Bye bye for now Whiteboard
Hey All,
First off, I am sorry for those who this change may break the build for temporarily (possibly win32 & osx, but hopefully neither). If you've built with the whiteboard flag in the past, I'm sorry, but it is advised to make clean and build again without the flag as it no longer exists.
As discussed previously, I have gone ahead and removed the whiteboard configure flag prior to the release of 0.47. For those who don't know, this was done because the whiteboard has not worked for some time, people still ask how to make it work, distro's build packages with the flag, and a number of other related issues continually arise. In other words, it will save us a lot of "user support" time.
Hopefully one day someone will take the time to properly fix things so that it is more robust and far less fragile than it was. Until then, it would be appreciated if the flag is not added back into trunk.
For the record, the flag was mainly commented out in this commit, the only piece that was actually deleted was 2 lines in configure.ac's echo statement. Those were lines 1011 & 1012:
Enable Inkboard: ${with_inkboard} Enable SSL in Inkboard: ${with_inkboard_ssl}
By the way, yes, this is also an indication that I'm back and will continue helping us to push to get this released as soon as we can.
Cheers, Josh
Thanks for doing this, Josh, it will save a great deal of confusion.
My vote is for InkboardNG as a replacement to the original Inkscape whiteboard: http://code.google.com/p/inkboardng/
