Thanks Trent. Can you also skim over the Debian docs for compiling and packaging Inkscape to see if it's still correct? http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CompilingInkscape http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CreatingDists Bryce On Thu, 11 Nov 2004, Trent Buck wrote: > Quoth George Farris on or about 2004-11-09: > > Can someone please make Debian packages as well, I would love to test > > this on Ubuntu.

small textual problem
by Arpad Biro 10 Nov '04

Hi, A new string from src/dialogs/xml-tree.cpp: "<b>XML Editor</b> Select attributes and edit them." I guess there should be some punctuation between "Editor" and "Select". Arpad Biro __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo! Front Page. www.yahoo.com

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Glue : SVG Support ? Inkscape Sypport ?

E.g. there's no way of forming or breaking connections other than editing the SVG (say using inkscape's XML editor). What I've done is just enough for the non-inkscape work I'm doing: I can write SVG files from a java program, and when I'm using inkscape I can drag boxes around and have the lines follow. > The insight that would get me started would be, what would be the > content of the SVG that supports a "connection" ?.

0.40pre2
by Ted Gould 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

With more layers functionality, additional bug fixes, calligraphy tool improvements and more the 0.40 release is starting to shape up. This has prompted the 0.40pre2 release to be created. Please take a look at this release and help us find more bugs! If they're not found, they can't be fixed. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438&package_id=9911… Thanks, Ted PS - Binary packagers -- if you could please try to build a test binary that would be appreciated. We'd also like to put it into the file tracker, I can help you with that if you need.

New calligraphic icon

With the recent update on the calligraphic tool I thought it might need a new icon. http://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/temp/calligraphicpen.svg - Andreas

The main reason there are not spec files for every distribution is that the spec file included has tended to work on most rpm systems with minor changes only, so there hasn't been a strong need to maintain separate spec files. This has been a bit of an advantage in that we were able to combine efforts on maintaining and improving the spec file. However, going forward I think it may be more necessary to split out separate spec files, especially if packagers take advantage of distro-specific features/macros, and doubly especially as distro vendors start providing the spec files. If this is done, though, it would be helpful to put these into a subdirectory. I.e.: inkscape/ packaging/ debian/ gentoo/ fink/ mandrake/ inkscape.spec suse/ inkscape.spec windows/ Bryce On Tue, 9 Nov 2004, Tuukka Pasanen wrote: > Hi, > How one can become a packager and why there isn't spec files for every > distribution available? > > Tuukka > > > > > With more layers functionality, additional bug fixes, calligraphy tool > > improvements and more the 0.40 release is starting to shape up.

performance under win2k
by Gazal, Geraud (GE Healthcare) 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

Hi, I don't know if some of you have noticed this, but it looks like the last builds (at least yesterday and today) of Inkscape have become slower under win2k (PII, 1GHz, 512Mo RAM): Examples : * start application, draw a rectangle and click on Fill and Stroke Dialog -> the dialog appears after more than 1sec. * start application, select text tool, type a few chars ("toto") -> the text is only rendered after 15 seconds ! * same problem with import of bitmaps (already notified in the bug tracker) Regards, Matiphas
