Okay...

Well, this issue clearly demonstrates the danger of the bus factor. We have one rather experienced packager on OSX who has been unavailable. We also have ~suv, who wants to learn more about it (has proposed modifications and questions) but the "mentor" in this situation has been unavailable in that context as well. Hopefully at some point Michael can write in-depth on the wiki about making the super-awesome packages and how to set up a build machine akin to the one he had which I believe died on him.

As the Release Warden I am very torn in this situation. In the past there has been community backlash when we've announced a release and packages have been unavailable for a specific platform. They effectively feel like they're second class citizens. Knowing this, I really feel like I need to hold a hard line about not making any announcement. However, given that this is an open and community project, as well as at this point a substantial amount of time has passed, I'm putting it up to a vote.

This vote applies only to core contributors (devs, translators,& bug mavens) and will be open for 1 week.

Option 1: Do nothing until we can get proper packages for OSX. Option 2: Do not make announcements and quietly update links where possible. Option 3: Make announcements and apologize and explain why we have left out a group of our users.

Please do take into consideration that for Option 3, if you do not help users daily (whether via IRC, forums, twitter, or various other methods) you are putting others on the front line for to deal with upset users. However, it may also lessen their burden of having to repeatedly tell users in bug reports that their bug is fixed and where to get the update. (please think of ~suv and others)

Option 2 or 3. I don't care about announcements. But please fix the links. It is ridiculous that 0.48.2 still has so many Windows downloads every day.

It's fun to delay a release for a couple of days to align release on all platforms, but four months is clearly not fun anymore. The way I see it, technically we have temporarily dropped support for Mac. I think it's not bad to have people realize that we are a volunteer project, and without volunteers, nothing happens.

Thanks, Johan

1 is unacceptable in terms of delivering.

2 is likely to lead to confusions.

3 gets my vote. It _will_ lead to extra work, but among the three options it's the only way you can both deliver and stay in touch with the community.

Any other voters?

Voting for Option 3.

P.S. The Windows packages are not complete for 0.48.3.1 either: no zip|7z archives nor debug files. Are there plans to upload a second set of packages (including the installer) based on the current devlibs - before making an announcement? IIUC there have been a few changes since the first installer build for 0.48.3.1 was created in late February.

The lack of complete Windows packages is also why I haven't built Inkscape Portable 0.48.3.1. If I needed to I could work from the installer, but it's more convenient to work from the 7z.

Thanks for bringing this up. Win32 devs and ~suv, how do you feel about using current devlibs with the release as opposed to based on the rev the existing installer used? I'm not sure if any regressions were introduced or anything.

I'm not aware we had regressions (based on recent trunk builds) reported in the bug tracker which seem related to the latest changes in the devlibs (r29-r31 primarily fixed build failures of current trunk).

Whether the update of cairomm from 1.8.10 to 1.10.0 has any positive (or negative) side-effects for 0.48.x builds I can't tell.

~suv

I compiled the 48.3.1 win32 on my system. - with following changes to the original version - I changed the version info in the inkscape.rc and inkview.ec files in order to match the correct version - I used the latest devlibs, having new cairomm but the binaries diverge somehow. size of INkscape.exe original from sf: 12862464 bytes and my one's 13380096 bytes

I could create complete sets of packages: installer, 7zip and debug-info and push those to sf. This will replace a Inkscape-0.48.3.1-1.exe installer by Inkscape-0.48.3.1-2.exe

Do you want me to do that?

Without any negative feedback I pushed the inkscape-0.48.3.1-2 as I compiled. I uploaded 7z, debug.7z and the win32 installer.
