It sounds like the sort of thing that would fit well in Fedora Extras. Note: Inkscape 0.40 will include this as a module. Inkscape is usually available on Fedora US Reassigning to distribution. Agreed, fedora extras seems more apppropriate for now. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040115 Description of problem: potrace is a very useful package. It's a 98kb binary RPM and it's 100% GPL. Please consider adding it for future Fedora distributions. potrace is a utility for tracing a bitmap, which means, transforming a bitmap into a smooth, scalable image. The input is a bitmap (PBM, PGM, PPM, or BMP format), and the default output is an encapsulated PostScript file (EPS). A typical use is to create EPS files from scanned data, such as company or university logos, handwritten notes, etc. The resulting image is not "jaggy" like a bitmap, but smooth. It can then be rendered at any resolution. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): potrace-1.5-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try running "potrace" ... command not found 2. rpm -q potrace ... not there! :( Actual Results: potrace is not part of fedora core Expected Results: I would hope it could get adding esp. since it's so small.
