I'm aware of the gcc issues but I thought it was mentioned that .42 was available in Debian unstable but I dont' see it there (latest 0.41-5). Any word? If it's not going to be there for a while, what is the best alternative, autopackage ?

The Debian maintainer of inkscape (Wolfi) will be back online around 7Aug, so inkscape 0.42 should enter official Debian unstable around mid-August.
In the meantime, sourceforge has inkscape-common and an inkscape binary package.

Hi alltogether!

I'm back until friday now and ATM I'm in the process of building the packages for inkscape 0.42. I hope to send them to my sponsor for the upload tomorrow. This upload will not include the split into two packages since this would delay until inkscape becomes installable in unstable further (common has to go through the new queue). I'll do this when I'll be fully reestablished at home after Aug, 15th. I already finished backports to sarge, so people using debian stable can put the following lines in their /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/~wolfi/inkscape sarge/ deb-src http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/~wolfi/inkscape sarge/
I will try to provide these backports for ppc and i386 as much in sync with the release process as possible.
Thanks,
Wolfi

I've added these two lines to download.php (but haven't made them live). I don't know what kind of bandwidth might be used.
Keep in mind that 0.42.1 is around the corner, btw.

Thanks. I think that there won't be any bandwidth problems, but I'm not sure how to proceed if there were troubles and I had to take this link down. Perhaps I could move the packages to sf then. But then people couldn't use apt-get, I think. Just let's test it.

Yes, I know that. But from tomorrow I'll be on holidays for another week without any internet connection. The packeges for 0.42 were sent to my sponsor some minutes ago, btw. They'll appear in unstable soon.
Thanks,
Wolfi

I would recommend just building from source, since the source packages include debian build files.
Installation will be *similar to* the following, but I forget the filename of the source package, and the directory name that is extracted, so I'm just making that up :)
apt-get build-dep inkscape
mkdir ~/tmp cd ~/tmp
tar xvzf inkscape-0.42.tar.gz cd inkscape-0.42
Then:
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot
If this gives any errors about missing dependancies, just install them with apt-get install.
Finally, when it has built successfully, you should find the debian file in the parent directory:
cd .. dpkg -i inkscape*.deb rm -rf inkscape*
The advantage here is that you're installing an almost-official debian package, and it should be no problem to upgrade to the next version in debian itself, once that becomes available.
Hi Lee,
Would you mind putting this information about installing for Debian into the Inkscape wiki? Even if it's not 100% accurate I think it will help people trying to get it set up.
Thanks, Bryce

Sure :) Note that I'm actually using Ubuntu now myself, so this is from memory, rather than experience, but I think it should be OK. Hope I found the right wiki page for it.. :)

Thanks Lee, looks great. :-)

Maybe it would be good to have a link from the downloads page to an installation help page (whether in wiki or documentation or FAQ's)
For example I had trouble installing, I found there was no place to turn to on the web site. Such a page will be even more useful as users approach 1,000,000 and users becomes less sophisticated.

I agree, this is a good idea. There needs to be a couple of notes for the OSX package, and such a page sounds sounds like the best place for them. In addition, this would likely be a good place to document any bugs/issues with the current release, sort of like a first point of call before people visit the bug tracker with their problems.

That's a good idea - this page is in CVS in the inkscape_web module. Would you like to update it to ensure it points at the appropriate pages for more info?
