00:26.58 brlcad starseeker: ah, thanks -- that makes a LOT more sense now (and why commenting out code is bad, requires making assumptions that are easily wrong)
00:27.48 brlcad interesting entirely unintended side-effect there that caused the open failure
00:47.30 starseeker that SPM08 paper is indeed interesting
00:51.24 kanzure heh

02:10.39 CIA-124 BRL-CAD: cliff fixed a bug in rtedge where it was giving a permission denied error due to
02:10.39 CIA-124 BRL-CAD: a double-open call. the double-open was somehow fine before the conversion to
02:10.39 CIA-124 BRL-CAD: bu_image/icv_image but was now giving an "open: Permission denied" error. fix
02:10.39 CIA-124 BRL-CAD: was to eliminate the second open call.
02:20.57 CIA-124 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r50509 10/brlcad/trunk/NEWS: tom browder fixed a bug in the comgeom-g importer that was causing a problem due to improper memory deallocation after mk_ars().

11:44.34 d_rossberg windows build was ok now after cleaning up the build directory
11:46.27 d_rossberg there was only one problem: warning: error while sourcing rtwizard.tcl: couldn't read file "util/getopt.tcl": no such file or directory
11:47.49 d_rossberg there seems to be a path-mismatch somewhere
13:04.41 *** join/#brlcad ksuzee (~ksuzee91@193.151.105.83)
13:05.35 brlcad hm, d_rossberg what do you get if you start btclsh and run: bu_brlcad_data "tclscripts"
13:14.03 *** part/#brlcad ksuzee (~ksuzee91@193.151.105.83)
13:20.20 starseek1r d_rossberg: that was a tclscript warning?
13:20.36 starseek1r I'm seeing that, but it doesn't seem to have any functional implications so far
13:21.43 starseek1r it's line 69 in rtwizard.tcl: source [file join [bu_brlcad_data "tclscripts"] util getopt.tcl]
13:22.08 starseek1r that part of rtwizard.tcl is not functional yet, so I can comment it out if it's wrong...
13:23.34 starseek1r the only other case of sourcing a file from bu_brlcad_data "tclscripts" is in help.tcl - that's how we're trying to pull helplib.tcl
13:24.42 starseek1r dunno if that's causing a similar error... checking the build logs now...
13:31.43 starseeker oohhh... it's coming back to me a little. I seem to recall our having this issue before with pkg_mkIndex, which is a built-in Tcl command
13:34.48 d_rossberg brlcad: ~/brlcad.install/share/brlcad/7.21.0\tclscripts
13:36.52 d_rossberg starseeker: i couldn't see any effect of this warning/error to the remaining build
14:05.03 starseeker yeah, I think this has come up before. pkg_mkIndex is a built-in from Tcl, and it doesn't evalute our bu_brlcad_data function before attempting to source
14:05.17 starseeker or rather, if it does try the result goes away and doesn't help
14:06.30 starseeker brlcad: do you happen to recall if there was a workaround for that?
14:09.10 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: 03bob1961 * r50510 10/brlcad/trunk/src/tclscripts/lib/ (CMakeLists.txt Ged.tcl RtImage.tcl pkgIndex.tcl): Split out the guts of cadwidgets::Ged::make_image into cadwidgets::rtimage.
15:03.03 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: 03Plussai 07http://brlcad.org * r3642 10/wiki/User:Plussai/GSoC_2012_log: /* 9 May 2012 */
15:12.24 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r50511 10/brlcad/trunk/src/tclscripts/ (3 files in 2 dirs): Make a couple things into package requireable packages and add a couple other tweaks to make pkg_mkIndex happy - hopefully this eliminates the error being reported trying to source getopt.tcl
15:12.37 starseeker d_rossberg: see if that helps
15:14.53 starseeker you may need to clear out share/brlcad/7.21.0/tclscripts/rtwizard
15:14.58 starseeker and regenerate it
15:16.52 starseeker grumble... that limitation takes a lot of the starch out of bu_brlcad_data...

16:28.24 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: summarize the release process more clearly with the underlying rationale. the
16:28.24 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: emphasis isn't monthly iteration, so make the steps clear on requirements for
16:28.24 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: sync/tag and announcing release intentions. include a copy-pasteable mail
16:28.24 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: notification and improve some of the other steps so they can similarly be
16:28.25 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: copy-pasted. get the last release rev and set MAJOR/MINOR/PATCH for tagging.

17:36.10 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r50513 10/brlcad/trunk/HACKING:
17:36.10 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: prompted by browder's mailing list inquiry and linux release naming
17:36.10 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: disconformity, include a new section on patching a release. includes details on
17:36.10 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: version numbering. uses the versiontriplet-count convention in order to match
17:36.10 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: the existing linux binary release files and to avoid ambiguity, especially since
17:36.11 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: we already have a 'PATCH' version number that increments sequentially.
18:00.38 *** join/#brlcad andrei (~andrei@188.25.158.40)
18:17.12 brlcad starseeker: in all fairness, bu_brlcad_data wasn't ever intended to be used for finding tclscripts
18:17.36 brlcad data should be for finding the db examples, html docs, examples images, etc
18:24.22 brlcad starseeker: you or bob seen https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=640802&aid=3523256&group_id=105292 ?
18:25.25 brlcad I believe that -imagepixmapify option should be going to a tkhtml widget
18:31.41 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r50514 10/brlcad/trunk/NEWS:
18:31.41 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: cliff added new command-line support to rtwizard including added new manual page
18:31.41 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: documentation. inclued are a variety of options that provide a way to avoid the
18:31.41 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: need for graphically picking components. not yet fully non-graphical, but
18:31.41 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: moving in support of that end for regression testing.

18:36.46 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r50515 10/brlcad/trunk/NEWS: richard added a new -m1 option to mged for drawing BoTs in shaded mode if OpenGL support is enabled (along with lighting and z-buffering), including user documentation.
18:40.51 starseeker brlcad: it's a tkhtml thing, sure enough - your question about whether he has a system tkhtml that might be installed (and might be too old to understand that option) is probably on the right track
18:55.53 starseeker yeah, he's got alpha16 installed. First time I've ever run into that, but it's not too surprising in retrospect - that's the tarball version available here, after all - http://tkhtml.tcl.tk/

18:58.44 starseeker brlcad: um... actually, there's nothing non-graphical working as yet... Bob's addition of the RtImage.tcl proc makes it possible, but there's a ways to go yet...
18:59.29 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: 03bob1961 * r50516 10/brlcad/trunk/src/tclscripts/archer/ArcherCore.tcl: Update ArcherCore::attr to not set the saveflag when calling the "get" or "show" subcommands.

19:16.28 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: suprising this hasn't been provided by now, but add an option for reading angles
19:16.28 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: as radians or degrees. most of our tools take degree angles but could just as
19:16.28 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: easily take both. avoid 'R' since it implies radius, but perhaps a 'rad' and
19:16.28 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: 'deg' suffix would help. probably best implemented as a libbn function.

19:31.01 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r50518 10/brlcad/trunk/NEWS: richard expanded mged's 'l' list command documentation with details on the -t (terse) and -r (recursive) options.
19:33.29 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r50519 10/brlcad/trunk/NEWS: richard expanded mged's 'l' list command documentation with details on the -t (terse) and -r (recursive) options. also the same for the listeval command (where -t also means terse output)
19:48.49 brlcad starseeker: so our sources are based on something older than alpha16? I don't recall anyone adding that imagepixmapify option to tkhtml
19:50.35 brlcad plus news should be fine -- just says command-line invocation has some options it didn't have before (commit message explained goal, not status)
20:00.40 starseeker ours are based on something newer than alpha16
20:00.49 starseeker k
20:01.42 starseeker I'm guessing something in our code tried to use an option not supported by alpha16, but I'm not sure yet

20:26.36 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: Updated function 'ged_red' in file 'red.c'. Fixed a bug where regions were
20:26.36 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: incorrectly being automatically converted to combinations when editied with the
20:26.36 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: mged 'red' command. Fixed bugs in the mged 'red' command input parameter error
20:26.36 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: checking. Improved some of the error messages in the mged and archer 'red'

20:30.16 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: 03r_weiss * r50522 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libged/editit.c: Fixed a bug in function '_ged_editit' in file 'editit.c'. There was an array which was not initialized causing intermittent errors and seg-faults.
20:31.06 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r50523 10/brlcad/trunk/src/tclscripts/rtwizard/rtwizard.tcl:
20:31.06 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: The real beginning of rtwizard command line support. Can specify a variety of
20:31.06 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: options on the command line, although this may not be the final form of all the
20:31.06 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: options and the man page will need to be synced with the actual options.
20:31.06 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: Currently none of the command line options can be used to initialize GUI
20:31.07 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: options, but that level of integration should be possible.
20:50.48 starseeker shucks - too much backporting to STABLE to get the command line rtwizard going there - will have to wait
21:08.46 starseeker ah - bug fix for red is at red.c:869
21:10.34 starseeker hmm... were we allowing red to be run without arguments in order to present a "text gui" for object creation? If so, it really should be argc < 2 not argc != 2 in utility1.c
21:13.23 starseeker er, excuse me - not thing straight
21:13.45 starseeker question is allowing more than one arg
21:13.48 starseeker nevermind
