Bug 147620 – inkscape-0.44.1.ebuild (Update)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Hans Nieser 2006-09-14 15:49:48 UTC]

A new Inkscape version has been released. Although not published on the website yet, this is a final release. From the mailinglist announcement by Bryce Harrington:

Hi all,

The 0.44.1 release has been finalized and the code is now available for
download:

  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438&package_id=99112

Thanks go to Mental and all the translators and bug squashers who helped
put this point release together!

Packagers are encouraged to produce and upload packages for all
platforms at this time.  We will do the public announcement Monday
evening, which we hope gives packagers sufficient time.

The website download page needs to be updated, and a news item entered.
It would be great if someone could do these updates; otherwise I'll
tackle it as I have time this weekend.

Rejon, please prepare press release materials, and send notices about
this release Monday evening.

Everyone else, please do not submit information about this release to
any online sites until Monday evening, so that folks have time to do
packaging, website updating, etc.  

Thanks!
Bryce

Inkscape 0.44.1 changes with respect to 0.44

     * fix a crash on Windows ("python.exe can't find msvcrt71.dll") by
       providing that dll in the package;
     * fix hang in page size widget
     * on Mac OS X, removed problems with home folder path names
       containing spaces;
     * inkscape now finds libpng include headers on some systems where it
       previously failed to do so
     * several changes to allow compiling on glib-2.4 systems (e.g.
       RHEL4);
     * allow compiling on systems with incomplete boost library headers;
       recognize if boost is too old
     * inkscape now compiles with gcc-4.2.x.
     * fixed a bug where stderr output from scripts was not shown
     * fixed a bug affecting the recent files menu
     * resolution information is now saved in exported PNG files
     * fix some ODG export bugs
     * fix dia import
     * fix several include issues affecting building on Solaris
       (there are still some more problems, at least under Solaris 8, and
       similar ones on OpenBSD)
     * added missing German version of the advanced tutorial and made
       corrections to the calligraphy one; added missing Czech, German,
       and Brazil-Portuguese tutorials to tarball; added missing German
       keytable to tarball
     * applied changes to the German and Spanish translations of Inkscape
       strings
     * interactivity improvements at high zooms
     * fix for specifying CSS colors with percentages
     * re-enabled old PDF exporter alongside the new one
     * minor fixes to new PDF exporter (a major overhaul is still in the
       works)
     * fixup for invalid "s odipodi" namespace which has become
       widespread in Inkscape documents
     * Mac OS X packaging updates
     * miscellaneous build fixes


I've removed the gcc-4.2 patch and changed tar.bz2 to tar.gz as there is no bz2 archive available yet. Only tested on ~x86. This is the first time I've submitted an ebuild so someone should probably have a good look at it.
