I gave a shot at using autopackage to install Inkscape. Results are appended. Basically I ran into the following issues:
- Mozilla didn't automatically download the .package file so I had to wget it and run it from the commandline.
Hmm. Can you tell me what happened? I use Epiphany here and it worked fine. The files should be being serviced with a mime type of application/x-autopackage: is this not the case for you?
The middle issue is due to the autosu program not starting rather than a problem contacting sunsite.dk, but yes, we want to add better mirroring support in future.
- Cut-and-paste of the output from the command got messed up - perhaps because of ANSI sequences in the output?
What terminal emulator are you using? I use gnome-terminal and I haven't had problems with this. You can disable colour output by doing an
export AUTOPACKAGE_NOCOLORS=1
before running anything.
FWIW we did testing on many different peoples computers before releasing 0.5 and it worked OK for nearly everyone, so there's something different in your environment we haven't anticipated here.
