Can someone please make Debian packages as well, I would love to test this on Ubuntu. Thanks.
OK. I've solved all the stupid problems, which were mostly caused by me bleeding on the edge. i386 sid packages of 0.40pre2 (labelled as 0.39+0.40pre2) and 0.39+cvs20041111 should be available within an hour.
Add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list file
deb http://trent-buck.is-a-geek.net/~twb/deb unstable main
-trent
WARNING! These packages are made unofficially be me, for my use. They should be OK, but if they aren't, I accept no responsibility.
WARNING! There are a few quirky things in that repository, including CVS builds of some debian packages. If this confuses your package manglement program, consider just downloading Inkscape package manually.
