It did seem hard to connect with anyone in charge of maintenance in order to discuss patches or enhancements. At this point I have a fork of Tuxmath. I started with whatever I could download from the alioth site and made several modifications. I also found it really hard to get the latest tarballs from the alioth archive. It wants users to sign in. Some of the files I ended up taking down one at a time while viewing them. I've tested my code on Windows and Linux and it seems to run fine on both systems. I've cleaned up some code no longer used and fixed some memory issues. I've also fixed sdl_ttf support which didn't look like it had been used or tested in a long time. Guess most users are working with cairo instead of sdl_ttf. I added the option to remove the dependency on GTK+ libraries like librsvg. I can now use nanosvg instead for basic svg support. I have t4k_common building with SDL2 (or SDL 1.2.x). I have plans to get Tuxmath building with SDL2 as well, but haven't had time to work on them lately. It would be nice to combine some of what I've done back with the original project, but wasn't able to figure out who to contact to even suggest it. Sincerely, Laura http://www.distasis.com/cpp |

Will upload the code to the Internet and post the link as soon as I get SDL2 support integrated into Tuxmath (not just t4k_common). I've been rather busy at work and it's been encroaching on how much free time I can spend on Open Source projects outside of work lately. Sincerely, Laura |

I have those changes in what I'm working on but I've made a few modifications to them. David Bruce wrote: >Hi all - I would be *very* happy to know that tuxmath and tuxtype will be >maintained again. I did look at the tuxtype code. Personally, I'd like to see it using t4k_common in a way that's more parallel to what tuxmath is doing. One issue I noticed was that CheckFile in tuxtype had more functionality than T4K_CheckFile in t4k_common. So, some modifications to t4k_common to accommodate tuxtype might be necessary. Tuxtype uses CheckFile to check for valid directories as well as valid filenames while T4K_CheckFile doesn't do any directory checking and doesn't return a code to indicate when the argument is a directory. Another issue is where to store related files such as graphics, audio files, etc. t4k_common, tuxmath and tuxtype all have these types of files. I made some modifications in my code to store files under $PREFIX/share in a t4k_common directory. That works well to avoid duplication of tuxmath and t4k_common files and code. However, tuxtype has different files, some with the same name and path as tuxmath, so trying to combine those files as is under t4k_common would be an issue. One could have the code search for tuxmath files under a tuxmath subdirectory and tuxtype files under a tuxtype subdirectory, but then there will still be some files that are common to both and in t4k_common. It would be nice not to have to complicate the directory logic to look in that many places just to find the needed files. Not sure if I'm looking at the latest versions. Was having issues getting tarballs from github. I believe I downloaded tuxmath at 7ec075a879914d547183f0ed9520b0837d3e7d1a ( http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/tux4kids/tuxmath.git/commit/ ) and tuxtype at b89cde890f5cf6cd9e93aa1a3bf55ed413beb2f9 ( http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/tux4kids/tuxtype.git/commit/ ). I do have several other versions on my system as well, but I'm currently using those two as my starting points. Sincerely, Laura |

Should be fine as a starting point. The github mirrors are unofficial (AFAIK) but perhaps they have some work not pushed back to debian's. (cc) Deepak. Can you comment on the GitHub repos' status and give Laura and me (cheezmeister) access? Thanks! -B |

Hi Laura, thanks for your email -- if you are the most active person on Tux4Kids right now, why not become the new maintainer? That would be great, especially since you apparently fixed some important bugs. The maintainance does not need to be a burden, and you can form a team around you. I for one volunteer for maintaining the website for the next six months, by just fixing problems (not sure I can work on a revamp.) What do you think? -- Bastien |

To David? to this list? If David looks too busy to reply, I think Holger will be happy to add you as committer A couple of years ago, Nalin added accessibility for blind people to tuxmath and tuxtype, I think it is still on the accessibility branch not merged into master :/ Best Pere > > Sincerely, > Laura > http://www.distasis.com/cpp > > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > ----------- > Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications > Manager > Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple > tiers of > your business applications.
