Inkscape Hackfest 2023
by René de Hesselle
Dear all,
we’re trying to organize a Hackfest early 2023 in Germany at a location outside Cologne (~15 km).
While the location won’t lend itself to sightseeing tours or visiting a different bar each night
(because it's not in the city, more on the country side), it’s special appeal is that we actually
don’t have to leave the premises: team room, hotel rooms and excellent catering (breakfast, lunch, dinner)
are conveniently all in one place. Ideal conditions for late night sessions under the influence
of beer and good company to spark commits for make benefit glorious library of Boost Pointer Container!
('grep -A 5 glorious src/3rdparty/2geom/include/2geom/curve.h‘ and you will understand)
More details will be revealed later, for now let’s see which week(s) to look at for possible booking
and how many people are interested.
Please use your GitLab handle as your name to vote within 7 days:

(Two weeks in February are missing because traveling during carnival season through a hotspot like
Cologne isn’t fun.)
Cheers!
René

Anybody build from source on RH EL 8 (or related)?
by David Mathog
This question was first posted here (recently):
https://inkscape.org/forums/beyond/anybody-build-from-source-on-rh-el-8-o...
It was kind of long, so please just read that and then reply here.
Found this script in the current developer's instructions:
https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-ci-docker/-/raw/master/install_depen...
Have not tried it yet. It lists Fedora but not any of the RHEL variants.
Also, under Fedora poppler is not explicitly called out as a dependency,
and from the first link, building poppler was a problem. Does the Fedora
build not use poppler, or does it come in automatically from one of the
other dnf commands?
For reference, see also:
https://forums.centos.org/viewtopic.php?t=76971
For Centos 8.3 (or maybe it was 8.2) "dnf install poppler-devel" worked,
but for almalinux 8.6 it does not, failing with a:
No match for argument: poppler-devel
Thanks,
David Mathog
