[FFe] Please merge inkscape (main) with version 0.48.0-1 from Debian experimental main

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

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

(build test in progress on my local machine)

Test version in my PPA: ppa:valavanisalex/inkscape

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

Oops... FTBFS in PPA for i386 and amd64

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

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?

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

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

Successful i386 build in PPA

Successful amd64 build in PPA

Installs and runs successfully on i386

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.

+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.

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

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.

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

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

That's great news. Thanks very much.

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

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=

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