adding new dirs to /pkg/. SPOLY3D code in yade.

 

Vaclav, do you recognize this error:

NameError: global name 'fullF' is not defined:
  File "/home/janek/tmp/ZZ/yade/SConstruct", line 543:
    allPlugs=yadeSCons.scanAllPlugins(None)
  File "/home/janek/tmp/ZZ/yade/yadeSCons.py", line 70:
    print "WARNING: file %s included from %s doesn't
    exist"%(m.group(1),fullF)

It happens when I create new directory in pkg/ dir.


I am thinking how to add polyhedral swept sphere (also called
minkowsky sum) code to yade. It's written by Fernando-Alonso. I guess
he should haver subscribed to our groups by now.

The problem is that by doing strict copy-paste I will be replicating
over and over again the data classes for handling Faces, Edges and
Polyhedrons.

If I will try to merge that code with Faces and Edges that we
currently have it will be non-trivial for Fernando to understand what
happened with his code. And I will need more time for that, than I
currently have (as it counts within the time "work for free" as I'm
not paid for this merge).

OTOH by doing strict copy-paste and just get it to work, I will be
doing what I loathe so much - bastardizing our code base even more.
That is just an insoluble problem of lack of time&money to work on
yade by itself. frustrating.

Fernando, can we show other yade developers your SPOLY3D code that we
are going to merge into yade? Have you already subscribed to our
mailing lists?
