Inkscape-0.44 on Gentoo Linux

As it can take some time until the official ebuild has made it through rsync, here is it. Just save it into your overlay inkscape directory (see below) and name it 'inkscape-0.44.ebuild'.

Inkscape Subversion on Gentoo Linux

The Subversion ebuild of Inkscape makes getting the latest copy as easy as "emerge =inkscape-9999" : )

How to do it

• If you have not already done so,set up a portage overlay. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=5#doc_chap2
• Download and save the ebuild to media-gfx/inkscape/inkscape-9999.ebuild inside your portage overlay (you will need to create those directories if you haven't already done so). Or copy it from below:

• Open a console and as root run 'ebuild <portage overlay>/media-gfx/inkscape/inkscape-9999.ebuild digest' (substitute <portage overlay> with your portage overlay directory
• Now run 'echo "media-gfx/inkscape" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords'.
• Now you can simply run 'emerge inkscape' to get the latest Subversion version of Inkscape!
