Thanks for the report. To backport from Oneiric to Maverick we'll need
to also backport to Natty. Are you able to test it works there too?
(same for your other request)

Cheers,

I can only test Maverick.

I'll take a look at natty and attach buildlogs shortly.

Natty 64-bit pbuilder build completed successfully. Buildlog attached

Natty 64-bit build installs and runs fine.

Attaching a deb for natty 64-bit for testing

Great, could you quickly check that the reverse dependencies I mentioned
to you on IRC (sorry, I don't remember offhand exactly which they were)
still work with the newer Inkscape? We'll then be good to go for the
backport :-)

Thanks for testing.

Cheers,

Hi Iain,

I'll check the rdepends as soon as I can. However, I'm working overseas for a couple of weeks, so my response might not be particularly speedy! I had a quick check after our discussion, and it looks like there may be a couple more reverse dependencies to investigate. I will report back as soon as I can.

Were you thinking of backporting only to Natty first, or to Maverick & Natty at the same time? I haven't performed any Maverick checks at all yet.

inkscape_0.48.2-0ubuntu1 fails to build in Maverick pbuilder, unfortunately [see attached buildlog]. There are a few unmet dependencies:

* dh_translations
* libwpd-dev (>= 0.9.0)
* libwpg-dev (>= 0.2.0)

It shouldn't be too difficult to fix this, however:

* dh_translations can be dropped in favour of the old-fashioned manual patching method.
* Upstream inkscape should now build cleanly with any version of the libwp*-dev packages, so we can just drop the versioning on these dependencies.

In the meantime, shall we just focus on getting the Natty backport sorted first? I'll check the reverse-dependencies shortly.

Maverick builds very easily from source so the backport shouldn't be too much trouble as you indicate.

Reverse-dependency listing for natty:

$ apt-cache rdepends --no-suggests inkscape

Reverse Depends:
  zoomer
  ubuntustudio-graphics
  ubuntu-edu-tertiary
  ubuntu-edu-secondary
  open-font-design-toolkit
  ink-generator
  gnome-office
  ezgo-imaging
  brdesktop-gnome

(Please let me know if you'd like "suggests" dependencies to be included too)

All reverse dependencies for Natty run successfully. Please consider processing the Natty backport.

The following are all just metapackages. No need for testing.

* ubuntu-edu-tertiary, ubuntu-edu-secondary, ezgo-imaging, brdesktop-gnome (Recommends)

Great! Ack from ubuntu-backports for the natty-backports task. Thanks for your testing.

For M, do you want to prepare the debdiff for the source changes? If not, I can do that but I might need some help testing as I don't have a Maverick environment to hand.

I can take a look at maverick early next week, but if you get there first then I'll certainly help with testing. Thanks!

Maverick version committed to lp:~valavanisalex/maverick-backports/fix-844697. Debdiff attached.

Patch looks sane. What's the reason for those BD versions? If they are truly unnecessary then they should be dropped in the development package too.

Needs testing - zoomer, ink-generator, lyx (alternate depends with rsvg)

Hi, the B-D versions for wpg/wpd are no longer necessary... it's a legacy of a now-defunct patch, so we can now drop them.

If you're interested, the rough timeline is as follows:

1. Upstream inkscape <= 0.48.1 depends on wpg-0.1.0

2. Debian introduces wpg-0.2.0

3. Debian Inkscape package 0.48.1-2 introduces new patch to build Inkscape against wpg-0.2.0. B-D versions introduced. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604825

4. Upstream inkscape 0.48.2 released: builds against either wpg-0.1.0 or 0.2.0

5. (No Debian package of 0.48.2 yet)

6. Ubuntu package 0.48.2-0ubuntu1 drops wpg patch (better patch now upstream). B-D versions not dropped.

Maverick 64-bit version of inkscape_0.48.2-0ubuntu1~maverick1 installs and runs correctly. Deb attached.

Awesome, ack for maverick too then :-)

Thanks! I'm running a build of inkscape_0.48.2-0ubuntu1~maverick1 in lucid. I'll let you know how it goes.

I guess there's not much point going for Hardy too, is there?

I wouldn't bother, it's not supported for the desktop any more

Alright, thanks! Can you add a lucid-backports debdiff? Target lucid-backports and version suffix ~lucid1, then we'll be done. Great work :-)

Lucid backport debdiff as requested. Bzr branch is on its way if you need that too.

Nah, not necessary. Thanks: ack for lucid-backports. I'll upload these diffs once the natty backport is processed.
