[...] I thought I had an "old" version of Cairo but 1.4.10 (which I have) appears to be the latest stable one. Hence it is the latest "easily" available on OS X ("easily" meaning without fetching cairo source and compiling it by myself). I would gladly add a Cairo-devel port just for me, so that it integrated well with the rest of the build system on OS X, but the MacPort system can't use git to fetch code, only svn.
Time to upgrade MacPort then. :-)
upgrade so that there is a git method or upgrade the cairo port in MacPorts? Upgrading Cairo would be nice but I think that the MacPorts guys stayed on 1.4.10 because it is the latest release marked as stable on Cairo's site.
I tried to figure out a way to get devel snapshots but the only I found were months old (http://cairographics.org/snapshots/? C=M;O=D). Is there any way other than git to get recent development version of Cairo?
At this moment, git it is. But like I said in my previous mail, I'll make a cairo 1.5.2 snapshot today or tomorrow, (and post it to the above URL).
I noticed that there is no cairo 1.5.2 at this address. Are you still planning to make a git snapshot?
Other than that, I notice there is a web interface to cairo's git repository. In many SVN interfaces there are ways to get a tarball from the latest source (or for just about anything actually) directly from the web interface. Do you think you could set up something similar in cairo's interface? This would be a nice shortcut to get the latest bleeding edge (or a given commit, provide the hash is known) without having a proper git install. I find this functionality of SVN's interfaces very useful and would love to see it in git.
