Release wardens for 0.42 release?
As we move to the next phase in the release process, it is time to select the two people who will be responsible for our final QA check. Our process is to have one person from the previous release, and add one new person.
Last time, if I remember correctly, the release wardens were Bulia and Kees. That was Kees' first time and Bulia's second, so the rotation would have Kees and one new person.
Jon, would you be available to serve in this position for this release?
Kees and Jon, I suspect we may be ready to go into final release next weekend. Do each of you have sufficient time next weekend (and possibly on into the following week) to do this?
Thanks, Bryce

Hmm, we don't yet have the pre0 out officially (because not all packages are ready - Kees, will you do a static rpm?), and I think we need at least one more prerelease before the freeze. I think next weekend is a bit too optimistic.

I'm not sure Kees is following the list; ccing him.
I think if we set our sights to achieve everything by next weekend, even if we don't make it, we'll be able to achieve it shortly thereafter.
Timing-wise, note that the Desktop Con and OLS is coming up third week in July, and it would be very smart if we could announce our release in conjunction with that conference, since I will be giving a presentation on Inkscape there.

I'm flattered, but a little uncomfortable being a release warden, because I haven't been very involved in the recent weeks. But, maybe that makes me better since that makes me more objective? I'm happy to do it if nominated.

Sure. As it tends to go, it's a waiting game, so even if I'm busy, it's okay.
Bulia: I will start preparing the static build.

I've got all the libraries recompiled. I'm worried I'm going to create a really bad RPM considering I'm now running a machine half debain unstable, half ubuntu hoary, building a static RPM for other people. ;)
Anyway... looks like the .spec.in file wasn't updated for plugin changes?
File not found by glob: /var/tmp/inkscape-0.41+0.42pre1-root/usr/lib/inkscape/plugins/*
Should there be anything in there?

No, there shouldn't. I moved all those to internal extensions. Sorry I forgot to update the spec file.

I've adjusted this and rebuilt the static RPM. The i386 version is up for testing. I don't have an RPM-based machine to test this on, so anyone else, please give it a shot.

Does anyone feel that we need more time before the Hard Freeze? Any bugs left that must be fixed beyond what we know about?
If not, then it is probably time to declare String Freeze. Also, it sounds like we may be able to enter Hard Freeze as soon as tomorrow. If you have any concerns about further work needed, please report in ASAP.

Please watch 1235382 too (Text and Font dialog crashes...) which is new and not on your list, but close to extinction.
In this regard, I cannot understand why, in sp_desktop_set_event_context(), an SPEventContext is freed which is only part of a SPTextContext. Of course, this destroys the SPTextContext. And how to fix?
