Actually there are 2 official PPAs...
- Stable (0.48.4)
https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/+archive/stable
- Trunk (whatever the current revision is)
well, I added the above two to my /etc/apt/sources.list, on Lucid, ran my update, then did "apt-get install inkscape"
still getting "inkscape is already the newest version"
what am I doing wrong?
Should I just compile from source? (Will that entail heaps of dependencies?)
Cheers, Josh

Thanks. I forgot yet another feature/function: (4) Rotation of a node subset. Or is that already part of the "transformation handles" ?
Yes, it's already covered. To enter rotation / skew mode, enable the handles, select some nodes and single-click one of the nodes - basically the same thing you'd do in the selector tool.
I'll try version 0.48 asap. (I tried installing via ppa on an old Ubuntu, 10.04LTS, but am running into a glitch ("...is already the newest version..."))
AFAIK, the PPA contains a package called 'inkscape-devel', not 'inkscape' and it's a snapshot of the unreleased 0.49 version. It's even better than 0.48 (e.g. much better performance) but has a few serious bugs which are blocking its release, for example large bitmaps are not scaled down correctly.
