[03-20-07 18:12]: i find that when new software comes out, it takes a while to get the update quickly. i have been asked by the inkscape folks if i would be interested in packaging rpms for opensuse.
as new to this os as i am and not being a programmer, not afraid to learn though, would someone be interested, having the time, to walk me through the process? i know the software is available, and i think it's loaded on my machine.
You might want to touch hands with Pascal Bleser <guru at unixtech dot be> as he is currently providing Inkscape rpms for openSUSE.

thanks, but i'm not on a 64 bit system. my hardware is so old (how old is it?
I'm curious how many people on this list actually will get that reference. :)
) i'm running, if you can call this running, a p3 450mhz processor and 768mb ram. sure it's slow, but i don't have anywhere to go any time soon. ;^)

Look into Checkinstall. Though something like Inkscape will be updated for both 64-bit system and 32-bit systems, you can always roll your own using checkinstall. http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/ Since I'm on a 32-bit system, there are 32-bit versions. I've used it quite successfully, and I'm a pointy-haired manager. -- kai Free Compean and Ramos http://www.grassfire.org/142/petition.asp http://www.perfectreign.com/?q=node/46 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
