[Gimp-developer] Do you plan to create a project on www.kickstarter.com?

2012-11-11 Thread Igor Demyanov
Good afternoon.
Thank all developers for the great work on Gimp.
Are there any plans Gimp-developers to create a project on kickstarter.com,
for more rapid development of the Gimp?

Paid development was discussed and rejected several times in the past,
most recently few months ago.

Nothing stops a motivated developer that is already part of the GIMP
development community, or hopes to get development integrated from her
or himself to seek funding through kickstarter for a specific feature.
This is however not something that GIMP as a community/project itself
wants to pursue or coordinate currently.

 Prospective GIMP patron:
 
 I would love to finish the Nohalo/Lohalo/Lojaggy/Loblur suite of image
 resamplers for GEGL, but I simply can't afford to do significant pro bono
 work these days. (Lohalo, which in my mind would become Nohalo, is already
 in, and for better or worse replaces Lanczos when using the GEGLized
 GIMP. Loblur would be the Lanczos equivalent that works for arbitrary
 warps.)
 
 I'm not expecting tons of money, just enough so I don't get poorer while I
 do the job.

Why not support some already present (but needing improving) features?

As far as I have understand the problems related to money for dev is the
risk that money could deviate some dev efforts from the main developing
community defined trails. 

So if someone gets money for some not crucial and not distracting
improvement I do not see any risk...

Yes, that would be a more precise definition.

[Gimp-developer] Cross-compile for and packaging/testing on Windows

2012-11-11 Thread Jehan Pagès
Hi,

I have tried native compilation (the GIT repo) in a Windows 7 VM; then I
tried to cross-compile.
I finally managed to complete the GIMP cross-compilation!
This email from the archive has been a great help by the way:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list/2012-May/msg00067.html

This kind of information should definitely be in a WINDOWS-DEV-README (or
whatever you wish to call it) file in our repo! That would prevent
potential developers to search for days on the web (and for myself in the
future maybe, because I probably, and hopefully, won't cross-compile
anything for quite some time).

Would it be ok to include such a file in devel-docs/ for instance?
I can provide an updated version for this procedure.

Personally, I think the wiki would probably be a better place for
stuff like that than the repo (but it's not really my call what goes
in the repo or not).

There's already a stub for compiling for/on windows:
http://wiki.gimp.org/index.php/Hacking:Building/Windows
If you'd like a wiki account, I'm told you should hop on IRC and
bother either LightningIsMyName or Alexia_Death.

If you need any more help with cross compiling, feel free to ask. A
few people, including myself, have up to date cross compiling
environments working, and wouldn't mind helping you (or anyone) out if
you run into any more problems.

I didn't know this page, though it is not much filled anyway. :-)
I personally does not care much *where* it is as long as I know this
*where*. Indeed I think it could be a little more centralized. Between
developer.gimp.org, the wiki, what is in the repo, etc. I am a little lost
and end up spending more time on search engines than in the doc. :-/

Ok I'll pass some time today or another day and ask for an account.

Thanks for the offer! I had so many problems one after the other that I
felt asking too much would be bothering everyone.
Anyway now I compiled it, well enough to be able to test my patch (that is
now in the main repo), so hopefully I won't need to bother with Windows for
quite some time.
But if I need more, I will ask on the list. :-)

I agree and just wrote a proposal in the gimp-web mailing list for this.

Kind regards,
