Robin_Watts tor8: Are you on the same BA flight as us?10:16.02 
tor8 Robin_Watts: I think so. BA253 LHR-NAS on tuesday?10:16.21 
Robin_Watts tor8: Check in time then.10:16.37 
tor8 I just did :)10:16.47 
  gonna give sebras a ring and remind him too. his flight landed at 6.30 this morning so I expect he's crashed in his bed at home.10:17.19 
Robin_Watts tor8: Yeah, same as us. How many of the company are on the same flight? :)10:17.27 
tor8 you, me, chrisl and sebras that I know of. I think ken's flying another day.10:18.15 
Robin_Watts You/Sebras/Chris/Me/Paul/Joseph/Pete10:18.25 
  +5 guests.10:18.48 
tor8 so half the plane, really :)10:18.57 
Robin_Watts tor8: So... release...10:24.37 
tor8 Robin_Watts: yeah...10:24.49 
Robin_Watts sebras was pointing out that you hadn't updated the version numbers in the android and... somewhere else... stuff10:24.59 
tor8 maybe best if you do both the build and compression so we don't slip up like last time?10:25.13 
Robin_Watts tor8: Sure.10:25.28 
tor8 Robin_Watts: oh, right. the mobile viewers have version numbers hard coded in xml files.10:25.32 
  will fix.10:25.34 
  Robin_Watts: so, updated version bump on tor/1.10-release10:27.38 
Robin_Watts tor8: There is a "2015" date in README that needs updating too.10:28.38 
tor8 Robin_Watts: okay. fixed that too.10:30.02 
Robin_Watts lgtm.10:31.46 
tor8 http://mupdf.com/downloads/archive/mupdf-1.10a-source.tar.gz10:34.37 
Robin_Watts Rezipping now.10:56.13 
tor8 Robin_Watts: ugh. bug 697377.11:13.18 
  I guess the iOS release will need another patch.11:13.31 
  or we can fix this and redo the tarball and tag11:13.46 
  the windows release should thankfully be unaffected11:13.55 
  ugh. you can't even build without the Xcode developer account certification provisioning madness11:23.46 
Robin_Watts tor8: That's ios. I have no opinion on that.11:42.49 
  If you can trivially fix it, then we can retag and rebuild etc.11:44.11 
tor8 I have a fix I think will work11:51.32 
  but I'm not spending the rest of the day faffing about with apple's certification crap to test it11:52.46 
Robin_Watts tor8: Commit it - can't make it any worse. The bug reporter can test.11:54.26 
  Or we can get joseph/paul to test.11:54.45 
tor8 that would be helpful12:12.17 
Robin_Watts tor8: When you've done that, I have some commits on robin/master12:13.23 
tor8 Robin_Watts: I've pushed a release-1.10a branch to golden12:13.52 
  I guess joseph and paul are too busy packing to test the ios build now12:14.33 
  so I've made uploaded a source tarball to downloads for now12:14.54 
Robin_Watts Paul is packed, and I bet Yukko has packed for joseph.12:15.04 
tor8 the one you've built for windows is in /home/robin/mupdf-1.10a-windows.zip ?12:15.55 
Robin_Watts Yes,#12:16.02 
  tor8: Can you not build for the ios x86 simulator without needing a provisioning key ?12:16.57 
  Joseph has volunteered to do a build if we can point him at the source.12:17.14 
tor8 nope. can't even start compiling without Xcode complaining that I need a provisioning profile and linked developer account.12:18.00 
  Robin_Watts: http://mupdf.com/downloads/archive/mupdf-1.10a-source.tar.gz or origin/release-1.10a branch for joseph12:18.34 
crispx Hi13:06.55 
ghostbot Welcome to #ghostscript, the channel for Ghostscript and MuPDF. If you have a question, please ask it, don't ask to ask it. Do be prepared to wait for a reply as devs will check the logs and reply when they come on line.13:06.55 
crispx Hi, I have a pdf digital signed with a green checkmark, when converter to other format with gs appear a yellow question mark. It's possible convert with a signed pdf without signature validation, maintaining the green check mark ?13:07.13 
Robin_Watts crispx: No.13:07.57 
  What format are you hoping to convert to ?13:08.30 
crispx tiff13:09.31 
  or ps13:10.05 
Robin_Watts crispx: I suspect that the embedded appearance stream in the PDF is that of the yellow question mark.13:11.10 
  When you load it into acrobat, it probably checks the signature and replaces it with the green checkmark.13:11.35 
  gs doesn't understand digital signatures, so just goes with whatever the given appearance stream is.13:12.06 
  (This is just educated guessing on my part).13:12.15 
jogux tor8: the iOS build doesn't seem entirely happy :(13:16.59 
  MuHitView.m:57:62: error: too few arguments to function call, expected 5, have 313:17.25 
  linkPage[hitCount] = fz_resolve_link(ctx, doc, link->uri);13:17.26 
crispx I understand that gs don't have signature support, but what insert the yellow question mark ?13:17.41 
jogux tor8: plus it thinks the make generate hasn't been run, but it has afaics.13:18.06 
tor8 jogux: try changing it to fz_resolve_link(ctx, doc, link->uri, NULL, NULL)13:18.10 
  jogux: we've changed the generated file names around a bit13:18.22 
jogux ta. I'll try and fix the test for make generate too.13:18.26 
tor8 oh, hang on!13:18.43 
  take out my change to the make generate test13:18.57 
  that needs to go in a later commit, since we haven't done the renaming until after the release13:19.12 
jogux I was just thinking that the fix looks exactly like reverting your change :-)13:19.44 
tor8 jogux: yeah :)13:19.52 
Robin_Watts crispx: My guess would be that the yellow question mark is already in the PDF.13:21.28 
  Can you make the PDF available for us to look?13:21.35 
crispx no :( It's like in that image13:28.36 
  https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6a5-aKgC4DA/UmfsPJClQRI/AAAAAAAAAD0/PH1Z02aRjwk/s1600/How+to+Validate+e-Aadhaar+Letter+Signature.png13:28.45 
  in my case the after is before convert to tiff :)13:29.12 
jogux tor8: 3 commits on http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=user/joseph/mupdf.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/release-1.10a for review13:30.43 
crispx in gs code there logic to deal with signature and overlay 'Signature Not Verified' ?13:31.36 
tor8 jogux: thanks! I'll take those, squish the generate step fix with the broken commit and tag a 1.10a13:32.37 
jogux tor8: btw, you would hopefully find that (if you've upgraded to Xcode 8.1), all the iOS certificate stuff should pretty much just work. Apple make a whole bunch of stuff more sensible.13:32.52 
  tor8: great, thanks!13:32.57 
Robin_Watts crispx: Seeing a screenshot doesn't help.13:33.12 
  I need to see a PDF.13:33.19 
  You could try running the PDF through MuPDF to see what you get. I strongly suspect you'll get the "?" on that one too.13:33.45 
  That would confirm that it's in the file as a "?"13:33.58 
jogux tor8: (at least for development builds, anyway - we'll still need to mess around with the private signing for the appstore)13:34.21 
crispx yes I already open in MuPDF view and the '?' appear13:34.22 
tor8 jogux: I got a complaint I needed to link with an apple developer account13:35.25 
jogux tor8: ah, you'll need to login yeah.13:35.37 
tor8 Robin_Watts: http://mupdf.com/news any comments on the news update?13:43.24 
Robin_Watts tor8: Looks good to me.13:44.10 
tor8 Robin_Watts: thanks. so that's the release sorted for now. we should do proper android and ios releases too, but IMO we can do that in Bahamas :)13:44.45 
  time is running a bit short13:44.52 
Robin_Watts tor8: Yeah.13:44.55 
  tor8: Should the archives be up then?15:30.29 
tor8 Robin_Watts: they're up15:31.16 
t4nk938 Hello15:44.34 
ghostbot Welcome to #ghostscript, the channel for Ghostscript and MuPDF. If you have a question, please ask it, don't ask to ask it. Do be prepared to wait for a reply as devs will check the logs and reply when they come on line.15:44.34 
t4nk938 I am using Ghostscript to convert PDF to TIFF in my C# application. I seem to be running into a problem where I call on Ghostscript to convert a large number of PDFs to TIFF at some point it seems to fail. Part of my code is to delete the TIFF file after I'm done using it. What I realised after some debugging, is that it seems that Ghostscript keeps a lock on the TIFF file for up to 40+ seconds, which prevents me from deleting 15:47.43 
Robin_Watts t4nk938: On windows?15:48.06 
t4nk938 I'm not sure how to force the unlock of the file or to code a better way of bulk conversions. It's on Windows yes15:48.16 
Robin_Watts Are you starting a new gs for each conversion?15:48.44 
  If so, then gs *cannot* be holding on to the file past the end of execution.15:49.09 
  It's *far* more likely to be that something on your windows box is hooking the close file to do something like virus scanning or media scanning.15:49.40 
t4nk938 Yes, if there is more than one PDF in the folder, I will loop through each file15:49.52 
  That makes sense, I will try turning off Windows Defender and testing quickly15:50.54 
MacWinner is the mudraw tool deprecated? just noticed that i haven't had a new version since 1.7a22:55.30 
  i use it to render a PDF into PNG slides.. is there an alternative tool to do that now?22:55.48 
Robin_Watts MacWinner: Use mutool draw22:58.26 
  Same tool, just bundled into a binary with lots of other things.22:58.45 
  If you rename it to mudraw it should work too.22:58.53 
MacWinner oh22:59.15 
  thanks! so mutool parameters are exactly the same? or almost exactly the same except you need "mutool draw"22:59.36 
Robin_Watts almost exactly the same.23:00.29 
  They were identical, but we sanitised them a bit.23:00.45 
radistao Hi, Ghosts.23:06.44 
  could some ghostscript/postscript guru help me in the question:23:07.30 
  is it possible to call gs with postscript not as file, but as a string argument?23:08.04 
  more details here:23:08.14 
  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40855044/run-ghostscript-gs-with-post-script-as-a-command-line-argument-but-not-a-file23:08.14 
  following this doc: http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.18/Use.htm#Input_control23:09.11 
  -c should help me23:09.15 
  but i can't understand how to split the .ps file (13 lines) to those tokens23:09.38 
MacWinner thanks!23:20.40 
  when building on centos6, i get the following error near the end of make install: "/opt/rh/devtoolset-2/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/ld: build/release/libglfw.a(posix_time.o): undefined reference to symbol 'clock_gettime@@GLIBC_2.2.5'"23:59.41 
  i was able to build 1.9a without any problems23:59.53
