Could you make a patch for the 'features_preview' branch? Some instructions: http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/code/contributing-to-linuxcnc.html Plus: Seb has offered access: http://www.mail-archive.com/emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net/msg15305.html Plus: developers on this list and irc are alays helpful with git. > ... > I am happy it is in your hands now and you will bring it to maturity.

I'm not able to maintain code I'm not familiar with -- my effort has been to get 'features' incorporated into the LinuxCNC git tree and working for both RIP and DEB builds so that its development and testing can continue and result in a merge to 2.7. There are some items that probably need attention before the 'features_preview' branch is merged to 2.7. My notes are at: http://www.panix.com/~dgarrett/stuff/features_preview.txt Summary: 1) The script 'engrave-feature' would need a license revision in order to be incorporated into LinuxCNC. The author(s) would have to do this. (I am sure that Seb or other developers can provide guidance) 3) If engrave-feature is incorporated, a method to provide .cxf fonts needs to be implemented. (they could be included in a new directory share/features/ if the licenses are appropriate) 3) The modified truetype-tracer (tt-tracer in 'features') needs attention. It could be provided separately as a deb or incorporated into the LinuxCNC build process with src/ and src/Makefile additions. Chris Radek may wish to comment. 4) There is some indication that using the python module 'webbrowser' for opening a file editor may not work on all platforms supported by LinuxCNC. Alternatives for opening files for editing could be considered. ([DISPLAY]EDITOR for instance). 5) Versioning the 'features' app within LinuxCNC is somewhat unconventional (ref: features.py: update_check_all()). The RIP and DEB builds seem to be working but if there are problems I will continue to help. dewey -- Dewey Garrett ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
