IRC log for #brlcad on 20161203

00:00.37 ries caen23: I think the brew howto is already kinda old… I am using boost from ports, but installed Qt from the download because I had issues with port’s verion of qt myself
00:06.21 ries caen23: should we create a task ‘Fix compiling LibreCAD with brew’?
00:27.44 *** join/#brlcad teepee_ (~teepee@unaffiliated/teepee)
00:36.20 caen23 ries: i don't think there's anything to fix
00:36.34 caen23 i can build everything just fine by running qmake and make
00:37.19 caen23 i also updated the wiki on github with the steps to build using homebrew and the default llvm
00:39.01 caen23 that's why i was asking thijs questions on that task, because i'm sure he's missing some very small detail
00:40.22 brlcad starseeker: intentionally removed .sh from the benchmark long time ago, and there are extensive docs hiding the fact that it's a script (and intention is that it will not remain a script for much longer, I almost have all the pieces necessary converted)
00:41.06 brlcad caen23: will publish the staged tasks here in a little bit
00:41.08 brlcad thanks
00:43.03 caen23 brlcad: great :D
00:44.45 caen23 ries: oh, and regarding the first problem he encountered, where he was able to compile, but not run the app, the problem appears when using macqtdeploy, which bundles the qt stuff inside the .app. but i haven't really looked into why that breaks running the app, maybe that's a good task
00:47.16 brlcad nihar: looking good, but remember that the categorization needs to lead to answering "what is next?"
00:48.22 caen23 brlcad: speaking of homebrew, maybe we could have a task for creating a brlcad formula for homebrew? i see librecad is already installable via homebrew
00:50.28 brlcad ries: caen23: regarding the compilation issues -- general suggestion if they run into a failure that is not their fault, to just have them report everything they did (transcript, logs, etc) and mark it closed, especially after it's clear they've spent more than 4 hours on the task
00:50.43 brlcad caen23: sounds like a great task -- please write it up
00:51.01 caen23 will do
01:33.41 starseeker brlcad: OK... we can put it back, but right now it's confusing brlman :-(
01:36.17 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 69250 brlcad/trunk/bench/CMakeLists.txt: preferred not to have sh on this file... need some other solution for brlman problem on Windows...
01:40.14 brlcad starseeker: how so?
01:41.11 starseeker brlman is set up so that if you give it a string that identifies a file on the filesystem it will attempt to read that rather than using the bu_brlcad_data path lookups
01:41.14 brlcad manual pages (at least on linux) are independent of the binary
01:41.58 starseeker because benchmark has no file extensions and on Windows brlman's cwd is the binary directory where the executable resides, it's picking up the sh script in the gui
01:43.18 starseeker my other thought was to hide the "read a file I'm specifying" ability behind an option (say -f <filename> in order to specify a file)
01:43.28 starseeker that's a bit of work but undoubtedly safer
01:43.45 starseeker will take a stab at it tomorrow
01:43.49 brlcad I presume this is the brlman.tcl script?
01:44.07 starseeker nods, but I expect the command line version would have similar problems in a similar situation
01:44.29 *** join/#brlcad kintel (~kintel@unaffiliated/kintel)
01:45.10 brlcad another temp-solution would be to test for SH_EXEC and if NOT, don't run the configure_file
01:45.59 brlcad but I think you're right -- an explicit option for reading specific files would be best
01:47.25 *** join/#brlcad LordOfBikes (~armin@dslb-092-074-225-171.092.074.pools.vodafone-ip.de)
01:47.42 brlcad starseeker: so is that logic somewhere in ManBrowser? not seeing it in brlman.tcl
01:47.55 starseeker yeah, it's in man_browser.tcl
01:48.04 starseeker wonders if brlman.tcl is even used any more...
01:48.18 brlcad brlman.bat uses it
01:48.37 starseeker we still have brlman.bat?
01:48.43 brlcad apparently
01:48.43 starseeker thought he got rid of that
01:49.41 starseeker oh, the C code uses brlman.tcl to fire things off
01:49.56 starseeker doesn't see brlman.bat in trunk
01:50.14 brlcad ah, maybe you did kill the .bat ... it's ironically installed into my bin dir (on mac)
01:50.21 brlcad undoubtedly left over
01:50.42 brlcad looks like mged.bat installs/installed too
01:50.53 starseeker nods - yeah, those ended up in some installs just to avoid OS conditionals I think (another reason I wanted to get rid of the bat files)
01:51.13 starseeker the only ones left in trunk now are in src/other
01:51.15 starseeker tcl and tk
01:51.26 starseeker and I don't think any of them are installed
01:53.00 brlcad great!
01:53.10 brlcad that only took like 15 years :)
01:53.16 starseeker heh

03:58.30 shadow21 hello
03:58.59 shadow21 who is the mentor for brl-cad buisness card logo designing
03:59.15 shadow21 can i communicate wiht you in any other way
03:59.19 brlcad shadow21: there are many/any -- what's your question? :)
03:59.42 brlcad here is best for the fastest response
03:59.56 brlcad but questions on the site work too
04:00.12 brlcad especially if you mark the task as ready for review, it will get attention
04:01.11 *** join/#brlcad amarjeet (~Amarjeet@2405:205:408e:b046:42b9:4b92:a61e:4c58)
04:05.59 shadow21 okay
04:06.17 shadow21 well now i have done what i wanted to do
04:06.33 shadow21 ill just be submitting the task in a while
04:09.45 brlcad alright, everything going well?
04:13.31 nihar B
04:13.41 brlcad caen23: all the new tasks are published
04:14.12 brlcad also created non-beginner versions of the compile and install tasks, since they can only do those as beginners
04:14.16 nihar Can you give me the access?
04:14.50 brlcad nihar: did you see my comment about "what is next?"
04:15.29 brlcad it's not just a matter of giving you access -- it's setup too, that's the work
04:15.43 nihar Yes, I understand that I need to review each task
04:15.44 brlcad if it was just access, you would have it already
04:16.18 brlcad nihar: no, I mean the categories should be towards a workflow, answering "what is next"
04:17.22 brlcad i noticed you took those three code categories I mentioned and added them, but those won't necessarily be categories (maybe, maybe not, probably not)
04:17.59 nihar Yes, I need to specify what next is to be done now
04:19.03 nihar I didn't know that previously
04:19.37 nihar I assumed you wanted to categorize what the task is about
04:20.04 brlcad another way of thinking about it is like tagging the tasks as "needs_review", "needs_to_be_published_to_wiki", "needs_code_cleanup", etc...
04:20.08 brlcad don't just use those, they're just examples!
04:21.08 brlcad if you're wanting a black and white recipe, then this will not be a productive task .. have to figure out what categorization/groupings/taggins make the most sense, will help them get processed and integrated properly the most quickly
04:21.26 brlcad doable, but it'll take some thinking and trial
04:22.00 nihar No, i have got the idea now
04:22.21 brlcad great
04:22.25 nihar I can make my own categories too right?
04:22.48 brlcad there are currently no categories other than "uncategorized"
04:22.53 brlcad so YES, you will have to :)
04:22.58 nihar okay cool
04:23.10 brlcad that's the whole point -- figuring out what categories will actually be useful
04:23.29 nihar so please help me with the setup
04:23.29 brlcad for example, just grouping all of the documentation tasks together is not incredibly useful
04:24.01 nihar ya we need to divide them further
04:24.01 brlcad grouping all the wiki updates together, that might be useful
04:24.37 brlcad help you with setup how?
04:25.07 nihar like i have brlcad installed.. I also have access of the data
04:25.59 nihar shall i need something else too?

04:26.57 brlcad there's the task repo, but that's still read-only at the moment
04:27.38 nihar okay.. i shall begin then
04:27.48 nihar you can later review my categories
04:27.58 nihar then we can create directories
04:27.59 brlcad that sounds like a good start
04:28.11 nihar and move files accordingly
04:28.43 nihar thanks for help

05:08.27 brlcad amarjeet: yes, one is marked beginner, one is not
05:09.27 brlcad I can remove one
05:10.11 amarjeet Does beginner mark create difference and what?
05:12.16 brlcad beginner tasks are supposed to assume no experience

15:05.30 amarjeet Hi
15:05.46 amarjeet Just saw your design nice work
15:06.39 juskirat2000 thank you sir
15:07.18 juskirat2000 is it approved?
15:07.52 juskirat2000 ?
15:09.42 amarjeet No, I was just typing things that are missing like design in editable format and link to source you used and improvements that could be done.
15:10.54 juskirat2000 i made it in png
15:11.51 juskirat2000 link to source you use - i didn't get it
15:13.04 juskirat2000 <amarjeet> could you please tell me so that i can improve.
15:13.16 amarjeet Link to source means from where you took things like to template or images you used in that design
15:14.11 juskirat2000 that also i have to mention within the comment ?
15:14.39 juskirat2000 <amarjeet> and i made it in png
15:14.45 amarjeet Yes, Its mentioned in task description
15:15.38 juskirat2000 but its not there
15:16.45 juskirat2000 <amarjeet> its not there in task description

15:23.01 juskirat2000 ok

15:24.49 amarjeet I will check it in sometime and reveiw your task.
15:25.25 juskirat2000 ok i am waiting .......

15:44.27 shadow21 a lot my time is being wasted
15:45.38 brlcad shadow21: reviews are guaranteed once a day (within 36 hours technically)
15:46.00 brlcad that's why it's very important to read and address all feedback from mentors when it's given, and to double-check your work
15:46.13 brlcad at least, if you're trying to win, that's pretty much requisite

15:47.08 brlcad juskirat2000: you shouldn't assume anyone is a sir when talking online, and such formality is generally inappropriate/discouraged for open source
15:47.56 brlcad amarjeet: for the previews, using a stock t-shirt template is okay -- it's their editable source files that should be original work
15:48.08 brlcad i.e., the artwork that would get sent to a printer
15:48.15 brlcad you don't send t-shirt templates to a printer ;)
15:49.39 *** join/#brlcad kintel (~kintel@unaffiliated/kintel)
15:51.02 amarjeet Okay, and Is PNG accepted as editable format
15:51.32 brlcad only in very limited circumstances -- probably should remove it from the list
15:52.01 *** join/#brlcad merzo (~merzo@93-195-113-92.pool.ukrtel.net)
15:52.02 brlcad editable would be something like .psd, .ai
15:52.08 amarjeet Yes, I also think it should be
15:52.27 brlcad i think inkscape writes .svg by default, so that's another
15:52.47 brlcad basically, something that has layers, text that is editable and can be repositioned
15:54.51 amarjeet Okay
16:13.32 brlcad amarjeet: i noticed you're reviewing tasks but not marking them needing more work or approved? intentional?
16:15.54 amarjeet I just didn't marked single task intentionally
16:16.14 amarjeet As I want to ask something from you at that time
16:17.10 amarjeet It was related to building model of house using OpenSCAD.
16:19.09 amarjeet I wanted to know does we need to check how the model looks or just we have to check that task is completed according to description

16:26.58 sniok yes
16:28.23 sniok https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/4710613429256192/ looks a lot like http://brlcad.org/gci/data/uncategorized/2014-4544323332866048-Design_a_T-Shirt_for_BRL-CAD_6_-_BRL-CAD/file-3-2014-12-06T06:50-0800-Tshirt%201C.png
16:28.32 gcibot Design a t-shirt for BRL-CAD || 3 days || Outreach / Research || BRL-CAD
16:32.03 brlcad excellent catch sniok .. how'd you notice that? :)
16:32.35 sniok I've been working on categorizing previous GCI tasks
16:33.08 brlcad yes, but to notice that current pending task too ... wow :)
16:33.26 brlcad props
16:34.30 brlcad amarjeet: it's a judgement call -- if they fulfilled the task criteria and clearly have spend at least 3 hours on it, that's generally plenty adequate to mark it accepted
16:36.08 brlcad amarjeet: if they clearly spent lots of time and effort, e.g., more than 5+ hours, definitely should be accepted unless there's a major problem
16:36.35 amarjeet Okay
16:36.37 brlcad anything less, it's okay to say it needs more work when there is something that could be improved
16:37.24 brlcad just be cautious doing that more than a couple times on the non-design tasks.. they usually take hours and asking for more work should be to correct errors
16:39.14 amarjeet Okay I will take care
16:39.20 brlcad on design tasks, it's much more complicated -- there I tend to be more strict on them needing to fix all technical issues (not subjective issues!) and try to balance their effort with the quality of the work, how close to useable it is
16:39.49 brlcad e.g., http://brlcad.org/gci/data/uncategorized/2014-4544323332866048-Design_a_T-Shirt_for_BRL-CAD_6_-_BRL-CAD/file-3-2014-12-06T06:50-0800-Tshirt%201C.png is pretty darn close to usable as-is, whether I like it or not
16:41.23 sniok brlcad: I think we should make task about fixing spelling mistakes in OGV a bit easier. I don't think there are a lot of them and fixing at least 5 would be nice anyway.
16:41.54 brlcad https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/4710613429256192 has aliasing errors, an unnecessary trailing / on the url, lots of content on the belly (probably uncomfortable), but is otherwise close to usable too
16:41.55 gcibot Design a t-shirt for BRL-CAD || 3 days || Outreach / Research || BRL-CAD
16:43.01 brlcad okay, I can reduce the count ... but there are more mistakes than one usually realizes
16:43.15 brlcad the mistake people make is browsing the code for spelling mistakes with their eyes
16:43.32 brlcad spelling mistakes are caught using tools -- if you apply common tools, you'll find dozens
16:45.57 amarjeet Should above task be accepted even with aliasing error

16:59.06 brlcad amarjeet: given the similarity, no
16:59.46 brlcad for design tasks, the bar keeps getting raised
17:00.24 brlcad within the next week or two, I'd like to get all the previous and new design tasks into a gallery on github so everyoen can see prior work
