Have we made any progress toward Mac packages for this release?
some more info on the package I posted yesterday on modevia: - it may be posted on sourceforge but I do not have the rights to do it - it is compiled with dependencies supplied by DarwinPorts = it has recent versions of gtk (2.10.0), cairo and pango (1.5.0). but for pango to work I had to change a file inside the app bundle: in Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/etc/pango/pangorc < ModuleFiles = ${HOME}/.inkscape-etc/pango.modules ---
ModuleFiles = "${HOME}/.inkscape-etc/pango.modules"
= I removed the quotes, meaning that it can cause problems with home paths containing special characters (spaces,...) - it's a PowerPC only package (not universal) so it should be named inkscape-0.45pre1-ppc.dmg. there must be a way to compile universal binaries (ppc and x86) via DarwinPorts given the fact that compiler flags can be supplied to DarwinPorts. It would be a very nice way to sort this Universal issue. Meanwhile, could somebody produce an x86 version?
As you see there is still a long way to go before having perfect packages. I am afraid I won't be able to hammer out all issues by myself. I just don't have the necessary time.
In addition I remarked that the release branch missed a file: packaging/macosx/dmg_background.svg
