I was just wondering where in the release process are we? It wasn't totally clear to me whether or not it is already official and to be announced in the wild. Is it? May I now?

Yes, sorry, I meant to put out an announcement about this but connectivity here at OLS has been rather iffy. Now that all the packages are available and announcements have gone out, we're back to normal development.

The download page states that many packages are "coming soon", yet

they

are in SF's filelist.

Yes, that needs to be updated. I won't be able to work on the website until Sunday at the earliest, so if someone else could update it, that would be most appreciated.

By the way, I'm wondering if we need to really put some work into making the download page quite specific. In the past, a link to the SF download page was probably sufficient, but now with fink, autopackage, dev autobuilds, etc. I am thinking we probably need a carefully laid out page pointing at the various packages people need. However, my first cut at doing so actually made it worse -- I'd very much appreciate it if someone with a good idea for how to make the download page clearer could come up with a scheme for us.

Also, Bryce, I just noticed today that I sat in front of the computer, the MDK91 RPM shows Inkscape in the "Graphics" menu, yet MDK91 uses "Multimedia -> Graphics" for that.

Hmm, yes, you're right. When I next get a chance I'll updated it. Since this is distro dependent, we may need to figure out a way to variabalize this in the spec files.

I'm still receiving a lot of hits in the bleeding-edge autobuilds, but they are all 0.39rc* builds. Should I put a note about SF there?

Let's try to figure out what is causing people to select that file instead of the official build, and adjust links or whatever to promote the correct one.

Just for the statistics...

# (egrep LATEST|.nkscape-?[0-9]{10}. /var/log/httpd/access_log | cut -f 10 -d \ | grep -v - | tr \n + && echo 0) | bc 34028559086

# egrep LATEST|.nkscape-?[0-9]{10}. /var/log/httpd/access_log | wc -l 4488

That is 34,028,559,086 bytes with 4488 hits (not including "C la carte" files.)

Yow! That's pretty cool. :-)
