Hi Inkscape Devs,
I've decided to take it upon myself to try and get Inkscape's libcroco pushed upstream. I've been doing some web searching about the previous discussions that have gone on about it:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/libcroco-list/2007-February/msg00000.html http://mail.gnome.org/archives/libcroco-list/2009-March/msg00001.html https://answers.launchpad.net/inkscape/+question/123799 https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/inkscape/+bug/648246 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=572454 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252510
I've been doing some work pulling out the differences between inkscape and upstream crocco into a series of tidy patches. The main differences are the libxml split-out, fixes for compiler warnings, and a couple of minor bug fixes.
But as you know the main issue is about splitting out libxml, and I see that this has already been attempted here:http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=129078
Do anyone know anything about the status of this patch? Was is rejected for some reason?
Best Regards Joel Holdsworth
