Hi Denis, it is definitively the right way to proceed with the ETL module. Since long time ago there is that idea around but never get done due to lack of time.There is one other person that wonders the same on the forums [1] and our growing starter coder Diego Barrios (aka eldruin) is proposing to replace some of the ETL libraries with its corresponding Boost libraries [2].
Great! I guess I'll contact them in the forums then. I might be able to help.
So we gladly would accept your patches and commits on this matter. Please, start by sending some patches to sourceforge (that would allow us to be sure that you can build and are initially used to Synfig code) and then we would open you a read/write account on the repository. Alternatively you can use other git host and clone the sinfig repo to later send us a pull request. Count with me for the guidance of the work.
Great to hear.
We are just submitted the apply form to Google Summer of Code and although we haven't included that task on the Ideas list it can be proposed by yourself if you apply as student (if you're a student of course!).
Nice. I'll think about that. (I am, in fact, a student.)
In my opinion, the idea would be to proceed this way: 1) Gradually replace the ETL libraries by its corresponding Boost ones at synfig-core and synfig-studio. 2) For those that doesn't have correspondence, integrate them into synfig-core module. 3) Deprecate the ETL module and remaining code and clean up the folders. 4) Update the build scripts and the documentation.
Sounds sensible.
Regarding to reference counting, if you have experience on this we'd be so glad to listen to you and apply your proposal if it works better. We still seeing messages telling us that some reference counted objects still being pending to be deleted once the program is closed. We plan to ship a minor release with some bugfixes on April first, so your proposal should probably go to a later one. It is also a very good news to listen that someone is willing to rescue the Debian package for Synfig. We publish non offical debian packages for general pupouse but it is much better to have updated packages for the distribution repositories.
Yes, I hope this works out. I am just now reading through all of the Debian packaging documentation and trying to wrap my head around the whole thing so that I can make a difference here.
Welcome to the synfig community!
:) Regards, Denis
