This sounds quite reasonable to me. But we'll want the ability to switch there before the freeze so the mechanism can be tested. If possible, I think it would be great to have a configure flag that tells Inkscape to ignore the in-tree 2geom and search the platform.
Agreed. We need to keep pushing the separation to the extent that we reasonably can.
Okay, so let's talk dates. Josh and I threw a few of these around. I think it's reasonable to say that we'd need approximately 2 months before the release. Josh believes there is no way that we'll release this year, so it doesn't need to be done now.
The reality is that it'd be nice to get into the next rounds of Fedora and Ubuntu -- which means we need to be at or close to a release by the end of February. Which, working the numbers back, means that we'd need a stable release to target of lib2geom by the end of the year.
Now, I'm not saying this needs to be API static, but it needs to be at a point that we expect projects to use it. Also, it would probably be good to version the include directories and libraries. I noticed that the CMake scripts are doing neither of those now.
