Howdy,
So I (with some help from others) was trying to make a Snap for
Inkscape. My goal was to make it so that, when we have it, we can get
the 0.92 release to Ubuntu users on 16.04 LTS. Snaps do work for other
Linux distros, but it is preinstalled on Ubuntu. The snap that I built
is available here:
https://code.launchpad.net/~ted/+snap/inkscape
I have it built for i386 and amd64 right now for testing, but we can
enable other architectures (armhf? arm64?) when we start getting to a
real build. The snap is unoptimized and needs further testing, but I'd
love it if other people could install it and send me their results. One
major thing missing is the Python libs for the extensions. That's next
on my TODO. For information on installing snapd on a variety of Linux
distros you can get info here:
http://snapcraft.io/docs/core/install
Eventually I'd like to get a per-commit build going for the GTK3
release on the edge channel, but trying to get the stable release
version working first.
Thanks for feedback,
Ted
