Presentation and S.O.S

Good evening.

I am Michael Uplawski, developer with some C++/Qt-, and other background. For some days already, I try to understand how I could contribute to the LibreCAD development.

Originally from Germany, I am living in France now where I try to make the "transition" to a more ecological life-style. This is a rather agriculture-oriented move and includes many things; most are not IT-related. However, free software must help me to keep my head over water for some time and anyway.., it may be the only software worth talking about, before long.

So, LibreCAD. I used first QCad, then LibreCAD to design my plan for our new house (which will be a GREB-construction, i.e. wood/straw). In the process, I found some oddities and thought I could take a look at the code. So I did and now I feel like contributing code, but also documentation and, -why not-, translations to the project.

Alas.

Having just registered to the mailing list... or nabble (what is it?), I am a little shocked to find a multitude of communication-channels being used by the LibreCAD-community. As for the last days I tried to get warm with GIT and failed, I concentrated on that platform and solely posted two or three issues there.

At the same time, I worked a little on my own fork in order to understand the project and maybe contribute on a rather modest level.

This evening, as I write this message, I am at a complete loss. GIT will not let me "fetch upstream" and I cannot really see a way to securely publish any of my changes. With the new knowledge gained from looking at the many threads on this discussion-... "platform" I take, that my understanding of the project had all been wrong in the first place.

... You may be into this for months and longer but should consider a guide to "contributing to LibreCAD" much more concise than the hints already given in different places or on diverse occasions... But that is for the future and you will find a way.

For now it is just this: What shall I do? ;-)

TY.

Michael Uplawski.

It would be an honour for me, if I could be of help. Let me however
dwell on github and the command-line, first. See what I do and the
result of it:
----------
michael@drusus:~/prog/LibreCAD_Fork$ git remote add upstream
git://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD.git fatal: remote upstream already
exists. michael@drusus:~/prog/LibreCAD_Fork$ git fetch upstream
github.com[0: 207.97.227.239]: errno=Connection timed out
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out)
michael@drusus:~/prog/LibreCAD_Fork$
----------
So much for the fetch upstream.

I found code that must be changed to be future-proof and bugs, one of
which had already been fixed yesterday: the missing wildcard in the
file-filter.

I thank you. ;-)

Thanks to LibreCAD, I can get my construction-permit and do not have to
explain to an architect what GREB means or how I want to live on a tiny
space like that...

Cheerio,

Michael.

Hi Michael,

let's start git part from fresh,

$ cd
$ mkdir -p ~/tmp
$ rm -rf LibreCAD
$ git clone git://github.com/dxli/LibreCAD.git
$ cd LibreCAD

$ git remote add upstream git://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD.git

$ git fetch --all
$ git checkout -f -b upstream upstream/master
$ git branch -a

here, I only use my repository as an example, you should replace it with your own repository.

Thanks,

Dongxu Li

So, I re-created my account and can fork (as before), clone (as before), fetch upstream (new) and commit changes (new).

Only, my changes have not shown up anywhere during the last two days, when I access my github-repository either on the web, or by calling git in a terminal. For now, I have decided to concentrate on other duties and do some reading-work on other subjects. I can wait.

Cheerio.

All I need to know now is, where I see my changes and ..., okay, I see

For exercise, I will just do that, create a pull request and observe
what happens.

Sorry, I am accustomed to Subversion and even CVS and was expecting
more intense feedback from github.

Thank you anyway.

Michael.

Hi again,

it's 1:32 am here and this is just to confirm my interest before I go
to bed.

If I understand "offset tools" correctly as a means to duplicate or
shift elements of a non-atomar object in the direction of one
coordinate, and even when given a 3D-form, then what would be different
from the "parallel-line" feature, which is already existent?

Thank you. Even if I am erring above, the RS_ActionDrawLineParallel and
its context should give me some understanding of what will be needed.

In summary, maybe a collaborative approach would be better than me
trying and find out where I have been wrong afterwards. ;-) On the
other hand, if the feature is not urgent, I might like to
do the research.

Only one provocative question at the end of my day: in the LibreCAD-era,
will the code be commented in plain English ?

Have a good night all,

Michael.

Hi,

I'm setting up the GUI framework. We need a new icon (i'm borrowing res/extui/arcspara.png). I usually draw icons in inkscape, then, export to PNG, but keep .svg icons in

desktop/graphics_program_icons/

Please note this action is empty and doesn't do Offset yet. I will keep updating it.

Thanks,

Dongxu Li

If I understand "offset tools" correctly as a means to duplicate or
shift elements of a non-atomar object in the direction of one
coordinate, and even when given a 3D-form, then what would be different
from the "parallel-line" feature, which is already existent?

Thank you. Even if I am erring above, the RS_ActionDrawLineParallel and
its context should give me some understanding of what will be needed.

In summary, maybe a collaborative approach would be better than me
trying and find out where I have been wrong afterwards. ;-) On the
other hand, if the feature is not urgent, I might like to
do the research.

Only one provocative question at the end of my day: in the LibreCAD-era,
will the code be commented in plain English ?

Have a good night all,

Michael.

Hello Dongxu,

I am quite ashamed to have raised questions and announced activity but
since did not contribute anything worth talking about to LibreCAD.

The belated answer to your mail has the same reasons as my relative
absence from anything "IT" during the recent months. A lot has to change
and will change in my life between today and summer 2012 and I am
without experience in most of the activity involved: Buying real-estate
in France (I am German), moving another few hundred kilometres, plans
for construction and renovation. In my original concept I have omitted
too many details, which now render most of it obsolete, like waste-water
disposal and the fact, that the region where I want to live is lacking
craftsmen, which are qualified in ecological construction.

Apart from the time that I wasted on preparatory work which completely
fails its objective, the paralysing effect of any new day's revelations
is a major obstruction to my programming activities.

This is something that I would probably be completely apt to do, code-wise.

I thank you very much for your proposition, but I am too afraid to find
myself detracted. None of the tasks which I adopt can have a pre-defined
schedule, as I am downright unable to obey it, nor to follow any defined
mode of operation for a considerable time.

I have to decline the offer and prefer to stay a silent attendee of the
project for a while.

Have a good time.

Michael.
