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 CVS on Gentoo Linux

The CVS ebuild of Inkscape makes getting the latest copy as easy as "emerge inkscape-cvs" : )

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-cvs/inkscape-cvs-0.42.ebuild inside your portage overlay (you will need to create those directories if you haven't already done so). http://inkscape.org/doc/inkscape-cvs-0.42.ebuild
• Open a console and as root run 'ebuild <portage overlay>/media-gfx/inkscape-cvs/inkscape-cvs-0.42.ebuild digest' (substitute <portage overlay> with your portage overlay directory
• Now run 'echo "media-gfx/inkscape-cvs ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords' (change "~x86" for whatever architecture you're on).
• Now you can simply run 'emerge inkscape-cvs' to get the latest CVS version of Inkscape!
