hey dawood<br>
<br>
i've not seen any reply by andreas, so you might want to go for an
alternative -- and less straightforward -- workflow...<br>
<br>
in my previous mail, i've drafted a few hints, how the integration
of your work could happen.<br>
<br>
depending on your own ideas and/or other constraints you might want
to build upon it and find a good way to get your work into the
trunk!<br>
<br>
if you need help, just raise your hand :-)<br>
<br>
ciao<br>

hi dawood!<br>
<br>
nice to read about your progress!<br>
<br>
i think that for the global architecture andreas will have to give
you the ok...<br>
<br>
on the other side, the longer you wait with sending your patches,
the harder it is to<br>
<br>
- integrate them into the scribus trunk<br>
- make sure that they don't break anything<br>
<br>
i'm not skilled with CTL and i only know a bit of scribus code,
but i skimmed through the diff between your branch and andreas'
one and what i saw looks good...<br>
<br>
since andreas did not fork the scribusproject repository, i cannot
use github to check for the differences between his branch and the
trunk... so i cannot tell how different your code from the current
trunk...<br>
<br>
my suggestion is:<br>
<br>
- become confident that your changes do not break non-CTL
rendering on screen and in the PDFs (you can ask the community to
compile your version and try it with their documents)<br>
<br>
- create a new (github) repository that is based on scribus trunk
(as an example by forking scribusproject's github repository).<br>
<br>
- as far as possible, add branches that contain atomic changes to
the scribus code. describe each time why you are making the
changes and what is the final goal. and create patches that change
one thing at a time<br>
<br>
- you can also create one branch with your current code (but based
on trunk instead of avox's repository), so that it's easy to get a
full view of the differences between your current state and the
trunk. that way you/we also can check if your code can still be
applied to the current trunk!<br>
<br>
- start by sending patches that only contain new formatting for
the code (thinks like indents...)<br>
<br>
- continue with patches that do not change the logic of the code
(like adding new structures; of course you will have to explain
why you(or avox) are adding them and link to the places where you
will be using them so that the team can give you feedback).<br>
<br>
- then, if it's possible, create patches that add one feature at a
time. document what you have done and why.<br>
<br>
- since avox is "in charge" of the whole ctl project, you might
want to continue to work in your current repository based on his
work, and only use the new repository for creating the patches and
showing your work to the rest of the team / the rest of the
community.<br>
<br>
the alternative is to add one big patch to the bug tracker and see
what happens :-)<br>
it might be good enough!<br>
<br>
thanks for your precious work and have a wonderful evening<br>

<p dir="ltr">Hello developers.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I am working in ScribusCTL with guidance of
Andreas-VOX. I started to complete Andreas work and I almost
finished first stage which is box implementation. This stage
have a huge changes in Scribus code. I Think that when we
finish and stabilize box implementation will be very
difficult to merge that huge of change. Also I believe that
Andreas last merge was with r20300 so we already in not
updated version. Good to know that my work was to make
Andreas modifications work correctly without logic and
syntax error and my current state is as following. Scribus
now use boxes to draw glyphs on screen correctly and it can
export that text to pdf format. Although there still some
bugs that I am working on it right now such as TAB and point
to position. I am just wondering how can I proceed with that
unupdated version because when I finish I believe that
scribus will be much different from the version that I am
working on now. I notice that Andreas is very buzy and he
did not test my work. Now I need you to tell me if I should
start to send patches of my changes or I wait for Andreas to
test it and merge but in case I hope you can start test our
code and report bugs</p>
