Re: [Inkscape-devel] Missing nightly builds for Linux&MacOS
Hi,
The trick, of course, is having volunteers to create the builds. Often I have considered halting the win32 builds. :-)
There are some almost nightly binreloc-enabled Linux builds here:
http://inkscape.modevia.com/btool/?C=M;O=D
But since they are purely for testing, they do not provide the required library dependencies. People can download their own.
Well, everything on that site is for testing (not for a casual user), so they are a bit more effort than a regular install.

Hi,
I've found a little error in inkscape website. On page http://www.inkscape.org/download/?lang=en in section Compiled packages should be nightly builds, but nightly builds are available only for Windows, other systems have only compiled stable versions.

I don't think that is funny at all ;-) ! Although I can imagine the hassle and frustration in maintaining this stuff.
These builds are very valuable to me, because at work I only have XP, and it's only at work that I really use Inkscape. All coding is done at home though using Fedora, so without these nightly windows builds I would be very less likely to find any bugs of my commits, while being at work.
Of course I could compile Inkscape during my lunch breaks, but I'd rather not go that route ;-)
It's excellent how you've set up everything using btool and the libs in SVN! It couldn't have been much easier.
Thanks,
Diederik
