How do you do that???
Is it a bash script you have??? ubp???
Does it look in the repositories (sources.list)?
It looks pretty useful!!!

It's called "madison-lite",

In case you breeze past it, in the middle Shot (Piotr) posts an attached script that takes care of most of the work for you. You'll have to create a few folders the first time, but then after that it'll be a wonder to use. It's much faster than pulling up a packages.ubuntu.com.

How to install Inkscape 0.43 on Breezy Badger
Step 1:
Open up synaptic or apt-get install:
libglibmm-2.4-dev
libgtkmm-2.4-dev
libSigc++2.0-dev
Step 2:
Get the following packages from Debian testing:
libgc1c2_6.5-1_i386.deb
libgc-dev_6.5-1_i386.deb
libgtkspell0_2.0.10-3_i386.deb
libgtkspell-dev_2.0.10-3_i386.deb
and install them.
Download the Inkscape 0.43 source and compile and install it.
Or Alternate Step 2:
Download this package http://keithperkins.net/files/inkscape-.43+deps.tar.gz
extract it, and dpkg -i all the files in the order above, and then do the same for the Inkscape_0.43-1_i386.deb
(Yes I made one)
Or you can, also download just the Inkscape .deb package http://keithperkins.net/files/inkscape_0.43_1.tar.gz
I posted this in the Customization Forum last night but it hasn't been moderated yet (or their not going to let it in--I've not word on it, and don't know how longit's supposed to take). I made a .deb for Inkscape .43 and tar/gzipped it up with the deps that aren't in Ubuntu repos, and uploaded to my site. Also just the .deb if anyone just wants that.
Works fine on my computer--YMMV.
If anyone of the backports people want to use it for the backports go ahead.

Thanks kperkins, the debs worked great for me!

I know this must be sacrilege or something, but I got 0.43 to work with an autopackage installation. I'm still waiting for inkscape to get to dapper so it will be backported though. I'm trying not have mixed debs here. [although I have no idea of the amount of trash autopackage generates]

[kperkins]

Just an addendum--I needed to install libxml-xql-perl, to get some of the plugins/effect to work (and some don't seem to be woring at all).

Running alien on the static fedora rpm also seems to work fine.
