Hey All,
As some of you already know, I am trying to get 0.42 in the next version of Ubuntu, due in October. Inkscape is a supported program, and thus there are strict dates for uploading, one of which we have already passed. Now, the Feature Freeze is rapidly approaching (Aug 11). and I hear of crashers in 0.42.
I already know that several of you already use and promote Ubuntu. It would truly suck if 0.42.1 missed Breezy.
FWIW, the only problems I've had with compiling and running 0.42 on Breezy is that I had to pull in some more recent libs from Debian Sid. I'm on a less-heavily tested PPC machine, so without trying to suggest that Inkscape bugs shouldn't be fixed (I'm not a core developer, and not responsible for such things anyway) I think the quality is reasonably good for release. Most of the big issues are on Win32, if I recall correctly -- something I'd expect for an app largely developed on Free Software.
Can bug-fixes be backported from Inkscape CVS to 0.42? Or can 0.42.1 get into Breezy through security or something like volatile as a simply bugfix?
Breezy is not yet released. I was just getting the crunch from the developers about timing.
