This is the first pre-release of Inkscape 0.45. The purpose of this release is to give packagers a package to test their procedures on, so we can identify where problems are in time for the pre1 release. Much work still remains before Inkscape 0.45 can be finalized.

Please experiment with creating packages (rpms, debs, zips, etc.) of this package and report any problems to the bug tracker.
Here's the issues I already know about:
* NEWS - release notes are not yet complete; we'll replace this with the finalized version later
* About screen is missing. Pending contest.
* keys.de.html is empty. This file was missing, and I created a 0-byte file just so make distcheck will pass. There is a bug in the bug tracker about this.
* For win32 there is a new 'buildtool' for building Inkscape, however the dist packaging notes in Wiki still reflect the old build approach. If other steps should be performed, someone please update the wiki to document the correct steps for the new system.

Added an autopackage.
Fellow packagers, I needed a few extra files to build from this tarball. Please see bug 1632894 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1632894&gr... for details.

While trying to build a debian package from this tarball, I encountered the following problem:
In file included from style.h:19, from desktop-style.cpp:24: sp-filter.h:16:31: error: number-opt-number.h: No such file or directory sp-filter.h:48: error: ‘NumberOptNumber’ does not name a type sp-gaussian-blur.h:24: error: ‘NumberOptNumber’ does not name a type desktop-style.cpp: In function ‘int objects_query_blur(GSList*, SPStyle*)’: desktop-style.cpp:1049: error: ‘struct SPGaussianBlur’ has no member named ‘stdDeviation’ make[3]: *** [desktop-style.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/wolfi/src/inkscape/0.45pre0/inkscape-0.45~pre0/src' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/wolfi/src/inkscape/0.45pre0/inkscape-0.45~pre0' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/wolfi/src/inkscape/0.45pre0/inkscape-0.45~pre0' make: *** [build] Error 2
It looks as if the file number-opt-number.h is missing in the tarball
Thanks,
Wolfi

Indeed it is. I filed a bug at https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1632894&gr...
