IRC log for #brlcad on 20161203

00:00.37riescaen23: 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
00:06.21riescaen23: should we create a task ‘Fix compiling LibreCAD with brew’?
00:27.44*** join/#brlcad teepee_ (~teepee@unaffiliated/teepee)
00:36.20caen23ries: i don't think there's anything to fix
00:36.34caen23i can build everything just fine by running qmake and make
00:37.19caen23i also updated the wiki on github with the steps to build using homebrew and the default llvm
00:39.01caen23that's why i was asking thijs questions on that task, because i'm sure he's missing some very small detail
00:40.22brlcadstarseeker: 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)
00:41.06brlcadcaen23: will publish the staged tasks here in a little bit
00:41.08brlcadthanks
00:43.03caen23brlcad: great :D
00:44.45caen23ries: 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
00:47.16brlcadnihar: looking good, but remember that the categorization needs to lead to answering "what is next?"
00:48.22caen23brlcad: speaking of homebrew, maybe we could have a task for creating a brlcad formula for homebrew? i see librecad is already installable via homebrew
00:50.28brlcadries: 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
00:50.43brlcadcaen23: sounds like a great task -- please write it up
00:51.01caen23will do
01:33.41starseekerbrlcad: OK... we can put it back, but right now it's confusing brlman :-(
01:36.17Notify03BRL-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...
01:40.14brlcadstarseeker: how so?
01:41.11starseekerbrlman 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
01:41.14brlcadmanual pages (at least on linux) are independent of the binary
01:41.58starseekerbecause 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
01:43.18starseekermy 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)
01:43.28starseekerthat's a bit of work but undoubtedly safer
01:43.45starseekerwill take a stab at it tomorrow
01:43.49brlcadI presume this is the brlman.tcl script?
01:44.07starseekernods, but I expect the command line version would have similar problems in a similar situation
01:44.29*** join/#brlcad kintel (~kintel@unaffiliated/kintel)
01:45.10brlcadanother temp-solution would be to test for SH_EXEC and if NOT, don't run the configure_file
01:45.59brlcadbut 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)
01:47.42brlcadstarseeker: so is that logic somewhere in ManBrowser?  not seeing it in brlman.tcl
01:47.55starseekeryeah, it's in man_browser.tcl
01:48.04starseekerwonders if brlman.tcl is even used any more...
01:48.18brlcadbrlman.bat uses it
01:48.37starseekerwe still have brlman.bat?
01:48.43brlcadapparently
01:48.43starseekerthought he got rid of that
01:49.41starseekeroh, the C code uses brlman.tcl to fire things off
01:49.56starseekerdoesn't see brlman.bat in trunk
01:50.14brlcadah, maybe you did kill the .bat ... it's ironically installed into my bin dir  (on mac)
01:50.21brlcadundoubtedly left over
01:50.42brlcadlooks like mged.bat installs/installed too
01:50.53starseekernods - 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)
01:51.13starseekerthe only ones left in trunk now are in src/other
01:51.15starseekertcl and tk
01:51.26starseekerand I don't think any of them are installed
01:53.00brlcadgreat!
01:53.10brlcadthat only took like 15 years :)

03:58.59shadow21who is the mentor for brl-cad buisness card logo designing
03:59.15shadow21can i communicate wiht you in any other way
03:59.19brlcadshadow21: there are many/any -- what's your question? :)
03:59.42brlcadhere is best for the fastest response
03:59.56brlcadbut questions on the site work too
04:00.12brlcadespecially if you mark the task as ready for review, it will get attention

04:05.59shadow21okay
04:06.17shadow21well now i have done what i wanted to do
04:06.33shadow21ill just be submitting the task in a while
04:09.45brlcadalright, everything going well?
04:13.31niharB
04:13.41brlcadcaen23: all the new tasks are published
04:14.12brlcadalso created non-beginner versions of the compile and install tasks, since they can only do those as beginners
04:14.16niharCan you give me the access?
04:14.50brlcadnihar: did you see my comment about "what is next?"
04:15.29brlcadit's not just a matter of giving you access -- it's setup too, that's the work
04:15.43niharYes,  I understand that I need to review each task
04:15.44brlcadif it was just access, you would have it already
04:16.18brlcadnihar: no, I mean the categories should be towards a workflow, answering "what is next"
04:17.22brlcadi noticed you took those three code categories I mentioned and added them, but those won't necessarily be categories (maybe, maybe not, probably not)
04:17.59niharYes,  I need to specify what next is to be done now
04:19.03niharI didn't know that previously
04:19.37niharI assumed you wanted to categorize what the task is about
04:20.04brlcadanother way of thinking about it is like tagging the tasks as "needs_review", "needs_to_be_published_to_wiki", "needs_code_cleanup", etc...
04:20.08brlcaddon't just use those, they're just examples!
04:21.08brlcadif 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
04:21.26brlcaddoable, but it'll take some thinking and trial
04:22.00niharNo,  i have got the idea now
04:22.21brlcadgreat
04:22.25niharI can make my own categories too right?
04:22.48brlcadthere are currently no categories other than "uncategorized"
04:22.53brlcadso YES, you will have to :)
04:22.58niharokay cool
04:23.10brlcadthat's the whole point -- figuring out what categories will actually be useful
04:23.29niharso please help me with the setup
04:23.29brlcadfor example, just grouping all of the documentation tasks together is not incredibly useful
04:24.01niharya we need to divide them further
04:24.01brlcadgrouping all the wiki updates together, that might be useful
04:24.37brlcadhelp you with setup how?
04:25.07niharlike i have brlcad installed.. I also have access of the data
04:25.59niharshall i need something else too?

04:26.57brlcadthere's the task repo, but that's still read-only at the moment
04:27.38niharokay.. i shall begin then
04:27.48niharyou can later review my categories
04:27.58niharthen we can create directories
04:27.59brlcadthat sounds like a good start

05:08.27brlcadamarjeet: yes, one is marked beginner, one is not
05:09.27brlcadI can remove one
05:10.11amarjeetDoes beginner mark create difference and what?

15:07.18juskirat2000is it approved?
15:07.52juskirat2000?
15:09.42amarjeetNo,  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.
15:10.54juskirat2000i made it in png
15:11.51juskirat2000link to source you use - i didn't get it
15:13.04juskirat2000<amarjeet> could you please tell me so that i can improve.
15:13.16amarjeetLink to source means from where you took things like to template or images you used in that design
15:14.11juskirat2000that also i have to mention within the comment ?
15:14.39juskirat2000<amarjeet> and i made it in png

15:45.38brlcadshadow21: reviews are guaranteed once a day (within 36 hours technically)
15:46.00brlcadthat's why it's very important to read and address all feedback from mentors when it's given, and to double-check your work

15:47.56brlcadamarjeet: for the previews, using a stock t-shirt template is okay -- it's their editable source files that should be original work

15:52.27brlcadi think inkscape writes .svg by default, so that's another

16:17.10amarjeetIt was related to building model of house using OpenSCAD.

16:32.03brlcadexcellent catch sniok .. how'd you notice that? :)
16:32.35sniokI've been working on categorizing previous GCI tasks
16:33.08brlcadyes, but to notice that current pending task too ... wow :)
16:33.26brlcadprops
16:34.30brlcadamarjeet: 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
16:36.08brlcadamarjeet: 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
16:36.35amarjeetOkay
16:36.37brlcadanything less, it's okay to say it needs more work when there is something that could be improved
16:37.24brlcadjust 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
16:39.14amarjeetOkay I will take care
16:39.20brlcadon 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
16:39.49brlcade.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
16:41.23sniokbrlcad: 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.  
16:41.54brlcadhttps://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
16:41.55gcibotDesign a t-shirt for BRL-CAD || 3 days || Outreach / Research || BRL-CAD
16:43.01brlcadokay, I can reduce the count ... but there are more mistakes than one usually realizes
16:43.15brlcadthe mistake people make is browsing the code for spelling mistakes with their eyes
16:43.32brlcadspelling mistakes are caught using tools -- if you apply common tools, you'll find dozens
16:45.57amarjeetShould above task be accepted even with aliasing error
