malc_ tor8: around?10:48.11 
tor8 morning10:48.17 
malc_ tor8: hi, are comments allowed inside attribute lists in xml?10:49.18 
tor8 you mean <tag foo="bar" <-- hi! --> one="two"> ?10:49.55 
  I doubt it10:49.58 
malc_ aye10:50.06 
  both xmllint and xmlwf do complain about it..10:50.15 
  sigh.. and i have implemented them and wanted to bitch about your code not being conformant enough..10:50.41 
tor8 I don't think it's allowed, and I doubt many parsers can handle it even if it is10:50.42 
  :)10:50.53 
malc_ mine (well yours in ocaml) can....10:51.00 
  to be reverted in a jiffy10:51.04 
  that's 25 deletions for me.. cool10:52.07 
  tor8: http://repo.or.cz/w/llpp.git/blob/3dcaa14870c6a3768421b142bbf43b48c5b5100d:/parser.ml i made it sax like though...10:52.48 
chrisl Robin_Watts: around?14:47.42 
Robin_Watts just.14:49.37 
chrisl Only a quicky: is the GoDaddy account really unlimited for downloads?14:49.59 
Robin_Watts I get picked up in 40 mins :)14:50.02 
  chrisl: Seems so.14:50.07 
chrisl So we might be able to deprecate the wisc site with that in place.14:50.29 
  Robin_Watts: thanks, I'll let you get back to last minute packing confusion ;-)14:52.33 
Robin_Watts Just waiting for steam to finish downloading so I can pack the laptop.14:52.54 
chrisl Poxy, stoopid google - they really are the new Micro$oft :-(14:59.13 
Robin_Watts Right. powering down. See y'all from hotter climes. Or heathrow.15:03.26 
alexcher Our mirror of OpenJPEG repository picks just one directory and leaves out all configuration files. Who can comment on this?15:11.48 
henrys I didn't know we had a mirror, I think it should just be sucked into gs like casper.15:19.50 
  s/casper/jasper15:22.54 
chrisl henrys: any objections to deprecating the wisc site for Ghostscript/GhostPDL downloads?15:25.38 
henrys as long as we are braced to handle the downloads.15:26.27 
  where does the download live these days?15:26.43 
chrisl GoDaddy, which is allegedly unlimited bandwidth15:27.06 
henrys no objections here.15:27.26 
  is the web page ready?15:27.58 
chrisl It's up.15:28.07 
henrys login, password and all that stuff...15:28.14 
  I guess a login isn't needed.15:28.32 
chrisl Yes, although currently only I know the user name and password15:28.37 
  Yes, for the commercial release15:28.52 
henrys I don't think there is any security problem with sending it plaintext to staff@artifex.com15:29.52 
chrisl I was going to do so, but the current username and password are also on casper:/home/customer/access.txt15:31.38 
  Grr, my ssh sessions keep dropping......15:32.12 
henrys so just the download is at godaddy right? - we can track stats on ghostscript to see what is getting pulled right?15:52.55 
  chrisl ^^^15:53.02 
chrisl henrys: I guess so, I didn't setup the godaddy account, and I don't have full access to it.15:53.30 
henrys tor8:do you remember the errors/error.h "throw/rethrow" history? Wast there some object to just putting the contents gserror.h in gserrors.h? Most of gs already include gserrors.h - this would save adding an include every time we want to use the new (not so new) api.15:57.16 
tor8 I believe it was stefan who added the throw/rethrow error tracing functions16:28.24 
  I don't know what reason he had for putting them in another file16:28.39 
henrys thanks16:34.53 
tor8 I think we should merge them, if you want my opinion. fewer header files with similar functionality can only be a good thing.16:39.43 
henrys chrisl:it looks like you were the last to poke around in gsiodev.c - see around line 107 it would seem we are freeing table[-1] reading the code.16:39.55 
  tor8:yes I'll do that.16:40.10 
chrisl henrys: strange. I didn't change that, but I'll look at it tomorrow - it surely looks wrong!16:42.06 
henrys okay no big deal just happened across it.16:42.48 
  chrisl:also your commented hack doesn't work, if you fail at the "first goto fail" presumably, there was a memory problem which would prevent you from putting the mem pointer in the table in the first place.16:51.08 
  this is all fairly petty since it is not something we can recover from anyway.16:51.44 
chrisl henrys: if we fail at all in there, the point in question is NULL'ed and we'll never get to the finalize that needs that extra pointer.16:53.35 
  s/point/pointer16:53.45 
henrys I don't see where the table is null'd16:58.07 
chrisl Line 109: libctx->io_device_table = 0;16:58.30 
henrys I am talking about a crash in the finalize procedure for the gs_free_object on line 108.17:00.07 
chrisl Oh, I didn't think the finalize would be called, there. The memory pointer assignment can be moved above the loop, then.17:01.42 
henrys chrisl:I'd like to think about how to get rid of the hack, the "FIXME".17:03.13 
chrisl henrys: I'd like to pass a memory pointer into the finalize method so sort that out.17:03.55 
henrys that does seem like what should happen.17:05.04 
chrisl henrys: I just didn't want to be making that many edits immediately before a release.17:05.50 
henrys well it does have a "FIXME" so if you've got more important stuff leave it.17:07.45 
chrisl henrys: no, it was always my plan to sort it out soon after 9.04 was done, the next couple of weeks or so.17:08.39 
  henrys: one problem I had forgotten about wrt the release is changing the IRC message to say 9.04.17:30.42 
henrys it is at 9.02 now - leave it for ray.17:32.33 
chrisl We'll have to - I don't think we ever worked out how to make the rest of us permanently able to change it......17:33.17 
henrys next move should be to simply remove it.17:34.17 
chrisl that would seem wise17:35.56 
  Right, I'm done for the day - I will keep an eye on mail and the IRC logs for a few hours in case anything important comes up regarding the release17:37.43 
henrys robin_watts_mac:heathrow?17:44.17 
robin_watts_mac yeah.17:44.29 
  the joys of Terminal 3.17:44.35 
henrys have a good time!17:44.51 
robin_watts_mac thanks, I'll try.17:45.20 
azv4 how do I navigate filesystem from gs prompt?18:42.22 
alexcher azv4: you can create, open, and delete files and enumerate directories. That's all.19:25.33 
azv4 Id like to open a file, but I do not know how to navigate to the file to open it, do I simply use the full path from C:/../..?19:27.17 
alexcher (c:/full/path/to/file.txt)(r) file19:29.27 
  (relative/path/to/file.txt)(r) file19:30.02
