Forum: Inkscape Latest svn

I downloaded and installed an svn version. Is this 0.48? Post 0.48?
Prior to 0.48? The splash screen still says 0.47 but this may be
spurious. Source forge says it is version 22759

The SVN version is outdated.

After the release of Inkscape 0.47 the source code repository was moved
to launchpad (in December 2009) [1]. The repository now uses bazaar
instead of Subversion.

The SVN source code repository for Inkscape trunk on sf.net is still
accessible but no longer updated, the recent revisions (after 22583) are
for other branches (web site, testsuite, ...) hosted at sf.net that have
not yet been moved to launchpad [2].

You can find more information about bazaar and accessing the current
development branch at <http://www.inkscape.org/bzr.php>.

Thanks. I had forgotten about the bzr stuff. The bzr site seems to
believe that all Linux distros have bazaar, but Slackware doesn't.
However I managed to download it install it and use it. Currently my
Inkscape download via bzr is compiling. I had to run autogen.sh, then
./configure, then make.  Hope it makes it to the end without failure.

The reference to the svn version of Inkscape should be removed from
the web pages. At this point it is just a blind alley.

There was cvs, then svn, then bzr. And Scribus uses cmake instead of
make. It would be nice if we could stabilize the repository systems
and concentrate on improving applications instead, but someone is
always reinventing the wheel.
