Re: [Bf-committers] Blender 2.59 release AHOY!

2011-09-01 Thread Kevin Roy
Hello,

While I was packaging this last Blender version for Debian, I noticed
there is no svn tag for 2.59 . I use this tag in my
preparation-for-build script to create the upstream tarball.

Cheers

 Hi devs,

 I've been keeping an eye on the tracker for new reports since our
 2.59RC release and am happy we don't have any real show stoppers.

 Thomas committed the splash, we have version bumped so think its time to 
 build!

 Since there is some secret to tagging trunk, lib  extensions that
 Nathan isn't around to impart, for now just build from revisions.

 Trunk: r39263
 Extensions: r2241

 I'll be available tomorrow to help with getting the uploads copied to
 the download dir and update changelog  typo3 pages.

 Really happy with this release :), thanks to everyone for you're 
 contributions!

[Bf-committers] Bug #27167 : blender crash with illegal hardware instruction on amd x86 + call for testers

2011-04-26 Thread Kevin Roy
Hi everyone,

Some Debian users reported [1] a crash with blender (from 2.53 to
early 2.57) on amd 32bit computer because of some SSE2 instructions
enabled.
I've already reported this on #27167 and I give a shot in the ML.

One user sent the following patch that seems to fix both build and
execution on this kind of architecture :

From what I've investigate so far, SSE2 is tested only for
RAY_OPTIMIZATION however execution failed in RNA_def_property_range().

-- snip --

I'm suspecting a gcc bug but I'm maybe completely wrong :) and I'm not
familiar with this kind of bug involving specific hardware
instructions.
I can't reproduce the bug because I don't own any amd computer and it
makes my investigations harder. Therefore I'm looking for testers or
builders which are running a Debian Sid or are familiar with -msse(2)
in gcc.

Meanwhile, I will take a look at the wiki page about buildbot
configuration from Sergey.

It is the first thing I checked when testing a new build on my laptop ;)
and it is checked. I've deleted my .blender directory but it didn't 
solve it. I think I'll have to investigate Ghost code to debug keys.

Re: [Bf-committers] 2.55 beta AHOY!

2010-10-29 Thread Kevin Roy
Hi Blender Developers,

Ubuntu/Debian builds of 2.55 are available at
  http://launchpad.net/~kiniou/+archive/ppa
for lucid, maverick and natty.

Debian code is hosted at
  http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/blender.git;a=summary
and I've uploaded source package to mentors.debian.net.

About build infos, blenderplayer is back but blender still lacks 
opencollada support due to inexistant package in the debian world. 
Packaging OpenCollada is on my TODO list :) .

Critics are welcome ;)

PS: I've quickly tested on my laptop and can't get the 3button emulation 
(aka WIN+ALT+LMB) work. Is this a known bug?

 Hi release builders!

 Over 340 bugfixes and more than 760 commits to trunk/ since 2.54 beta.
 I've committed new splash, bumped versions and danced the tagging dance.

 Please checkout tags/blender-2.55-release at r32738 and start your
 building engines. Notify me when you have your builds ready.

 Note: make sure you build against Python 3.1.2 and for OpenCOLLADA use
 r771 or later from their SVN.

Re: [Bf-committers] [Bulk] Re: Release AHOY, rev 30579 - lazy bum warning

2010-07-22 Thread Kevin Roy
Hi,

I've successfully built and uploaded the Debian/Ubuntu package to my
Launchpad PPA :
https://launchpad.net/~kiniou/+archive/ppa

Because Blender is currently orphaned in Debian, I'm looking to adopt
the package and therefore I'm open to suggestion/criticism about the
package itself.

You will probably have to manually tell aptitude/apt-get to install it
because 2.5 is lower than 2.49 in apt world. Seems quite logical and if
I cannot find a fix, I will rename it into 2.50-beta.

Anyway this is a great release and blender works like a charm on my
linux desktop with ati opensource drivers. Thanks!!!

Cheers,

 Hi,
 
 That's totally cool! All the main builds are in now. There is still  
 about a couple of hours work for me to have the release complete,  
 which I'll do in the morning. In the mean time the mirrors will rsync  
 overnight too.
 
 Thanks,

 Hi, great initiative.
 
 But some interrogations are bugging me:
 
 Blender is not marked as Orphan in Debian:
 http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/orphaned
 

Yeah it's now in Intend To Adopt status and I'm working on it with
another debian maintainer. But so far the status is more likely
Orphaned and I'm not yet a debian maintainer.

 Cyril Brulebois is referenced as the maintainer and there are even
 2.50 experimental builds (not so fresh, but still)
 http://packages.debian.org/experimental/blender

Yeah ... changelog are more snapshot of life and you might want to
take a look at 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=570053

 
 Anyway you might want to send him your package: once included in
 experimental you will get more testers.
 
Yes, it's planned ;)

Re: [Bf-committers] Installation/file paths

Hello,

When I was digging into the Debian package for blender 2.5, I found the 
following patch to move temporary files into the $HOME/.blender instead 
of /tmp :

It has been applied in this package build since 2.46 but I did not try 
it in 2.5 ... maybe it still works.

This proposal looks great but I have just a question about where and how 
those paths are stored, in .blend or text file?
