Package: inkscape
Version: 0.43-0.0etch2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

inkscape 0.43 has collaborative, networked editing via XMPP built-in,
with the Inkboard project. More info is available about it in
/usr/share/doc/inkscape/NEWS.gz

The attached patch seems to enable this feature for the debian package.

However, upstream does say that there are known bugs in inkboard, and
of course opening any complicated desktop package to networked input
is a bit scary from a security point of view. These concerns should
be considered as well.

Mitigating the security concern somewhat is that it looks like you
need to explicitly connect to an XMPP server for any of the
connectivity to be activated, so users who stay unconnected are
proabably not in any increased risk.

Thanks for maintaining this package,
