Development Builds of Inkscape for fedora

I have recently just started building RPMS for development versions of Inkscape. The previous stable version of fedora was first released back in August 23, 2010, so these development versions have a bunch of new features and improvements. There are currently builds for Fedora 17, 18 and 19 available. I hope to be able to update this to the inkscape trunk at least once a week.

To set this up on your Fedora machine, first download the .repo file:

sudo curl -o /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-inkscape-unstable.repo http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/ryanlerch/inkscape-unstable/fedora-inkscape-unstable.repo

Then tell yum to update inkscape:

sudo yum update inkscape

    Hi,

    That’s awesome stuff, very much appreciated Just a quick suggestion: would it be possible to get a gtk3 build in the repo as well? I’d love to test it :-)

      I haven’t tried building the GTK3 version of Inkscape yet. I will give it a go and see if i can get it working!
