inkscape-0.48.0 for lucid is available for testing: ppa:slavender/backports-testing

The Ubuntu Studio team will begin testing.

[Kaj Ailomaa (zequence)]

inkscape-0.48.0 from ppa:slavender/backports-testing works for me on Lucid.

[Scott Lavender (slavender)]

Installed from ppa and inkscape works in Lucid.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

This has a number of rdepends. The rdepends that are not metapackages will need to be tested with the newer inkscape.

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

Why not go for inkscape 0.48.1 (from Oneiric)? It is the current upstream stable release, and it fixes a lot of bugs in addition to all the nice new features.

The PPA works fine on my amd64 10.04.3 LTS. Thanks!
