Hello,

Sorry in advance, this is a composite-topic email.

1) Launchpad question - am I ok so far?

Being new to bzr/launchpad I'm a bit confused yet. What I would liked to do is to branch the 0.48.x branch and apply/rewrite some of my former patches to there (not the 0.49.x, because unfortunately my libs seem to be too old to compile it).

I branched lp:inkscape/0.48.x, and also pushed it to a custom branch at lp:~palotai-robin/inkscape/0.48.x . Now at the bottom of the launchpad page, it tells that it is "stacked on lp:inkscape", where I would expect it to be lp:inkscape/0.48.x. Is this ok?

2) Some compilation errors with the 0.48.x trunk

I used 'configure --disable-lcms', gcc 4.3.2, x86, Debian Linux (lenny), glib 2.22.4, glibmm 2.16.4, gtk 2.12.12, gtkmm 2.12.7 (according to the package manager).

2A) The error mentioned here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.devel/35338

Solution was to include "io/sys.h" in color-profile.cpp

2B) Gtk::IconTheme::load_icon doesn't have default third parameter on my system, while inkscape uses the two-param version at two places:

interface.cpp
-                Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixbuf> pb = iconTheme->load_icon( it->second, *it2 );
+                Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixbuf> pb = iconTheme->load_icon( it->second, *it2, (Gtk::IconLookupFlags) 0 );

ui/widget/dock-item.cpp
-                Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixbuf> pb = iconTheme->load_icon( it->second, *it2 );
+                Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixbuf> pb = iconTheme->load_icon( it->second, *it2, (Gtk::IconLookupFlags) 0 );

3) How do I commit these patches?

Having these fixed, what is the expected lp/bzr procedure for create bug/commit patch?

4) Is adding new features (those I originally wanted) on the 0.48.x branch is in vain?

If it is a corrections only branch, then maybe it is in vain. But I can't compile for 0.49, so maybe creating the patches for 0.48 would make it easier to merge them in 0.49 eventually.


Thank you,
Robin
