 <<<Back 1 day (to 2015/11/04)20151105 
rayjj I think I have the SMask None clist issue fixed.00:17.42 
  I had to use a SAME_AS_PUSHCROP_BUTNOPUSH, which interestingly was implemented in the clist_create_compositor, but was never used (it may have been in the past and it got removed???)00:21.10 
  ah, I see that it used to be used by PDF14_SET_BLEND_PARAMS but was changed to ALLBANDS by mvrhel's commit 096e210200:58.03 
  mvrhel: can you have a look at the fix for bug 696324? http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=user/ray/ghostpdl.git;a=commitdiff;h=e60e2d37d15e5cd6703fe65d4e266fa093a6938a00:59.47 
sebras kens: morning!06:53.08 
SSgtSpoon Hey all, anyone awake?12:58.26 
kens If you have a question, just ask it13:04.30 
chrisl kens: when you have minute, could you check over: http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=user/chrisl/ghostpdl.git;a=commitdiff;h=ec5790f215:01.15 
kens One sec15:01.24 
  ell it looks sensible to me15:07.48 
chrisl Thanks, I'll push it - make marcosw happy (or less unhappy)15:08.46 
kens Shoulldd makke us hapy15:08.54 
  as it was wrong before15:09.19 
chrisl True.15:09.52 
marcosw less unhappy is an unreachable goal.15:10.37 
chrisl I thought it was more reachable than happy15:10.53 
  I still don't understand what's going on with the piped output - it seems to defy the logic of what I see happening in the code:-(15:13.25 
mvrhel_laptop I am going to be out for a bit this morning15:40.46 
rayjj wow. A 128Gb usb thumb drive for $29. 120Mb/s read, 20Mb/s write.17:27.18 
Robin_Watts would rather Samsung SM951 512GB M.2 PCI-e ACHI SSD17:32.41 
  2150Mb/s READ, 1500Mb/s write.17:33.28 
  Not $29 though :)17:34.26 
rayjj Robin_Watts: I agree that is better (for $337) IF you have an AHCI slot.17:34.31 
  PCIe 3.0 that is.17:35.18 
Robin_Watts Sorry, that's MB, not Mb.17:35.23 
  Yeah, that's the main OS drive on this new machine.17:35.49 
marcosw I'm thinking that the Samsung SM951 would make a great bcache drive.18:02.06 
Robin_Watts marcosw: There are 2 variants of it. an NVMe one and an AHCI one. The NVMe is better. And I have the wrong one, it seems.18:02.52 
  marcosw: If your motherboard doesn't have an M2 slot, then you can use a PCI-e riser card (make sure you get one that supports PCI-e M2's not just SATA ones)18:03.47 
marcosw it turns out my new mb does have an M2 slot and I was wondering what to put it in.18:04.41 
  afaict the sm951 is ahci and the sm950 is nvme. the nvme is about 10% faster reading but $20 cheaper on newegg. Why is the AHCI one more expensive? 18:08.30 
Robin_Watts No, there are both AHCI and NVMe variants of the SM95118:21.02 
marcosw okay18:21.19 
Robin_Watts http://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer-hardware/all/hard-drives-ssd/solid-state-drives-(ssd-pcie)128gb-512gb18:21.30 
  At least, according to scan.18:21.39 
marcosw it looks like you are correct, the nvme model is mzVpv512hdgl and the ahci model is mzHpv512hdgl (emphasis added). Why they chose the second letter of the standard to differentiate the two is anyone's guess.18:31.42 
  the other weirdness is that the nvme model is not for sale in the US, other than ebay. Lots of websites in the uk and germany will sell you one.18:32.34 
Robin_Watts marcosw: These are not designed as retail drives.18:33.21 
  They were designed for OEM use for building laptops etc.18:33.31 
marcosw I'm pretty sure that the ahci model is the same but plenty of places in the us sell it (most include oem in the description, so I'm presuming both the nvme and the ahci models are oem). Having bought both oem and retail hard drives the only difference I've noticed is that the oem ones don't include screws or cables :-)18:38.10 
Robin_Watts marcosw: Both are OEM, yes.18:38.57 
  OEM in europe = minimal warranty (1 year), anything else is down to the retailer.18:39.18 
marcosw I did finally find the nvme one on newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA12K3FG3566&cm_re=mzVpv512hdgl-_-9SIA12K3FG3566-_-Product18:39.23 
Robin_Watts In the US you only get 90 days anyway, right? :)18:39.36 
marcosw warranty? we don't need no stinkin' warranty!18:39.59 
Robin_Watts That seems expensive.18:40.17 
rayjj no moving parts. What could possibly go wrong ;-)18:40.18 
Robin_Watts And no battery.18:40.33 
  If they could just stop those bits toggling, they'd be golden.18:40.52 
marcosw actually on hard drives it used to be 5 years, then it was 3, and now it's 1 or 2 for most models. But I don't think that varies with oem vs retail. If anything retail is worse (i.e. it's one year for the drives inside external usb enclosures which afaik are only sold at retail).18:42.42 
rayjj btw, the spec on the Patriot USB drive was also 120MB/s (not Mb/s)18:46.14 
marcosw it is overpriced, but it's a third party seller and they charge $429 for the ahci version, so a $20 difference. newegg sells the ahci version for $369, so the nvme version should cost $389, which is closer to what scan.co.uk sells it for (but it's still more expensive over here, especially after adding 10% sales tax in california).18:47.49 
rayjj mvrhel: Can you review my patch (see the top of the logs for the URL). I'd like to commit it. Mainly I want to know if the commit msg is clear enough18:57.58 
mvrhel_laptop hi rayjj18:59.26 
rayjj mvrhel: You get the nod to review it since your fingerprints are all over that function (and it's transparency related)19:01.57 
mvrhel_laptop rayjj: it sounds reasonable to me. 19:03.48 
rayjj mvrhel: OK, thanks.19:04.02 
mvrhel_laptop Not sure I recall all the issues in the group pushes etc.19:04.13 
  I do recall the one issue we had was related to a mask which just had a different background value19:04.40 
rayjj mvrhel: SMask should be local w.r.t. groups19:04.42 
mvrhel_laptop and the background value goes beyond the size of the mask19:05.02 
  has an effect beyond the mask image19:05.15 
rayjj mvrhel: right, that's the one I found where you changed PDF14_SET_BLEND_PARAMS to be ALLBANDS19:05.22 
mvrhel_laptop not sure if that was the commit19:05.30 
  ok19:05.32 
rayjj you changed it from SAME_AS_PUSHCROP_BUTNOPUSH to ALLBANDS19:06.02 
  and the comment on that sounds the same as what you just said19:06.25 
mvrhel_laptop ok. for some reason I cant search for commits on http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=summary for something like 096e210219:07.26 
  how do I find that commit19:07.35 
  I just wanted to see what I had done19:08.03 
  anyway back to fooling with mupdf. I wanted to ask tor a couple questions. will try to catch him tomorrow morning19:08.58 
Robin_Watts mvrhel_laptop: Anything I can answer?19:13.34 
  http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commitdiff;h=096e210219:14.28 
  Just click on any commit, then paste the sha into the URL.19:14.51 
mvrhel_laptop Robin_Watts: maybe. Just want to make sure I am heading along the right path. I started with the command line program to create a pdf. Right now it doesn't do much except make a page and do some drawing into it and then save it out. My question is, are the text objects and images added to the page through the fitz library calls and then will that be written out by pdf_write_document or...19:16.37 
  ...am I suppose to be adding these at some different level than with fitz calls?19:16.39 
  Robin_Watts: thanks for the explanation on the sha in the URL19:16.51 
Robin_Watts What do you mean by "through the fitz library calls" ?19:17.11 
  If you mean, by making calls at the fz_device level, then, yes, that is where they SHOULD be made.19:17.33 
mvrhel_laptop well for example I can to fz_fill_path(ctx, dev, path, 0, &ctm, fz_device_rgb(ctx), yellow, 1);19:17.38 
Robin_Watts Right.19:17.43 
mvrhel_laptop ok19:17.48 
Robin_Watts That will make the path and add it.19:17.52 
mvrhel_laptop yes19:17.54 
  ok19:17.56 
Robin_Watts If you do fz_fill_text() then it'll add the commands to output the text into the stream.19:18.12 
mvrhel_laptop ok19:18.20 
Robin_Watts BUT it will set it up to use Helvetica.19:18.21 
mvrhel_laptop like wise19:18.22 
  fz_fill_image(ctx, doc->dev, image, &local_ctm, doc->opacity[doc->opacity_top]);19:18.24 
Robin_Watts I *think* images properly put everything into the resources tree.19:18.46 
mvrhel_laptop ok I understand. I need to add the font19:18.46 
  I just wanted to make sure there was not some other pdf object stuff that I was missing19:19.08 
Robin_Watts I think fonts create a font entry in the resources tree, but it's basically empty.19:19.11 
  No, I think you're on the right track.19:19.23 
mvrhel_laptop Robin_Watts: ok thank you19:19.36 
Robin_Watts no worries. I wrote the PDF output device (while on holiday in Malta).19:19.57 
mvrhel_laptop nice19:20.04 
Robin_Watts Or at least the first version of it. Paul has hacked on it since for the appearance stream stuff.19:20.26 
  So feel free to ask questions, and I can subject you to my dodgy memory :)19:20.45 
mvrhel_laptop ok. I am sure there will be a pile more as I move forward19:21.01 
Robin_Watts "What were you thinking?!"19:22.14 
mvrhel_laptop I doubt that19:25.21
