Hi!
Do I need to download svn trunk, if I want to test the prereleases?
For the debian packaging I think the debian/control file missed a ',' character in it. So I attached a really minor patch(lol). cd debian; svn diff -x -u >control.diff
I think the version from '0.43+0.44pre1-1' should changed to something '0.44pre1-1'. Am I wrong?
The problem is that apt/dpkg thinks 0.44pre1 is larger (= newer) than 0.44-1. This means that if you create a package version 0.44pre1 the update to the later released version 0.44 will not work automatically. Best practice for home-built packages is to generate packages not versioned -1... but -0.1... to ensure the update to (later) official packages.
However Im not able to build from inkscape svn. From the svn snapshot tarballs compiles fine. What is need to running in the fresh svn checkout, to be identic to the svn snapshot tarballs? Im talking about this tarball: http://inkscape.modevia.com/svn-snap/inkscape-20060524-0300.tar.bz2
You need to run ./autogen.sh in a fresh svn-checkout. This will generate the needed configure script.
