oh hey I am trying to import an SVG file and I need it to either be centered or have a corner at the origin so I can resize it. But if the "page" is bigger than the "path" I get something that doesn't sit at the origin. Is there some way around this (other than telling people they have to reduce the page to the size of the contents)?

TylerTork: If I just wanted to do it real fast and get it done, I'd use svg2pdf, then "pdfcrop --margins 0 infile.pdf outfile.pdf", then pdf2svg
<InPhase>
TylerTork: These are tools I already have sitting around for pdf work. :) But they are easy to install on Linux.

There might be similar things for svg, but I lean on the familiar for simple tasks.

On Monday I setup a new PC (with Ubuntu 24.04) and in that process involved installing OpenSCAD. Since I wanted the latest AND I wanted to be prepared for Future Features, I compiiled it. Two questions came out of that process, 1. There were a couple of missed dependencies (I used the dependencies shell script). 2. Seems like it's

about time for a formal release of OpenSCAD (last one early 2021; seem to be averaging about 1 every couple of years with the longest gap 2015 to 2019).
<AzAv8r>
To item 1: "qt5_default" no longer exists, instead a handful of qt dev packages needed to be installed. itstool is also missing, although it builds fine with a warning. Does either of these warrant a ticket, or are these to be expected (I'm thinking the qt5 probably needs a fix.)
<AzAv8r>
To item 2: I see from searching the logs recent discussion on a release, 2024 was expected, there are big features (manifold notably), but there are a lot of loose ends to clean up. Such that I could help bring a release to fruition: is there some sort of "punchlist" of the items/issues which need to be completed/closed prior to a release
<AzAv8r>
such that I could step in and help?

There is no current plan or hit list for a release, there are frequent Dev snapshots avaliable and the manifold migration is still really in flow, as an optional feature it is great, it is however still being tested and finding edge cases which are getting patched upstream.
