Last I remember was a make dist problem showing up (and the make check failure which is also in the tracker BTW) but from the regular sources, yes.
There are still some fixes I'd still like to backport to 0.44.1, and we've also got to give the translators notice so they can review/merge translations.

Shall we give them notice now? Perhaps by the time they're ready, you will be too?

IMHO everything language-related not in the patch tracker and not assigned to stable is already too far away from 0.44.1 to backport it without some unknown amount of work. That's at least how I interpret what cmarqu said to me on irq some time ago.

Nah, trunk hasn't diverged from 0.44.0 that much yet. On the other hand, if something doesn't backport cleanly that's generally pretty obvious up-front when you try to merge. Cherry-picking seems daunting, but really it's not.
I'll try and get the backporting done today and/or tomorrow.

last time I tried, Inkscape crashes on OS X, in a manner similar to what happens on windows today (see a recent thread). I send an e-mail to the list and uploaded the faulty build to modevia but haven't had the time to investigate more and, appart from ben flower, no well- known mac user has answered me yet. In order to check if the problem comes from my system or is deeper than that I'd like someone to: 1. - download the broken mac dev build on modevia http://inkscape.modevia.com/macosx-snap/Inkscape_20060717_broken.dmg - open it and try to draw any shape. - see it if crashes. - if it does, start it from the terminal and check error messages (I got something about a locale problem)
2. - compile inkscape on his/her box - check if there is the same problem - upload a build somewhere so that I can test it here too.
thanks in advance. in the meantime I'll try to compile today's SVN but I checked two time since the latest modevia build and the problem was still the same.

I can confirm that the problem is still there. at least on my system. I uploaded a non-stripped build (i.e. with debug info) to modevia. Please test this one: http://inkscape.modevia.com/macosx-snap/Inkscape_20060717_broken.dmg

my mistake, this build in fact is from 2006/07/21. Inkscape does not build today on os x. you can test this one anyway while I try to figure the pb with today's build.

0.44.1 is not 0.44-1! That would be 0.44.1-1 then...
I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to these nomenclature things. I just thought it would be difficult to release a new version while Inkscape trunk does not compile on a specific platform. But maybe I am not trying to compile the right thing, maybe I should compile a release branch or something. Could you enlighten me please?

The 0.44 branch was ... branched right after the release 0.44 so if you had no problems with the original 0.44 then you're fine with it. Please see the FAQ on how to checkout branches, this has a name of RELEASE_0_44_BRANCH.
Some things were fixed too in the branch, please see the 0.44.1 Release Notes on the Wiki (top of 0.44). Trunk (="experimental"), however, was changed heavily in the meantime, and your problems might be due to that. I just don't know.

thanks for this enlightening explanation. I was indeed making inappropriate comments. If I understood you correctly 0.44.1 would be coming from an evolution of the RELEASE_0_44_BRANCH while my comments were about trunk. Sorry to have caused trouble with this (well the problems are still there but I should have posted them separately). To make up for my mistake I'll checkout the release branch and try to produce the 0.44.1 package for OSX :-) note for Michael Wybrow: I will only be able to compile Inkscape on a PPC system. Could you take care of the Intel part in order to give a universal 0.44.1 (or at least two separate packages).

Last time I tried, the release branch still compiled fine and didn't crash on OS X. I see the same problems with PANGO symbols as everyone else on Mac for the trunk.
note for Michael Wybrow: I will only be able to compile Inkscape on a PPC system. Could you take care of the Intel part in order to give a universal 0.44.1 (or at least two separate packages).
David Yip would be the person to ask. He built the Mactel packages for 0.44. I just looked over them and checked everything was where it should be and nothing was missing.
Or alternatively, David Himelright might now have got his Universal tree of all the dependencies built, in which case he might be able to build the whole thing in one go.
I'll cleanup the script I was using to lipo everything together and commit it later today or tomorrow.
Cheers, Michael
