Most of the problems are gone, but a few of them remains. I attached 3 screenshots showing the problems I've seen with current CVS. Arpad Biro __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

autopackages of Inkscape CVS now available for pre-release testing
by Mike Hearn 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

Hi, In January I said to you guys "go ahead and use GTKmm, don't worry about dependencies, that's our job" and promptly disappeared for a few months. Hopefully you accept my apologies - we've made a lot of improvements to autopackage in the meantime with the result that it's now capable of making a competent attempt at installing Inkscape and related dependencies. Firstly a recap: autopackage is a framework for building Linux binary packages that will install on any reasonably sane/modern Linux distribution[1] to any prefix, whilst taking care of all the fiddly bits like getting the menu integration right, dependency resolution and presenting a nice GUI feedback window while the program is being installed and its dependencies downloaded. You can read more about it on its website: http://www.autopackage.org/ I've packaged Inkscape, GTKmm and libsigc++ but not popt, libart, gtk2 or libxml2. I think most distros should have these things already. The long term plan is for autopackage to be able to drive apt/yum/urpmi and so on to be able to fetch dependencies not available in .package form from the distros native package repositories if possible. For now that doesn't work, so the user has to resolve those dependencies themselves. The Inkscape package is built from CVS nightly. It is available here: http://navi.cx/~mike/inkscape/inkscape-0.39cvs.package It can be installed like this: $ wget http://navi.cx/~mike/inkscape/inkscape-0.39cvs.package $ su # bash ./inkscape-0.39cvs.package In other words, just run it. Currently you should do this from a terminal window, though support from running it directly from file managers is nearly ready (it mostly-sorta works now). You will be prompted to download the autopackage support code. This should only happen once (until we do a new release of course). You don't have to run it as root. If you don't, it'll install itself to ~/.local - menus and such should still work theoretically, let us know if they don't. There is currently no way to uninstall graphically. You must run "package remove inkscape gtkmm libsigc++" as whichever user you installed as to uninstall the packages (assuming all of them were installed by autopackage). You can remove autopackage itself by running "package remove autopackage-gtk autopackage" as whichever user installed the support code. "package list" shows what you currently have installed. The summary screen at the end of the install will tell you what autopackage actually put on your system. Upgrading just involves downloading and running the new package, but our upgrade support is currently pretty weak. It'll just uninstall the old package and install the new one :) There is no way to do this automatically at the moment, you just have to wget the new .package file from my web server. It is keyed to a testing pre-release of autopackage 0.5, which isn't out yet but will be soon. So, report any bugs you find now :) If you like you can link to this package from your website. If you do, please put the usual disclaimer about autopackage being beta software etc on it. thanks -mike [1] for Inkscape that means any gcc 3.2 system with GTK2, as we need the 3.2 std lib DSO and we haven't packaged GTK2.

[patch] Fix the relocatable build
by Mike Hearn 28 Apr '04

Firstly, thanks for integrating the binary relocatability patch! This will help not only the autopackage team but win32 porters as well.

News from the Scribus World
by Peter Linnell 28 Apr '04

28 Apr '04

Hi all, Since 1.1.6 was released, we have begun the long and winding road to Scribus 1.2. Some updates: Last night's CVS release, contains new code to speed up image rendering. It *is* noticeably faster. Anyone using CVS, is encouraged to update and test. There is a Roadmap document for 1.2 and 1.3+ which has been posted to www.scribus.net Those who who might be interested in tackling some of these tasks are invited to join in. Slashdot visited again, based on a review of 1.1.6 from madpenguin.com. This led another discussion on dot.kde.org here: http://dot.kde.org/1083054064/ as well as stories on newsforge.com and others. In related news, the Inkscape team marches towards their next release. The current cvs version has a new feature called the "clone tool". It harder to describe, than to use, but it is an innovative way of editing. Also, there is a new project being launched called "Open Clipart. I have posted a story on the front of www.scribus.net with details. Scribus users are encouraged to support this new endeavor. Cheers, Peter

>Is there anything written on "mass" and "drag" for instance or on the >rationale behind what the tool is doing? My guess is as good as yours. The original author of the tool is not active in Inkscape. I agree that the tool is pretty useless, but let it be until we have a better replacement. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium: Up to 11 personalized e-mail addresses and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

I wonder what functions might be affected by the non-C locale, now that we removed all printfs? Judjing by the program behavior, it fails when reading SVG from files. We don't seem to have scanf() in XML reading code, only atof(). Is atof locale-broken also, as is printf?

Quick Observation / Inquiry
by Dan Ostrowski 28 Apr '04

28 Apr '04

Hello. I've been following Inkscape development for a while now. I was also on the Sodipodi list. 1) Observation: One of the nicer features of Sodipodi's interface was the ability to quickly zoom in on a selection, as that is one of the most frequently done operations. You can still hit '3' in Inkscape, but is this not one of the features that might qualify for a RMB entry? If no, I understand you get a lot of UI suggestions, but I figured I'd throw this one out there. It seems to be a logical fit. 2) Inquiry: What are the plans, if any, for patterns in Inkscape? Every couple days I say to myself "Hey, I just need to go in there and hack up some pattern support...", and yet... Lauris did not comment a lot of his files very well and the myriad of SP/NR_long_names_of_pointers shoved together in structs makes my eyes cross. Is anyone on the development team interested in patterns? There's a sp-pattern* file subset, but nothing seems to be done with it... It's SUCH a crucial feature is it on the radar at all? Thanks so much for a reply and Thanks so much for your development work, Dan Ostrowski

Hi, OK, the difference between the 2004-04-10 05:00 (good) and the 2004-04-10 06:00 (bad) versions are in inkscape.cpp and in main.cpp. Downgrading inkscape.cpp in the 06 tree to the 05 version does not solve the problem, but downgrading main.cpp DOES. main.cpp diff attached Arpad Biro __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
