call of 'virtualenv' with option 'p=python3' syntactically wrong

Dear Maintainers, after pulling revision 5448704355e03a97d2838e1ba30272db335f0dbb I have built inkscape according to https://inkscape.org/develop/getting-started/ Trying to manage extensions (Extensions -> Manage Extensions) I receive the following error message: There has been a problem creating the python environment: Return Code: 3: b'' b'The path =python3 (from --python==python3) does not exist\n' args: ['/usr/bin/virtualenv', '-p=python3', '/home/xx/.config/inkscape/extensions'] Indeed the call is syntactically wrong. Instead of '-p=python3' the option '-p python3' ### without equal sign should be used. As far as I understand, the problem seems to exist in inkscape/share/extensions/extension-manager-bootstrap.py:69 call('virtualenv', TARGET_DIR, p='python3') which then in inkex/command.py:to_args() is evaluated to the wrong sytnax. According to the (very good) comments in to_args() :Keyword Arguments: * *name* (``str``) -- Becomes ``--name="val"`` ... * *n* (``str``) -- Becomes ``-n=val`` ... it should become ``-n val``. I do not know whether a change would result in problems using other programs that want -n=val. Which should that be?

The win32 build, which was broken for the weekend, is working again. I just made a "manual autobuild" again, so that we can see how it looks on Windows: http://troi.titan-aeu.com/~rjamison/inkscape/builds/ Bob

Further information about CVEs
by Thomas Leroy 20 May '22

20 May '22

Hi there, As you may know, 3 CVEs [0] [1] [2] have been assigned to Inkscape, but there are a very few information available. The 3 CVE pages redirect to the same CISA page [3], mentioning Inkscape version 1.0 or later as fixed. Could you please confirm this information? Moreover, in the case of backporting patches is preferred instead of upgrading, could you please point me to the fixing commits? That would be very awesome.:) Best regards, Thomas [0]https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-42700 [1]https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-42702 [2]https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-42704 [3]https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/ics/advisories/icsa-22-132-03 -- Thomas Leroy Security engineer SUSE Software Solutions

Okay, I think I figured out why these emails aren't going out on Monday, but that doesn't help for this one. Sorry for it being late. But we have a PLC meeting in an hour. I imagine most of the big things are going to be hiring and the release.
