[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

Does anyone have any idea why there's no lp:debian/experimental/inkscape branch on Launchpad yet? Until it appears, we can only perform this merge manually

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

I have made a manual merge, because lp:debian/experimental/inkscape is not yet available.

Please check the debdiff very carefully, because (a) I'm still pretty new to this and (b) It's my first manual merge

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

(build test in progress on my local machine)

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

Test version in my PPA: ppa:valavanisalex/inkscape

https://launchpad.net/~valavanisalex/+archive/inkscape

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

Oops... FTBFS in PPA for i386 and amd64

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

Failure seems to be here:

install -o root -g root -m 644 /build/buildd/inkscape-0.48.0/debian/inkscape.xpm /build/buildd/inkscape-0.48.0/debian/inkscape/usr/share/pixmaps/inkscape.xpm
install: cannot create regular file `/build/buildd/inkscape-0.48.0/debian/inkscape/usr/share/pixmaps/inkscape.xpm': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: /usr/bin/fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch gave error exit status 2

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

OK, I'm quite confused about this. debian/rules hasn't changed since the last Ubuntu release. Any ideas why this line is causing problems all of a sudden?

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

Thanks to tumbleweed and evilshadeslayer on #ubuntu-motu, I have found the solution. We just need to add usr/share/pixmaps/ to debian/dirs

I'll upload the fixed debdiff shortly

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

New (hopefully final) debdiff. Just added a couple of notes in the changelog about the patches which were taken upstream.

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

Successful i386 build in PPA

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

Successful amd64 build in PPA

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

Installs and runs successfully on i386

[Iulian Udrea (iulian)]

I've unsubscribed motu-release and subscribed ubuntu-release. Please only subscribe ubuntu-release in the future.

Marking as new as the FFe hasn't been approved yet.

[Ted Gould (ted)]

+1 to the merge. There are many fixes and features in 0.48. It has been out since roughly feature freeze so it has had some time to bake. There is also a nighly PPA that was tested previous to 0.48 so it should land softly.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Ack. FFe approved. Leaving at New for sponsor's review.

[Mantas Kriaučiūnas (mantas)]

Inkscape 0.48 still isn't associated with lots of supported filetypes including PDF, Postscript (ps), Encapsulated Postscript (eps), Adobe illustrator (ai), AutoCAD DXF, etc., see bug #278307
I've patched inkscape.desktop.in file from inkscape sources and added main supported filetypes into MimeType line.
Please add the patch, attached to bug #278307 into version 0.48 and allow opening supported files directly from GNOME/KDE and other standards compliant file manager.

Also don't forget to include update-desktop-database command in debian/postinst script.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Please file a new bug for this. This bug is done.

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Thanks for working on this, I've uploaded it now

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

That's great news. Thanks very much.

[sam tygier (samtygier)]

inkscape 0.48 hasn't turned up in the repos yet. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape does not show 0.48.

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

That's because it hasn't been approved by anyone yet. We're in final freeze, please be patient.

It's sat in the queue, you can see this for yourself here: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+queue?queue_state=1&queue_text=

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Unsubscribing the release team since otherwise, due to the bogus baltix task it won't come off of our bug list.
