There are for Windows (for each commit, actually): https://ci.appveyor.com/project/inkscape/inkscape/history 1. Click on the commit you want to use, 2. then choose your architecture - 32 or 64 bit (corresponding to "Environment: MSYSTEM=MINGW32" or "Environment: MSYSTEM=MINGW64") 3. then choose 'Artifacts' tab on the right above the black box 4. then download 7z-compressed file 5. unpack with 7zip 6. Run it And for macOS: 1. Visit https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/pipelines?scope=finished&page=1 2. select a commit and click on the download icon on its right 3. select Download inkscape:mac artifacts And for Linux: (same as for macOS, only select inkscape:linux artifacts, or:) 1. use Ubuntu/Ubuntu derivative on your system 2. visit https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev 3. Select if you want the stable branch (stable daily 0.92.x) or the master branch (trunk daily) 4. Add ppa as per instructions on the page 5. run: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install inkscape Am 03.01.2018 um 05:03 schrieb Miguel Lopez: > There isn't daily builds for those who are stuck on Windows or Mac. > > > On 1/2/2018 11:01 PM, Bryce Harrington wrote: >> On Wed, Jan 03, 2018 at 03:10:36AM +0000, Miguel Lopez wrote: >>> Hi Inkscape developers, users, and supporters, >>> >>>     There's a open-source software named Krita which offers >>> daily-builds from trunk, and I was wondering if this sort of thing was >>> possible for Inkscape. >> Yes, they're in launchpad. >> >>> Thank you for reading. >>> >>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >>> Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most >>> engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Inkscape-devel mailing list >>> Inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net >>> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-devel > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > Inkscape-devel mailing list > Inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-devel > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Inkscape-devel mailing list Inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-devel

Pending testing - at least for the Mac part, I don't know if there are any additional steps involved, or if it works at all - someone with a Mac who can try it out, or a dev who fixes the description would be helpful - yes, that would be possible, and a great addition to the website. Would you like to help with it, Miguel? If you want to, we'll get you set up with the necessary permissions and instructions.

Great! Any help you can give will improve the info on the website :) Please contact me directly when you've collected all the data (and include your inkscape.org username in the email). When you need help with the macOS build usage instructions, it would be best to ask in the IRC developer chat if someone is around who knows what to do with it (unless someone answers here) Maren On 03.01.2018 21:12, Miguel Lopez wrote: > > I do have access to a Mac computer via university, and it gets > cleaned  > up every Friday, so I believe I am able to test it.

That's what I had in mind :) Only issue is that if it's a link (which they are), the page will just redirect, before the user can read any instructions. So we can neither add a link, nor a download (or just a dummy download with the instructions as a text...), to have the page at least show up until the redirect timeout has run out.

Just an update on this: I've updated the installation instructions for the master branch on the website, and added them for the 0.92.x branch. So you can now guide your testers to the website's download section. What still needs some work is the macOS part, as I have no clue what a Mac user is meant to do with the artifact files they can download (aside from unpacking them, that is). I've messaged Tim Sheridan for help with instructions, and I hope that Miguel will be able to try them out as a user once we have them. Link for 0.92.x branch: https://inkscape.org/en/release/0.92.x/ Link for master branch: https://inkscape.org/en/release/master/ Maren Am 04.01.2018 um 02:54 schrieb Maren Hachmann: > Am 04.01.2018 um 00:41 schrieb Maren Hachmann: >> That's what I had in mind :) >> >> Only issue is that if it's a link (which they are), the page will just >> redirect, before the user can read any instructions. >> >> So we can neither add a link, nor a download (or just a dummy download >> with the instructions as a text...), to have the page at least show up >> until the redirect timeout has run out. > > - Sorry, bad grammar.

I like the landing pages, they look welcoming and are concise while having most of the important information. A minor issue: I'd drop the "+devel" from the "0.92.x" release background (0.92.x+devel" is not a thing).

On that matter: The term "0.92+devel" is not that great to start with - people unfamiliar with it wondered before if "0.92.2" is not more recent than "0.92+devel", so maybe we should make it extra clear in the description that "master" is the latest (unstable) development version and 0.92.x is the latest (mostly stable) release branch.

What I don't like are the AppVeyor CI build download notes for Windows - they are complicated as hell :-D I actually hope I can simplify that at some point (e.g. by storing the link to the latest successful build somewhere so it can be downloaded directly).

It's also not exactly helpful that the information is always scattered across three pages ("Release", "Platform", and "ReleasePlatform" pages) but that's a general issue I see with the Releases App that is true for stable releases, too.

@Martin: One idea I just have - do you think those could be unified to be on the same page? More like a tree view with sections that expand when clicked rather than individual pages for all of the levels? Roughly like https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ but more structured (so the "parent" information always stays visible and the child is expanded per user-selection down through all the three levels).

Regards, Eduard

That's what I had in mind :) Only issue is that if it's a link (which they are), the page will just redirect, before the user can read any instructions. So we can neither add a link, nor a download (or just a dummy download with the instructions as a text...), to have the page at least show up until the redirect timeout has run out.

I do have access to a Mac computer via university, and it gets cleaned up every Friday, so I believe I am able to test it. I suppose I can try to help with adding details to the website, but my grammar isn't exactly the greatest in the whole world. I don't mind helping.

I wrote this reply a week ago, but then when I checked the edge snap was broken. It works now. It needed a newer GTKmm than what was in Ubuntu 16.04. Not a big deal, but that turned out to be a bigger fix than I expected. Still needs some fixes, but I can use it now. It also works on Wayland.

Add ppa as per instructions on the page > 5. run: > sudo apt-get update > sudo apt-get install inkscape For other Linux distributions and for Ubuntu as well there is a per-commit (roughly, depends on LP syncing before the next commit) Snap build. $ sudo snap install --edge inkscape Or if you already have it installed: $ sudo snap refresh --edge inkscape You can then go back to stable with the same command: $ sudo snap refresh --stable inkscape Overall keeping up-to-date on that should be smaller than the updates on the deb side as they're compressed binary diffs. I haven't measured it though.
