Dear All,

I have enabled automatic testing (make check) in the trunk PPA, so we'll now have an early warning system for runtime errors. Please can I draw your attention to the known test failures [1]:

#1202271 cxxtest: preferences-test.h fails #1208002 cxxtest: svg-length-test.h fails (in progress) #1208005 cxxtest: svg-path-geom-test.h fails #1208013 cxxtest: curve-test.h fails #1207502 cxxtest: svg-affine-test.h fails

At the moment, PPA builds will (correctly) fail if the extension tests fail, but will still succeed in the case of errors in Inkscape itself until we fix *all* of the broken tests above.

It therefore makes sense to try to fix all of these in time for Inkscape 0.49 so that we have a correctly functioning unit test system. If no one objects, I'll target all of those bugs to Inkscape 0.49.

Thanks,

AV
