[arch-general] Inkscape maintainer MIA?
Hi arch-general, I'd like to point your attention to the Inkscape package: Inkscape version 0.47 was released on November 25. This is a very significant release that many Inkscape users have been waiting patiently. However, the Arch Linux Inkscape maintainer, Tobias Kieslich, seems to be missing in action. Looking at his FlySpray activity, his last comment seems to be dated November 18. Can anyone please look into resolving this? Regards, Marti

A patch to make it compile with poppler-0.12.2 is available here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/487038 (look for reply #4 on that page). I have checked myself that it works. Bye.

Is an upstream bug filed on that?

Isn't the link he posted an upstream bug? Its on launchpad and specific to inkscape.

Oh you are right. I was skeptical because Ubuntu people tend to put bugs on Launchpad and only fix it in their packages but not in upstream. I was unaware Inkscape actually used Launchpad itself.

The comment two below that starts "From what I can tell, that patch is horrendously incorrect". I have never heard "horrendously incorrect" describe a good patch before...

I suppose the patch works, but according to the commenter he says the way it works is actually a hack which may cause problems if 'certain spectrums' are used (going from memory).

shows why we disagree on patches. The proposed patch may compile, but the abi break had a reason and casting it away won't get you very far. -- Arvid Asgaard Technologies

I think this should be fixed in poppler, as it's an ABI break with 0.12.1. The current inkscape package crashes with a symbol error with 0.12.2. Such things shouldn't happen on a stable branch.

inkscape-nognome 0.47-1 from AUR compiles and runs fine... (I just installed it four days ago). I have poppler 0.12.2-1 installed. The only issue I've seen so far is some Unicode characters being messed up on PDF import in Inkscape, but I can't tell for sure whether that's an issue with version 0.47 specifically, as my old 0.46 binary now crashes altogether upon trying to import those non-standard-characters-containing PDF files, with a "symbol lookup error" (a symbol belonging to poppler, that is).
