TL; DR:
Pin
inkscape-1.3.2
.Background
inkscape-1.4
was recently released. The patch included inmark-testing
is leftover frominkscape-1.3.2
and patching fails. Build fails without the patch.I played around with the
1.4
patches that Gentoo is using but didn't have any luck, possibly due to them being for newer versions ofpoppler
. Gentoo seems to be onpoppler-24.11.0
with an additional backport patch forpoppler-24.10
.mark-testing
is onpoppler-24.04.0
. (The newerpoppler
may be needed for the font editing features ininkscape-1.4
- that's where the compile seems to be failing. Or possibly, just in the general font handling.)After a discussion on Discord, the consensus was that updating
poppler
is probably necessary forinkscape-1.4
to build. However, since it touches so many other packages, it's likely to be a big job and theopenssl
version update (Also, a big job.) is a better use of developer time, especially due to it being a security update.The conclusion, was to pin
inkscape-1.3.2
for now.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
