16:22.09 *** join/#brlcad ksuzee (~ksu@46.149.82.166)
17:18.33 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r51299 10/brlcad/trunk/CMakeLists.txt: Remove what look like stray leftover lines - distclean is handled with cmake script files now.
17:21.21 brlcad er ma gerd .. so many major changes to talk about
17:21.41 brlcad should have pushed that christmas release
17:21.55 brlcad by far the hardest write-up to date
17:21.58 brlcad trying to condense
17:30.01 cristina brlcad: hi. an error is generated while running *make distcheck* because strcmp is used in the src/conv/g-voxel.c file instead of *bu_strcmp*. I modified it and it works file now.
17:30.21 cristina should I commit this or tell the author about it?
17:31.36 cristina s/works file/works fine
17:32.51 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: 03crdueck * r51300 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libged/analyze.c: ws changes, removed dead code in an 'src/libbn/plane.cif 0' block
17:42.16 brlcad cristina: either
17:42.25 brlcad if you have the fix, no harm just committing it
17:42.43 brlcad but you might want to still tell them about it so they're aware for the future
17:43.01 brlcad (that's a replacement function documented in HACKING)
17:43.39 cristina yes, that's where I found out about it
17:44.46 cristina ok, I will announce the author as soon as he's online
17:58.20 cristina !seen anuragmurty
18:06.37 brlcad ~seen anuragmurty
18:06.38 ibot anuragmurty <~anurag@14.139.128.11> was last seen on IRC in channel #brlcad, 3d 4h 24m 27s ago, saying: 'brlcad : hi'.
18:07.20 brlcad ! is the default for supybot, ibot uses ~ or her name
18:08.03 cristina thanks, brlcad, I read about the seen command of ibot in private and used it there :)
18:11.57 brlcad yeah, ibot's good for that (nickserv too)
18:27.38 ksuzee brlcad: hello, Sean! I have a small question about directory proc-db. In such files: brep-cube.cpp and brep-simple.cpp there're a lot of copy-pastes. Many functions are identic. So must it be reducted? I wonder =)
18:28.47 ksuzee I mean, shall I put them into the common file?
18:29.45 brlcad ksuzee: no, leave src/proc-db alone -- that's basically a playground for testing
18:35.37 ksuzee sean: thanks,ok. I simply began to doubt because of such big amout of duplications
18:39.45 crdueck my commit message for r51300 has a weird typo... i committed from vim and "#" got expanded to "src/libbn/plane.c". any way to ammend that?
18:52.12 brlcad crdueck: nope, other than to make a follow-up commit that explains the prior message
18:53.27 crdueck does svn let you commit a file with no changes?
18:55.31 brlcad no, you'd have to make some trivial change
18:55.43 brlcad there's almost always whitespace cleanup that can be applied
18:55.51 brlcad for add a comment explaining something
18:55.56 brlcad s/for/or/
19:37.46 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r51301 10/brlcad/trunk/NEWS: (log message trimmed)
19:37.46 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: this is easily the biggest release we've made since going open source. add
19:37.46 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: write-up details on some of the bigger changes occuring with this release
19:37.46 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: including the completion of coverity fixes, nurbs enhancements and v&v, importer
19:37.46 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: improvements, doc translations, introduction of the socis simulation project,
19:37.47 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: ambient occlusion, integration of rtwizard, and more. should have released
19:37.48 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: before the coverity backlogging... and pressed for it harder/sooner after.
19:38.12 brlcad boom, proof-reading for spelling, grammar welcome
19:39.08 brlcad i'm going to give that a couple hours to fester before I revisit to see how it flows, then I'll sync and snap
19:46.02 brlcad that took way too long :)
20:16.43 *** join/#brlcad andrei_ (~andrei@5-12-69-95.residential.rdsnet.ro)
21:15.14 starseeker brlcad: we dont' have STEP on Windows yet - at last discussion with Nick, we're getting close to being able to attempt it
21:16.41 starseeker is anticipating additional work, probably both on our side and the SCL side, to get that fully functional
21:26.21 crdueck brlcad: the analyze_face function in analyze.c uses the prface array (also in analyze.c) which assumes that an arb6 is going to be a triangular prism shape, with 3 rectangular faces and 2 triangular ones. but couldnt an arb6 like {(1,0,0),(0,1,0),(0,0,1),(-1,0,0),(0,-1,0),(0,0,-1)} represent a diamond shaped polygon with 8 triangular faces? is there an error here?
23:09.06 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: 03tbrowder2 * r51302 10/brlcad/trunk/ (228 files in 35 dirs): (log message trimmed)
23:09.08 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: corrected copyright based on earliest svn log entry (including parent
23:09.08 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: doc for changed paths)
23:09.08 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: added missing AUTHOR, COPYRIGHT, and BUG REPORTS sections
23:09.08 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: deleted any suprious, single quotation marks in header comments
23:09.08 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: corrected internal file names where needed
23:09.12 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: ensured AUTHOR, COPYRIGHT, and BUG REPORTS sections are at the end
23:17.59 starseeker ``Erik: if you miss the tendra compiler too much, you might have some fun with this: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/tinycc
23:18.53 starseeker how can you argue with a C compiler that started as an Obfuscated C Code Contest entry in 2001? :-)
