Bug 252510 – media-gfx/inkscape bundles a copy of libcroco

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2008-12-25 20:15:44 UTC]

Would be nice to use the system copy instead.

[Comment 1 Markus Meier 2009-01-04 15:28:04 UTC]

the internal copy is a more recent copy of libcroco (according to upstreams svn) and will go away when libcroco-0.47 will be released.

Ten years later, it is still bundled.

[Comment 3 Andreas K. Hüttel 2020-05-06 20:33:52 UTC]

Still bundled.

[Comment 4 Sam James 2021-01-07 04:24:56 UTC]

So, I think https://gitlab.com/inkscape/libcroco may have become a de-facto successor to libcroco in general?

Looks like it, yes. Someone more familiar with gnomish stuff should try packaging a snapshot.

Any gnomes around?

Basically the build system got replaced with CMake, and all support for 
standalone install removed on the way. Hacking it back in, but that's kind 
of an unrewarding task...
