Rose-Hulman team here again. We're in the process of making our initial release of the Inkboard project. The first question is, how important is it to have binaries(RPMs) for a release? Will most people want the source code anyways?
It is not as important as having everything nicely ready in a tarball. The RPM would be good because many ppl. use RPM package managmenet systems.
I think you guys should put some screenshots on your page. How do you guys feel about your project. I think you guys could take more advantage of all us Inkscape developers ;) Don't be too shy...
Great on the progress...

A related issue, we having problems creating the RPM. I'm not sure if it's a lack of understanding of RPMs or something to do with Inkscape on the dev machine. Here's the error it gives at the end of a "rpmbuild -ba": make[2]: *** [inkscape.desktop] Error 9 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/inkboard-0.1' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/inkboard-0.1' make: *** [all] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.68505 (%build)
RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.68505 (%build)
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you, Steven Montgomery
