Hey Inkscapers,
Firstly, congratulations and thank you all so much for Inkscape 0.48
I was just looking at this page here:
http://www.inkscape.org/download/?lang=en
And I have to say I'm fairly disappointed that Inkscape as a project caters so poorly to educating Free Desktop users about how to get Inkscape for their platform.
It's not just that there isn't a download for Ubuntu or Fedora directly, but because it doesn't even have an apt link or a ppa for where you can get the latest Inkscape release.
I would like to get an official PPA set up, but haven't taken the time to really look into it yet. I was planning to have it in place prior to 0.49. Does Fedora offer anything similar? I think Suse does, am I correct? I would really like to include these things, but no one has offered to help with them so far. We used to offer autopackages, which people seemed to like, but no one has stepped up when the previous person stopped packaging them.
Cheers, Josh
