I was speaking about the texworks authors (and not the texmaker one's) : this fork uses texworks code and i don't see any credits for the texworks authors in the "about" dialog. -- TexMakerX package for Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/670873 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 670873] Re: TexMakerX package for Ubuntu
Well, my texmakerx about dialog pays full credit to Pascal Brachet, the maker of texmaker. He is mentioned even before the texmakerx devs. -- TexMakerX 2.0 (SVN 1413) Using Qt-Version 4.6.2, compiled with QT 4.6.2 Copyright (c) (original TexMaker) 2004-2010 by Pascal Brachet TexMakerX: Benito van der Zander, Jan Sundermeyer, Daniel Braun --- And if you take a complete look at the reviews on the texmakerx' sourceforge page, you can see that there has been a lot of flaming and that there are lots of negative reviews that are the same as well. So I guess this is not really very meaningful. Well, I can just speak for me, but my comment for sure comes from texmakerx' fan. So far I guess you are completly right. Who else should write comments here to get texmakerx into Ubuntu's repo? People that do not like texmakerx and that just want to flame it? ;) So, to all others, if my opinion is not objective, go ahead and give texmakerx a try yourself. -- TexMakerX package for Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/670873 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 670873] Re: TexMakerX package for Ubuntu
This bug report looks like just advertising for an other soft (Is it a very friendly action?) Remarks : - the official presentation of this soft doesn't say clearly that texmakerx is a fork of texmaker and we don't know exactly what are the difference between the fork and the original program; - I've take a look at the sources of this fork : a very large majority of the code seem to come come from another softs (texmaker, texworks, kile, ...); - i don't see credits for the texworks authors in the "about" dialog; - there are no credits and reference to the GPL license in the head of some .cpp and .h files; - if the name "texmaker" has been copyrighted by the author of the original program (i don't know personally), using a name like "texmakerx" and a very similar logo could provide some legal troubles; - i can see that the editor is based on the qcoodeedit library and not on the standard Qt textedit component. According to the bug tracker on sourceforge, it seems that a lot of bugs really come from this library. - i take a look at the qcodeedit web page : this library seems to be abandoned since july 2009 and was designed for C/C++ source editing with only utf-8 and iso8859-1 encoding support. - i also take a look at the reviews on sourceforge : i could see the same positive review dozens of times... I think that this report and some comments from fan are not really objective.

This is schematic and extremely unfriendly opinion without any validity. We know this type "opinion" well. This is exactly what the author of the Texmaker spreads. He is piqued about the fork or I do not know. I do not care this person. TexMakerX is a really good software. And I do not want to "fight" you.

[Bug 670873] Re: TexMakerX package for Ubuntu
I use TexMakerX and Ubuntu 10.04 and can confirm the program is working fine. The developers respond to bug-trackers very fast and provide patches within a short time range. If you compare Olympus Tex' comment to some of the negative ratings on TexMakerX' sourceforge page http://sourceforge.net/projects/texmakerx/ you can see that he posted it there multiple times and copypasted it from there.

[Bug 670873] Re: TexMakerX package for Ubuntu
Texmakerx is a buggy (just take a look at the bug tracker) and unstable fork of the original Texmaker LaTeX editor. This fork is based on a buggy and unmaintained library (QCodeEdit). This fork uses intentionally almost the same name, the same logo and even the same version number to make confusion with the original program (which also provides interactive spell checking!!). Of course, forking is a right and can be a good thing, but using intentionally the same name and the same logo is not very compliant with the open sources rules. -- TexMakerX package for Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/670873 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
