I have a question regarding these bitmap scaling bugs. As far as I know the patch for bitmap scaling with Cairo has been applied
If this bug is fixed with the new Cairo, then it should be made a dup. suv~ thoughts?
About what exactly? Sorry, I'm not really sure which bug report you suspect to be a duplicate which is not marked as such...
Here's my take on the two reports affecting scaled bitmap images:
- Bug #1163449 (upscaling) Still open (not fixed automagically by a patched cairo version - needs a solution in Inkscape). This report is NOT a duplicate of bug #804162.
- Bug #804162 (downscaling) This bug report was closed by you as 'Fix Committed'. However, it was not "fixed in inkscape" by a commit to inkscape - actually what happened is that code added temporarily to inkscape trunk by Jasper to fix downscaling of bitmap images (r12227) was removed again (r12599) because it was finally committed upstream in cairo git master.
For anyone using an unpatched stable cairo version the downscaling bug is again 'open' (after r12599), and inkscape now has declared this not being its own bug (by relying/depending on a future uptream cairo version).
Personally, I would not have closed bug #804162 as 'Fix Committed' - I would have kept it as 'Triaged', and closed it as 'Invalid' once a newer stable cairo version is available on all major distros, and with all binary packages distributed by the Inkscape project itself (that's how we track other cairo bugs which had been reported for Inkscape instead of cairo, so far).
