[ft-devel] problems with CVS-git conversion

2009-03-03 Thread Werner LEMBERG
Folks, the `empty log message' problem in the conversion from CVS to git still bites me. It is far more trickier than expected :-( The steps I've suggested in a previous mail (using parsecvs, then `git format-patch' `git am') works in principle. However, tags created by parsecvs are lost.

[ft-devel] ABI breakage in 2.3.8 (bad bad bad !!)

2009-03-03 Thread David Turner
Hello, I'm currently updating the Android FreeType sources to the latest CVS. In doing so, I noticed something that unfortunately escaped me before that: we added a new field to a publicly declared structure, thus breaking the ABI. More specifically, the declaration of PS_FontInfoRec in

I would have used an alternative approach if I had been informed that adding a new field to the public structure was not permitted. I also thought that it works without problems. Sigh. I *hate* ABI. David B., any chance to provide a fix? Werner

Hi David, that's ok, but I'm surprised this didn't get caught. The problem is even worse than I thought because PS_FontInfoRec is also used to define the fonts_infos in the PS_BlendRec structure (I don't think we have any client code that accesses this though). I have submitted a fix to the CVS

I have submitted a fix to the CVS repository (which wasn't too trivial). Thanks. I'll release a new FreeType version probably in a week or so. Werner ___ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org

2009/3/3 Werner LEMBERG w...@gnu.org Would it make sense to first convert to GIT then later change the commit messages there. I tried that, and it doesn't work properly. Ah, can you tell me which problem exactly ? I could do the migration myself. By the way, I started documenting it at

It'd be nice if we could remove the 2.3.8 packages from the Savannah server. I'll try to do that. 2009/3/3 Werner LEMBERG w...@gnu.org I have submitted a fix to the CVS repository (which wasn't too trivial). Thanks. I'll release a new FreeType version probably in a week or so.

Werner, if you are overworked, I'd like to prepare the release myself. I can afford time, fortunately, so please check whether everything is in shape, and I'll do a release in a few days. It seems that you have some spare time right now -- may I ask that you walk over the open Savannah bug
