Hi all,
I updated the packaging for OS X so that when people open the disc image in which Inkscape is distributed they see this: http://jo.irisson.free.fr/dropbox/inkscape_distrib.png and just have to drag and drop Inkscape icon to Applications in order to install it. Yes this is mostly eye candy but well... this is on the mac ;-) I took the header from the tutorials. is it ok? This requires a custom 80Mb disc image with its background modified by hand so I don't think it's a good candidate to commit. Is there anybody who knows about a command line to apply a background image to a folder of the Finder? (it's the last point that cannot be automated in a script and that requires the 80Mb disc image to exist already). A packaged version of pyXML was tested successfully on 10.3 and 10.4 so I planned to ship this as a separate package in the dev builds: http://jo.irisson.free.fr/dropbox/pyxml_distrib.png Maybe it should be included in 0.44 too if effects are to be activated by default. I sent an email to pyXML developers to know if they want a particular logo/mention of pyXML in the package.
I'll be unavailable for the next two months so I won't be able to produce Inkscape dev builds for the testing phase of the release, nor will I be able to package 0.44. I guess people will be available to do it. If this new packaging is ok to everybody and worth bothering, I'll modify the wiki to explain how to do it and somebody (Michael? Ted?) could take over the builds.
Cheers,
