Let's plan on a 0.92.4 in a few months, maybe in the May/June timeframe.
As we've talked about in the past, we'll be continuing to do bugfix releases on the 0.92.x branch for the foreseeable future, and we'll be treating it as an equivalent of a 'long term stable' series for Inkscape in case changes.
Starting with the bz2 on Fedora 27 x86_64 using "./configure" I get:
checking dependency style of gcc... (cached) gcc3 checking dependency style of gcc... gcc3 ./configure: line 6007: syntax error near unexpected token `2.2' ./configure: line 6007: `LT_PREREQ(2.2)'
Yes, the 0.92.x series still includes our deprecated autopackage scripting, but you'll need to run autogen.sh prior to configure, as mentioned in the README. Have you tried that yet? I just re-tried it and it appears to be working (it configured ok, at least).
The packaging framework as implemented currently in 0.92 can create dists either using the cmake machinery or the autobuild machinery, but the cmake approach is the one I'm using now. I don't really test the automake dist stuff any more, but one can expect it should still work on the 0.92.x branch, and there's no plans to introduce anything to deliberately break it. Certainly autobuild patches are still acceptable for 0.92.x to fixing issues that might crop up.

Inkscape 0.92.3 is a maintenance release resolving numerous bugs and making this the most stable release of the series.
To download the latest packaged version of Inkscape visit:
I notice there are no DEB or RPM packages there but there is a SNAP - so should AppImage be considered too?
How do I find out who does the Fedora packages?
There's debs on our stable ppa, and should be in debian and maybe ubuntu soonish.
For RPM, that's a good question - if you find who is responsible on Fedora, I can add them to my packager pre-announce notice list. Offhand I would guess the people listed in the Changelog for the RPM file might know? Let me know if you can find out. https://fedora.pkgs.org/25/fedora-x86_64/inkscape-0.92-3.pre2.fc25.x86_64.rp...
I can add others to the notification list, such as AppImage. If that person is interested in and willing to take the notifications, I just need the email address I should send the notice to. I just ask that they be legitimate packagers of something Inkscape users are using - the package pre-announce notice list isn't intended as a way for news folks to get a scoop. ;-)
