| henrys | mvrhel_laptop: just got back | 02:24.18 |
| mvrhel_laptop | henrys: will talk with you about this bug tomorrow | 05:13.15 |
| henrys | kens: why's till interested in the tiff file name bug? Looks like a windows user, is this a problem on linux? shouldn't be. | 15:13.38 |
| kens | Till isn't the use rassigned it as a CUPS bug, incorrectly | 15:14.05 |
| henrys | ugh I've got to redo all the pcl docs with the new build system maybe it is time to merge all this in one doc/ directory. | 16:33.35 |
| | merge pcl and gs docs in one folder | 16:34.13 |
| chrisl | henrys: I'll be updating Make.htm for the new build setup, so I was going to cover the PCL and XPS in that | 16:34.44 |
| henrys | chrisl: okay great, then I'll figure out what to do with the pcl docs when that is done. I'd like to get rid of it entirely ... | 16:36.09 |
| | chrisl: I guess that should be near top of the list as release time is nearing and we'll want folks to review. | 16:46.42 |
| chrisl | henrys: It is top of my list - the only reason I haven't done it is because what I *thought* was a simple bug has turned into a can'o'worms :-( | 16:49.28 |
| henrys | chrisl: understood that reminds me mvrhel_laptop also has a can of worms | 16:51.08 |
| mvrhel_laptop | henrys: yes | 16:53.21 |
| | so I have to admit it is not clear to me exactly what is going on | 16:54.15 |
| henrys | mvrhel_laptop: can you reproduce it? | 16:54.41 |
| mvrhel_laptop | however in gx_default_copy_alpha, at line 380 one one point, the call to code = (*dev_proc(dev, get_bits)) (dev, ry, lin, &line); does a get_bits on a pattern accumulator and is getting bits that have not been initialized | 16:55.42 |
| | and then this cascades down into the rest of the stuff | 16:56.10 |
| | for calculating the alpha | 16:56.31 |
| | had to catch it on the 2069th call to this function | 16:56.53 |
| | and it is repeatable | 16:57.01 |
| | but I have no idea if the read or the write into the buffer is the issue | 16:57.38 |
| | as I can't quite pull this thing all apart in addition to having trouble understanding how the AA code works exactly | 16:58.09 |
| henrys | memento? | 16:58.44 |
| mvrhel_laptop | that may be useful | 16:58.56 |
| | let me pursue that today | 16:59.44 |
| | this morning fooling around getting gproof hooked up to gsview | 17:00.01 |
| henrys | mvrhel_laptop: It does sound like we need a simpler file | 17:01.48 |
| mvrhel_laptop | yes I agree | 17:02.09 |
| henrys | maybe help from kens in simplifying the postscript | 17:02.19 |
| mvrhel_laptop | let me take a wack at it and if I have trouble I will pull him in | 17:02.49 |
| henrys | okay | 17:03.00 |
| mvrhel_laptop | oh that reminds me, kens had passed a customer bug on to me | 17:03.16 |
| | 696120 sort of an odd case since the file has one of our profiles in it. It must have come from pdfwrite at some point | 17:06.36 |
| chrisl | mvrhel_laptop: I wouldn't be surprised if people are using our profiles with other tools just because they are probably some of the few profiles available on almost all Linux distros. | 17:11.59 |
| mvrhel_laptop | chrisl: that could be | 17:12.20 |
| chrisl | mvrhel_laptop: I've seen quite a lot of PDFs with our profiles embedded that don't *look* like they originated with pdfwrite | 17:13.15 |
| mvrhel_laptop | interesting | 17:13.26 |
| | ok volleyed that one back to ken for consideration of what I think we should do | 17:28.52 |
| | now back to gproof for a bit | 17:29.05 |
| rayjj | mvrhel_laptop: my can of worms is getting less slimy, I found that a the fast HT code wasn't taking screen_phase into account. This is going to be one large commit with lots of minor differences | 23:11.02 |
| mvrhel_laptop | fun! | 23:11.19 |
| rayjj | mvrhel_laptop: do you have any interest in reviewing the patch ? | 23:11.22 |
| mvrhel_laptop | rayjj: I can take a look but I don't know if I will be able to follow it all that well | 23:11.42 |
| | rayjj: by the way, I took the sax to another place and they are going to fix it up | 23:12.08 |
| | about $250 | 23:12.18 |
| rayjj | mvrhel_laptop: oh, really. I did send you a refund, didn't I | 23:13.45 |
| mvrhel_laptop | rayjj: no but I thought that was if I was going to send it back to you | 23:14.32 |
| | I decided to check at one other place | 23:14.40 |
| rayjj | mvrhel_laptop: oh, sorry. I thought I had, it was so long ago. | 23:15.26 |
| mvrhel_laptop | np | 23:16.43 |
| rayjj | mvrhel_laptop: given that it was bad, do you want a refund ? | 23:18.32 |
| | (you thought you were getting it for $220 and now it's going to cost you another $250) | 23:19.10 |
| | the cluster had about half the nodes go down (presumably marcosw's garage) right at the end of my run. It had to re-run more than half the jobs on the other nodes :-( | 23:20.31 |
| mvrhel_laptop | rayjj: oh for some reason I was thinking it was $120 and that seemed fair as the guy at the shop said it was certainly worth that. I am fine with what ever you want to do | 23:21.39 |
| | Does anyone know when robin returns? | 23:29.28 |
| rayjj | mvrhel_laptop: he mentioned it on IRC on the Aug 10th, "we start our journey home laster today. back to tahiti, then back to LAX/LHR tomorrow night" so he should be there tomorrow ? | 23:34.43 |
| mvrhel_laptop | that makes sense | 23:34.55 |
| | Forward 1 day (to 2015/08/13)>>> | |
