still some effects don’t work , just workin in the stable release . as perspective ! am trying to figure it out

Thanks again

Okay, I compiled the latest and greatest one this morning for you (Sept 7th, 2008). I didn’t bother filling out any of the package details. It’s version 19811. I installed it in my virtual machine and it installed just fine after I updated my libpango packages.

You can find the deb package and misc files here: http://inkscape.heathenx.org

The compiled dev. edition , is crashed in simpled tasks and most of the filters never works , as they are working on the stable version ;( .

Well, that’s why they call them devel versions. They’re sometimes unstable. If it helps I can try to make a deb package for you of the mos current one. Unfortunately, it will overwrite your stable version.

Personally, I haven’t noticed much crashed in the recent builds. I use my dev version more often then I use the stable version for my own stuff.

so i removed them all and back to using the old stable package ( it stopped crashing ) , but somehow, i can’t try or use any of the new tools and cool stuff .

compiling from source takes time and never done without errors !!!

through my search i found many un-official packages for debian , however many of them are old and no updates weekly ,

i tired to add http://art.sidux.com/ to my apt sources.list , but somehow it dosen’t work !!!

am still trying ( hope it’ll be stable )

Originally, I thought that I wanted to make these Inkscape deb’s available but I’m not sure what is the best way to go about it. I fear that I really don’t know what I’m doing and I wouldn’t be able to troubleshoot install problems for people.

I have stopped making deb packages for myself and have chosen to compile into a separate directory so that I can have both versions on my system. I use Ted Gould’s install procedure and it has worked very well.

download from: http://inkscape.modevia.com/svn-snap/?M=D
cd inkscape-XXXXX
./autogen.sh
mkdir build
cd build
../configure –prefix=`pwd`/../install
make install

some people find it hard to compile it from source on ubuntu , lack of dev. packages .

i also compiled it and make my own package in order to try your spiro tutorial

I was messing around with dh_make and discovered the man page for it. I can set the package name to “inkscape-svn” like you are doing in the inkscape.spec file. Here is what I am doing now:

Before:
dh_config –createorig

Now:
dh_make –createorig –single –packagename inkscape-svn

or

dh_make -r -s -p inkscape-svn (just a shorter version of the above)

I’m re-compiling now and hopefully I’ll be able to have both stable and svn versions installed.

Btw, I did check out art.sidux.com repo but I’m afraid to use them. Since those are built for Debian Sid are they ok to use for Ubuntu Hardy? I’m thinking about hosting my deb packages too. I’m not interested in setting up a repo though. Maybe Richard and I can put that somewhere on our web site.

Btw, I was able to compile another one this morning. I think it was revision 19185.
