The quality of the Autopackage builds could be greatly increased with more consistent testing. There is a need for volunteers running various distros (Slackware, Suse, Mandrake, Fedora, Debian) and various versions of these distros to work with the autopackager to ensure compatibility throughout the release cycle. This work involves regular downloading and installing of inkscape autopackages (about 10MB), submitting detailed bug reports to the autopackager and testing fixes as they are prepared.

Update: I think I've gotten a few of the old problems with autopackage fixed. I could really use some testers on any distro where problems have been reported before. RPM based distros. Slackware. Mandrake(Mandriva).
Things are looking up. So lets get this tested out and stabilized ASAP for release. Please.

I tested http://inkscape.modevia.com/ap/inkscape200611230042.package on Mandrake 10:
~/.local/bin/.proxy.inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Running ldd on the executable, I see two missing libs:
libssl.so.0.9.8 => not found libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => not found
At least it's different than before, so that's a big progress! Hope you can fix it easily now.
The latest one works for me:
http://inkscape.modevia.com/ap/inkscape200611231855.package
Thanks Aaron! That removes a major obstacle on the way to 0.45. Others, please test it too and report.
Now, let's make sure that
- autopackages - windows builds (ideally installers, not just zips) - osx builds
are built reliably daily, so that people can easily test the new version and all the fixes.
The report of this test must be sent for this list inkscape-user@? or list inkscape-tester@?
