Correct download URL for source ?
by Ken Moffat 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

When I downloaded 0.92.2 using firefox, I thought that the link was to https://inkscape.org/en/release/0.92.2/source/archive/dl/bz2/ (but I might have misread the tiny text), and presumably it had inkscape-0.92.2.tar.bz2 on the end of it. But now that I try to go there directly I get inkscape's Page Not Found, and using that to search for inkscape-0.92.2.tar.bz2 fails. I see that Arch seem to be using https://media.inkscape.org/dl/resources/file/inkscape-0.92.2.tar.bz2 but that too fails for me with 404, or 403 for the directories above that. So, please, where should I point people to so that they can download it with a browser or wget ? ĸen -- I live in a city. I know sparrows from starlings.

Icon names
by Alex Valavanis 12 Aug '17

Hi Tav, Is there any chance you could use your icon-extracting Perl script to generate a list of Inkscape's icon-name strings? It would be good to put a table of names/descriptions on the Wiki to help people develop custom icon themes. AV

Download Page Redirect Issue?
by Ryan Gorley 11 Aug '17

11 Aug '17

Can someone confirm that they're having similar behaviors: When I visit inkscape.org I am properly assigned my language (/en/), when I hover over the download link it shows the proper URL (https://inkscape.org/en/release/), but when I click the link I am redirected to the French language version of the page (https://inkscape.org/fr/release/0.92.2/). I've tested in three browsers, it's not a local caching issue as far as I can tell. Seems like a serverside page caching issue to me, or maybe a simple redirect typo. Just want to see if I'm the only one.

Please update 0.93 release notes
by Bryce Harrington 11 Aug '17

Everyone working on trunk, please take a few minutes to jot down what you've been working on: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.93 Also, if there's changes others have done that you're aware of, please add those too. Even placeholder text would help indicate where further fleshing out is needed. Thanks, Bryce

Fwd: Re: Debian 8 compatibility falling apart after one month of Debian 9
by Michael Soegtrop 11 Aug '17

Dear Eduard, dear Inkscape Team > If this version matches the actual requirement unexpected build failures > like Michael was experiencing should be impossible as cmake would > already warn at the configure stage. I would think that CMake allows newer versions than the specified one, unless explicitly told otherwise. The issue here is that some GTK 3.16 are actually used although only GTK 3.8 features should be used (as far as I understood). I have some experience with creating build systems which use specific package versions based on Cygwin. Since there is a working MSys build, it shouldn't be difficult to build with specific package versions - one just has to create a local cygwin or MSys package repository, which keeps these specific versions and tell the Cygwin/MSys installer to use that one. The Cygwin installer creates a suitable repository as a cache automatically. Not sure how this works with MSys, but I guess it has similar features. The main issue here might be to get the versions mentioned in the Wiki. One might have to build them from scratch. If someone has a years old cache folder of Cygwin or MSys with all the old package versions, please put is somewhere. It would make sense to run two builds, one with the latest packages and one with an archived set of packages. Best regards, Michael .

Organic Funding
by Martin Owens 10 Aug '17

10 Aug '17

Dear developers, We've just concluded our board meeting and one of the issues was funding. We're kicking around an idea of allowing some developers to use the service Patreon (http://patreon.com/) to collect subscriptions to fund their Inkscape development. This system of funding would be quite different from either a centralised funding model or the status quo of non-user involvement. These are some very raw thoughts for considering and I'd love to get more feedback from the wider developer community: * Developers would be allowed to create a Patreon page which describes their work on Inkscape. * Each developer would be shaping their focuses and would be responsible to keeping their Patreon pages up to date. * Developers may only define themselves as Inkscape developers on patreon if: . + They are Inkscape developers (in the list of devs) . + Are considered active in the project. . + Present Inkscape in a good light on their pages. . + Have asked for permission from the developers list. * Developers would be removed from the scheme by the developers if . + They are not active in the project for 2 months . + Are involved in an conduct infraction which gets them removed from the project. * People claiming to be Inkscape developers without permission will be considered to be using the Inkscape trademark inappropriately. (must check legal with Conservancy to make sure this is true) * The Inkscape general fund continues to be the donation headline, money going towards hackfests and other resources for the project. * The project would do periodic funding drives to improve donations and subscriptions to our patreon developers. Using social media and news announcements to improve funding. * Contributors to patreon developers would NOT receive sponsorship rewards from Inkscape (i.e. sponsorship levels on the website). * Patreon developers would continue to get sponsorship for hackfest expenses much like any other developer would. == Status == We have two developers who are prepared to trial such a system. Tav and Mc (Marc), both attended the hackfest, both have worked on Inkscape intensively for quite a while. I want to see if it's possible try and get a trial set up quickly. Mc will leave education in 2 months and must decide to continue developing Inkscape or move on to full time employment. Best Regards, Martin Owens

The new release is available for download on the slick new release page <https://inkscape.org/en/release/0.92.2/>, the announcement <https://inkscape.org/en/news/2017/08/07/inkscape-0-92-2-release-announcemen…> is up, and we're in the midst of letting the world know <https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-vectors/press/issues/1>. From my vantage point it was really awesome to see /many/ of you step up to pull this all together--often during busy schedules and into the early mornings. I just wanted to say wow, and thank you! -- Ryan Gorley // Dijt <https://dijt.co> // Managing Partner

Inkscape .deb package
by Bryce Harrington 09 Aug '17

09 Aug '17

Our PPA to do autobuilds of releases broke with the switch from bzr to git; I tried coaxing it back to life but no go so far. Is anyone familiar with creating .deb packages, and available right now to help build a regular .deb package of Inkscape? If so, catch me on IRC.
