Time to upgrade MacPort then. :-)
upgrade so that there is a git method
That's what I meant, yes.
or upgrade the cairo port inMacPorts? 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.
Yeah, and that's fine. We're working toward a 1.6 release for cairo, but we're not there yet.
I noticed that there is no cairo 1.5.2 at this address. Are you still planning to make a git snapshot?
Sorry about the delay. The 1.5.2 snapshot is here now:
http://cairographics.org/snapshots/cairo-1.5.2.tar.gz
And I'm definitely interested in hearing reports from inkscape users about cairo's PDF output with this snapshot. It should be lots better than cairo 1.4.10. But if you can find any regressions, I *definitely* want to hear about those.
Some notes on what's new in 1.5.2 compared to 1.4.10 can be seen here:
http://cairographics.org/news/cairo-1.5.2/
Other than that, I notice there is a web interface to cairo's git repository.
There are a couple of them actually:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/ http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/
I find this functionality of SVN's interfaces very useful and would love to see it in git.
Git itself does have the ability to export a tar file, (the command is "git archive"), but I don't know if either cgit or gitweb expose that functionality, (there's no obvious existing link on either of the above URLs).
