03:21.30 starseeker ``Erik: heh - I don't know actually how much xmlroff really has to to with troff. My thought was that if we could snarf the libfo bits, make them more robust (based on initial testing with our FO intermediate files there's some work to do there) and hook it up with libharu to get a nice self contained C/C++ replacement for Apache FOP
03:22.33 starseeker lot of work though - would amount to forking xmlroff and making a "fo2pdf" tool instead
03:23.01 starseeker have to strip out all the gnome/glib stuff, etc.

14:01.28 Apratim caen23: I was going through https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/blob/master/Casks/brl-cad-mged.rb, while I saw that "auto_updates true" wasn't there...though it wont effect the brlcad to an extent but will it update?

16:35.47 Apratim caen23: I guess, it would mean sth with updating the app?

19:40.38 caen23 Apratim: then try to understand what it does and whether it applies to brl-cad
19:41.03 caen23 don't just copy/paste what other formulas have
20:05.26 Apratim Yeah, I want to understand...that is why I am asking my doubts
20:12.10 Apratim Till now I have got to learnt a lot of new things like using svn, cmake and many more and I want to broaden my mind even more...thats why I ask silly questions because these help me in understanding things better :)
20:14.30 Apratim Though I wont be able to do the Homebrew task(I use Windows) but still I have developed an interest in it...which lets me ask those type of questions
21:14.18 Apratim caen23: How will I know whether it applies to brl-cad or not?

22:18.33 caen23 my point was that it would help you more to learn how to find out the answers yourself
22:19.49 caen23 but the answer to this in particular is that some apps include an auto-updater (functionality that allows them to grab updates for themselves)
22:20.19 caen23 the flag you mentioned is set to true if the app in question has such a feature
22:20.38 caen23 brl-cad to my knowledge does not, so it doesn't need to be set
23:24.01 Apratim oh I get you...but caen23 how do you know that brl-cad doesnt have this feature...I mean how can I know that a program has this feature in it or not?Where shall it be mentioned?
23:46.35 caen23 Apratim: as a user, you could check the menus. here is an example from a mac app which has such a menu item https://s30.postimg.org/6nhpzfg35/Screenshot_2017_01_08_01_45_12.png
23:47.09 caen23 as a developer, you can also read the source, documentation, and so on
