As reported, the server died, and the new one is not yet in action. www.scribus.net is redirected to Franz's Scribus page until the new one is up. With regards to CVS, as Peter posted yesterday on the mailing list: Hi all, As our main www server and CVS have been down, I have prepared a tarball of the most recent CVS snapshot. We know several CVS junkies who have been missing their fix. ;) Notes: You now need libxml2-devel to compile Scribus. In return, you get Open Office Writer and OO Draw import goodness, thanks to Riku Leino (OO Writer importer and the importer framework) and Franz (OO Draw importer). Both importers work *really* well. E.g. a 600 page OO Writer doc imports fine. Plus, the usual bug fixes and translation updates. It runs fine and is very stable. I use it daily and trust it for production use. That said all standard disclaimers apply, it could set your hair on fire, give you a rash, format your hard drive, install winders and other nastiness. :-) As one Redhat devel said when describiing Rawhide, the RH CVS snapshot tree: "Rawhide comes with no guarantees, if it breaks you get to keep the pieces." We have reverted to the older makefiles temporarily. Expect lots of uglyness when running configure. It will work, even with automake 1.9.x md5sum: 143c163978f07695e03dc290d69e7b8c size: 4392481 bytes I have signed the tarball with my GPG key: This includes a partial update of the docs and screen shots. Location: http://www.mrdocs.uklinux.net/scribus-1.2.1cvs.tar.bz2 GPG signature on the tarball: http://www.mrdocs.uklinux.net/scribus-1.2.1cvs.sig I recommend wget -c http://www.mrdocs.uklinux.net/scribus-1.2.1cvs.tar.bz2 Steps: 1) tar -xjf ./scribus-1.2.1cvs.tar.bz2 2) cd ./Scribus 3) the usual $ ./configure [options] && make 4) make install as root To confirm the authenticity: $gpg --verify ./scribus-1.2.1cvs.sig ./scribus-1.2.1cvs.tar.bz2 ** You can double check by importing my GPG key into your key ring, to verify it. My public key, which is also signed by most of the other devels is on most public keyservers.
