Debian (*.deb) Files
by Devyn Collier Johnson 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

Geany Dev Team: I will create a GTK3-based application that creates Debian (*.deb) files. Once it is done, I will upload the src to my website (DCJTech.info), and then, I will share the link to the application. Thus, we can more easily generate *.deb files for Geany. By the way, sometime this week or next week, I will add the Squirrel filetype to the wiki. -- Thanks, Devyn Collier Johnson DevynCJohnson(a)Gmail.com

More Contributions (DevynCJohnson)
by Devyn Collier Johnson 12 Nov '15

12 Nov '15

Geany Dev Team: I would like to provide more contributions to Geany. Is there an up-to-date "to do list"? For instance, I saw https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/742 ( Add AutoHotkey (*.ahk) Lexer to Geany #742); are there any objections to me adding additional normal/standard Scintilla lexers to Geany? Would you like me to manually update the "Credits" in the "About" window? I remember someone on GitHub in the Geany project (I do not remember who or where) mentioned something about adding WTFPL to the license templates. Is that still desirable? Are there other licenses any of you would like me to add in the future? I see that http://www.geany.org/Download/Releases has binary downloads for Windows and Mac OS X. Would the team like me to create pre-compiled x86-64 binaries (or *.deb files) for Ubuntu and Debian (for Geany v1.26)? I know how to make Debian files (*.deb) that work and flawlessly pass lintian's tests. I could also use "Alien" ( https://wiki.debian.org/Alien && http://joeyh.name/code/alien/ ) to make an RPM for Red-Hat-based distros. To reduce Geany's size and memory usage, does the team think it would be a good idea for me to compress the PNG files under https://github.com/geany/geany/tree/master/icons . By "compress", I do not mean "Gzip" compression. Rather, I can use GIMP to re-create PNG files that are smaller while still retaining the same image appearance and image quality. For instance, https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/master/icons/48x48/geany-save-all.png is 2565bytes while I "compressed" the image to 1222bytes ( http://dcjtech.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/geany-save-all-compressed.png ). This is a 52.4% size reduction (1343bytes smaller). Here are my calculations: 2565 - 1222 = 1343; (1343 / 2565) * 100 = 52.4% By the way, I spent some time studying Geany's src. I hope to reduce the amount of errors I make that relate to not updating related files (like when I committed those new licenses without changing the related files). If I make another error like that in the future, please feel free to let me know which additional files must be modified/updated. I am skilled at programming (especially C and Python3). My main issue with the Geany project is knowing how Geany's src is setup and what files need to be updated. However, now that I looked over most of the code, I hope to reduce such errors. Here is a link to additional information about me and my skills - http://dcjtech.info/about-the-crew/#devyncjohnson .

Miscellaneous Ideas
by Devyn Collier Johnson 11 Nov '15

11 Nov '15

Geany Dev Team: I have various ideas for Geany (that do not pertain to the file-extensions and language support) that I would like to share before I write or submit any code. Also, I found an issue on Geany.org. On http://wiki.geany.org/config/scripts/shell , there is a deadlink ( https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/trunk/devs/discomfitor/geany_tagger.sh ). By the way, thank you again, Matthew Brush, for the link to QML on Geany. I then found http://wiki.geany.org/config/start . Why are many of these "goodies" not in the mainstream Geany release? Unless I over-looked it in http://www.geany.org/Contribute/Developers , I assume discussion on plugin and color-scheme development are allowed in this mailing list, or is there a separate mailing list? *Ideas* I noticed that on Geany's GitHub page under ./data/templates, there are two license templates ("gpl" and "bsd"). These templates appear in the "Edit > Insert Comments" menu. I would like to add some more license templates and include them in the menu. Does anyone disagree with this idea? I would like to add agpl, lgpl2, lgpl3, gpl3, cc0, and others. To make it easier to add menu items, could Geany be re-programmed to dynamically create that menu based on the templates included in ./data/templates and ~/.config/geany/templates , thus allowing users to add licenses to their own systems? In my opinion, ./data/templates/gpl be renamed to ./data/templates/gpl2 to indicate that this is version 2 of the GNU General Public License. Also, should the menu entry explicitly indicate version 2? To improve the highlighting used by C source-code, could "bool" be added to "primary=" in ./data/filetypes.c? "bool" existed since C99 ( http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/ && https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_data_types#stdbool.h ). Also, what about "true" and "false" (lowercase) as seen in the <stdbool.h>? Currently, in Geany, "bool" looks like a variable (no highlighting) while other data-types use highlighting. True, "bool" is not in the "core" C-language without libraries, but it seems to me that "bool" should be added. Could more "Independent commands" and "Filetype commands" be added to the "Set Build Commands" window opened under "Build > Set Build Commands"? On my system, for C and Python, I have all of the entries filled, but I need to add more. I would also like to add additional "Build > Set Build Commands" commands to various languages. Are there any objections to me doing so? Obviously, I will share such ideas and apply the given feedback before submitting a PR. Soon, I will experiment with compiling Geany using various GCC compiler flags and parameters. When I perform such an experiment, would you like me to share my results about successful, unsuccessful, and optimized compiling options (with included benchmarks)? For instance, I have configured and compiled the Linux kernel src for my system, and I have seen significant improvements in memory usage, speed, boot-up time, etc.. Afterwards, I had become interested in compiling source code myself rather than using the pre-compiled *.deb files. I would like to see if I can make Geany faster and more light-weight (on RAM). Since I will be doing such an experiment, the Geany Dev Team may find the results of my experiment to be beneficial to the project. -- Thanks, Devyn Collier Johnson DevynCJohnson(a)Gmail.com

DevynCJohnson's Ideas (November)
by Devyn Collier Johnson 11 Nov '15

11 Nov '15

Geany Dev Team: I have some additional ideas that I would like to share with you all and get feedback before I implement the code. *./data/filetype_extensions.conf* - Adding "*.s03;*.s79;*.s82;*.s90;*.s;*.S;" to "ASM=" *.s## - GNU-style Assembly (GAS/AT&T) Capital "S" - Must be preprocessed Lowercase "s" - Does not require preprocessing The numbers appended to *.s indicate the assembly version or intended microprocessor *.s is also used by Common Intermediate Language (CIL) which looks like assembly The Linux kernel contains some "*.S" files such as https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/x… Sources: http://labor-liber.org/en/gnu-linux/development/extensions http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/List_of_file_extensions#S https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Intermediate_Language - Adding "*.ll;" to "ASM=" I suggested this before, but I want to ensure that the team is okay with this idea before I commit and PR LLVM assembly ( http://linux.die.net/man/1/llvm-as ) - Adding "*.i;" to "C=" *.i - C source code which should not be preprocessed http://labor-liber.org/en/gnu-linux/development/extensions - Adding "*.ii;" to "C++=" *.ii - C++ source code which should not be preprocessed http://labor-liber.org/en/gnu-linux/development/extensions - Adding "*.r;*.f15;*.F15;" to "Fortran=" *.r - Fortran source code which must be preprocessed with a RATFOR preprocessor http://labor-liber.org/en/gnu-linux/development/extensions *.f15 - Fortran 2015 http://fortranwiki.org/fortran/show/File+extensions - Adding "*.xaml;" to "XML=" XAML (Extensible Application Markup Language) This is a markup-language made by Microsoft XAML is used in .NET Framework 3 and 4 Mimetype = application/xaml+xml https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Application_Markup_Language https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc295302.aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/System.Windows.Markup.aspx *Previous Ideas* These proposed Python file-extensions are not officially mentioned in the Python Documentation. I shared this idea previously in the mailing list, but I would like to know if this idea is a possibility or a definite "no". However, some programmers use the extensions. - py2 and py3 Used to specifically distinguish Python3 code from Python2, especially when code is written that only works on one of the two versions. - pygtk Used to specifically show that a script contains PyGObject or PyGTK code, as opposed to Qt - pyqt Like pygtk, but used to specifically show that a script contains PySide or PyQt code After reading my explanation, what do you think about the suggested Python extensions? *Possible Ideas* These are ideas that I am thinking about (or would like to hear your thoughts) before I proceed. - Previously, I think mentioned adding XNA support. That idea will be delayed or never implemented because Microsoft discontinued XNA. In addition, I cannot find Microsoft's XNA specification. However, I would be willing to add XNA support if the Geany Dev Team thinks it would still be a good idea. - I would like to add support for Qt's QML (Qt Meta Language or Qt Modeling Language). It is a scripting language that resembles JavaScript ( http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmlapplications.html ). If the Geany lexers and parsers highlight this language well, would it be a good idea to add it? - Would it be a good idea to add Java bytecode files (*.class) to "ASM="? I do not know Java, so this may be a poor idea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_bytecode#Example - In my opinion, it would be a good idea to add support for sed scripts ( http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html#uh-20 && https://www.gnu.org/software/sed/manual/sed.html#Centering-lines ). They use the "*.sed" file-extension. However, I will need to experiment with the lexers and parsers. - In addition, I could add awk scripts ( http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Scripts/awk_print_squares.awk ). They use the "*.awk" file-extension. However, I will need to experiment with the lexers and parsers. - Add support for FASTA ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FASTA_format && https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FASTA && http://fasta.bioch.virginia.edu/fasta_www2/fasta_list2.shtml ). I am not sure how you will all feel about this idea. FASTA is a file format used to represent nucleotide and peptide sequences. True, it is not a programming language, and I do not know yet if any lexer or parser used by Geany will work with FASTA. However, with the rise of "open-source biology", Boolean Integrase Logic (BIL) gates, and biochemical-based transistors (/DNA and RNA transistors = transcriptors/), this may be an idea to consider. Also, such a feature would make Geany stand-out among other "traditional" IDEs. -- Thanks, Devyn Collier Johnson DevynCJohnson(a)Gmail.com

Introduction (DevynCJohnson)
by Devyn Collier Johnson 06 Nov '15

06 Nov '15

Geany Dev Team: I would like to contribute to Geany. I have a GitHub account ( https://github.com/DevynCJohnson ), and I have committed some changes to Geany. I love computers and programming. Geany is the IDE of my choice. More about me can be learned from my website ( http://dcjtech.info/about-the-crew/#devyncjohnson ). By the way, my website has "pop-under" ads; your computer cannot get "infect" nor is my server infected (yes, people have been concerned about the ads). I am experienced with computer programming, and I know several computer languages and compilers (I prefer GNU-GCC). I am Linux+ certified (one of y four computer certifications). I intend on contributing a lot to Geany, so please feel free to tell me if I am not following your coding and project standards. I will not be offended (I promise). Currently, I am wanting to add support for additional programming languages and file-extensions. After that, I would like to add additional license notices. Please feel free to give me tips and pointers pertaining to the project and the team's "culture". -- Thanks, Devyn Collier Johnson DevynCJohnson(a)Gmail.com
