bit
21:45.35 brlcad it's a bit confusing, perhaps just the middle portion where you talk about CSG and it being "nothing but" a DAG
21:46.04 brlcad once our announcement goes out, a lot of eyes will probably be reading your summary, so it'll do well to have it looking sharp ;)
21:46.38 andrei brlcad, I also need to rework my page entirely. Could you please tell me when is the "deadline" for that?
21:47.15 brlcad andrei: I'd like to send out the announcement later this week if at least 2/3rds are ready to go
21:49.04 brlcad so maybe by this friday, so I can send it over the weekend
21:49.24 brlcad that'll be two weeks before coding begins so it's a good timeframe to post it
21:52.37 andrei thanks for letting me know
22:02.10 cristina brlcad: ok. I will reword it and let you know about it so that you can check to see if it's ok. Thank you for letting me know
22:19.17 andrei brlcad: excuse me, I haven't fully understood your comment on the global variable removal patch
22:19.31 andrei could you please explain once more?
22:22.49 andrei ( I will review the patch again, however I m not sure if the patch is correct or not)
22:24.57 ``Erik "line 506 was added by me" shouldn't be in there at all, the repository will hold that info
22:26.11 ``Erik was with "line 270 was added by me" in malloc.c
22:26.40 andrei ah, I know the commented lines. I will go through the patch again tomorrow ( I hope)
22:26.55 andrei and fix all the mentioned issues
22:30.43 andrei ``Erik, as you are my asigned mentor, may I please have an email address on which I can contact you? There are some matters regarding communication during gsoc that I want to ask.
22:35.55 andrei or any other communication method that you preffer.
