librsvg-2.16.0

[Randy McMurchy]

Version increment to 2.16.0

[Randy McMurchy]

Marking this as future as I'm not sure it is backwards compatible with the book version of GLib/GTK+.

[djensen@…]

now at 2.16.1. be sure to rip out the Libart_lgpl dependency, they went to cairo in 2005.

[djensen@…]

Rip out the popt dependency too, it is gone in favor of glib's GOption, The mozilla plugin doesn't build with seamonkey, it should with firefox.

ln -s seamonkey-config /usr/bin/mozilla-config

gets it to build with seamonkey, I dont know if it works. but I expect it does.

[dnicholson@…]

The librsvg plugin for mozilla is deprecated since there is native svg rendering code in gecko now (through cairo, I think). So long as you pass --enable-svg, anyway, which is commented in the book's example .mozconfig's. Nice to know, though.

[djensen@…]

I can't see that the native code works. It built, but seems to have no effect. Can anyone verify it works? The plugin does work.

sed -i 's:firefox:seamonkey-config &:' configure
sed -i 's:mozilla:seamonkey[version]:' moz-plugin/Makefile.in

replace [version] with -1.1.1 for the latest of course.

[dnicholson@…]

I've never had any problems with the native plugin in Firefox. So, you can't view any of the SVG samples below without the librsvg plugin?

[djensen@…]

OK, I finally got it going. We can rip the Mozilla dependency out too.

Now it's Python. The /usr/bin/rsvg is just a python wrapper giving legacy support to the new /usr/bin/rsvg-convert. There is a man page for rsvg but not for rsvg-convert, grrr.. Running each with --help will show the differences.

So I suppose one should say Python is an optional requirement.

Closing this ticket for David as librsvg has been updated.
