Hello,
Better late than never, they say. Anyway, I've set up a static build environment today and tested it on the previous Inkscape release. The resulting static RPM installs and works fine on my RPM-based distro (SuSE LInux 9.3). It would be great if it could be tested on other systems, though.
Well, I suppose that means I'm volunteering for the creation of static RPMs from now on :-)
Now, should I upload inkscape-0.42.2-0.static.i686.rpm to SourceForge right away or should I just don't bother and wait for the 0.43 release?
Yes, upload it. Sometimes people have a need to install the prior release for testing or to resolve issues. Also, it's not entirely certain when 0.43 will be released; could be days, could be weeks. So meantime, it'll give folks a chance to test the packaging and hopefully give you some feedback.
