Installing Inkscape nightly alongside stable 0.91 on Linux Mint 17.3
Installing Inkscape nightly alongside stable 0.91 on Linux Mint 17.3
Is that possible? And if so, how exactly? Or does it install like that already? I'd rather not replace my stable release with the nighlies, but would like to be more active testing now I can finally report bugs. But I can also imagine wanting to use a nightly as production tool if the bugs can be avoided and the functionality gain warrants its use.
I also wonder if some of the bug fixes couldn't be released as Bugfix package rather than to have to wait for a long time till the next stable release. I can imagine that to be a lot of work to keep track of though, so not sure about the feasibility of it.
Or maybe some kind of recommended Beta update (as Inkscape is still Beta anyway), that has proven to have some improvements making it worth upgrading. Being able to use Shift+Del and Shift+Insert for text springs to mind as an particularly annoying omission in 0.91 (as years of usage has carved that path in my neural network) but fixed in later nightlies.
Cheers,
Jelle
Hi Jelle,
This worked for me on Linux Mint 17.3: (but there are other options, too) http://vektorrascheln.de/posts/2016/Feb/installing-inkscape-devel-and-stable...
Kind regards, Maren
