Hi All,
I just thought that we could use a quick status check on the embedded libraries in the Inkscape repo... i.e., what we have, and what we intend to do with them. My personal preference is to get rid of as many of them as possible. Here is a list of what I think the current status is... please let me know what you think:
...
- 2geom - Tracking the possibility of building against an external
copy here [2]. Last time I checked, there was a crash on startup. Perhaps it would be helpful to explicitly track the upstream revision of lib2geom that's currently embedded in trunk? Until it's packaged in distros, there's not much scope for aggressively pursuing this!
I agree with removing unnecessary embedded libs. But because 2geom is still very much bleeding edge, plus it is developed by Inkscape developers, I am against removing it from our source. We depend on ToT 2geom, instead of packaged versions. For now at least.
Cheers, Johan
