FYI: InkscapeLite in Puppy Linux
This is a courtesy email to let you guys know what has happened with "Inkscape Lite". Awhile back I received some help from this mail-list, to choose an appropriate version of Inkscape for use in Puppy Linux.
I chose v0.36, which was the last that used C, not C++, and did not use GTKmm. I made some very small mods to the source and the result we named "InkscapeLite", or just "InkLite" and it appeared in Puppy version 2.10 and now in v2.11.
Puppy home page: http://www.puppyos.com/ Download page: http://www.puppyos.com/download/downpage.htm
The binary tarball for InkscapeLite is to be found at Ibiblio: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pupget_packages...
The source tarball is at: http://puptrix.org/sources/
We also have binary tarballs for the full Inkscape, v0.43 and it is interesting to compare sizes:
Binary pkg Executable share/inkscape v0.43 shared gtkmm 3807K 1932K v0.43 static gtkmm 5619K 1932K v0.36.2 "InkLite" 1042K 928K
...interesting! Of course, the executables are all stripped.
If anyone wants to do a bit of maintaining of InkLite, please do!

Great. I'm glad you were able to find an Inkscape that'll work. But, it'd be nice if we can figure out how to use a more current version.

Should we put this in to a SVN branch? What are people thinking about this?

This is a bit surprising to me. What do other people think? It seems that when Bryce was doing his status reports the number of LOC was reducing over time, or atleast not moving towards 4x the number. I realize that 0.43 includes things like Potrace... but almost 4x?

Yes, we should most definitely do this...hopefully in the future when we have things more lib'ized, we could connect up our more current core to a much lighter interface for things like puppy linux, pdas, etc.

Yah, that is weird...I would like to see InkscapeLite in our tree and think it would be great to work with you all to make releases of this and get it out in the hands of people on a regular basis...
This also has a lot of uses for kids, etc...
