I have a Windows installer ready, and it seems to work correctly. It is 36 MB, so too big to send via email. Where should I upload it so that others might test?
Same here: I could offer two DMGs for testing, but don't know where to upload to give testers access:
- Inkscape-0.48.3.1-1-LEOPARD+.dmg (32bit Intel), 61.5 MB
- Inkscape-0.48.3.1-1-LION.dmg (64bit Intel), 66.1 MB
(…)
Note I: I haven't shared local builds and packaged osxapps before - minimal testing & feedback on other systems would be helpful.
Personally, I decided that graphicall.org would not be the best place to "pre-publish" test builds of a stable release - such test builds do not fall into the 'Experimental' category AFAIU [1], and are not intended for more wide-spread usage (at least mine are not yet: I could not provide support to users expecting to download a stable release package, and ATM am more interested in feedback by those somewhat familiar with building & packaging Inkscape on OS X). For now, I won't upload a build of the latest stable release to graphicall.org as long as the project itself does not yet offer official packages. [2]
Possibly a 'testing' directory on sf.net could (or will (?)) be used for such packages, which would allow users to clearly distinguish packages pre-released for testing only from the official stable release packages.

[2] Later on, I do plan to use the service offered by graphicall.org to share personal builds of trunk for Mac OS X from time to time (maybe even an 'Experimental' build or two with the Quartz backend of GTK+) - I already have upload permissions there (thanks to prokoudine :) ).
