Fair enough, at least you are aware of the issue from day one.

Good luck :)  Thanks for packaging nanosvg !

Whoops, nice catch thanks.

Yep I realize that, but unfortunately, while there is a network of
forks, there doesn't seem to be a clear de-facto "upstream" apart from
this one as far as I can tell. fltk's fork[1] appears to be the only one
with versioned git tags, but it has no issue tracker or way to contact
upstream short of creating a pull request. memononen's repo seems to be
the original and the only one in the network with issues enabled.

My intention here is to package the latest git snapshot of
memononen/nanosvg, with the patch for this commit[2] from fltk/nanosvg
applied for the use of slic3r-prusa 2.6.0.

If this isn't acceptable, the only alternative I can see is to bundle
the nanosvg headers somewhere in `debian/` or as a separate component
tarball in slic3r-prusa, and patch slic3r-prusa's build system to use
that, now that slic3r-prusa upstream's unbundled their copy.

I had also considered asking slic3r-prusa's upstream to just bundle the
copy of nanosvg that they need, but I think Debian generally leans
towards unbundling libraries, not bundling new ones.

I'm open to ideas -- I'm not sure what the best course of action is
here.

4 years ago the project was declared as not actively maintained:

  Description : simple svg parsing library

NanoSVG is a simple stupid single-header-file SVG parse. The output of
the parser is a list of cubic bezier shapes.

The library suits well for anything from rendering scalable icons in
your editor application to prototyping a game.

NanoSVG supports a wide range of SVG features, but something may be
missing, feel free to create a pull request!

The shapes in the SVG images are transformed by the viewBox and
converted to specified units. That is, you should get the same looking
data as your designed in your favorite app.

NanoSVG can return the paths in few different units. For example if you
want to render an image, you may choose to get the paths in pixels, or
if you are feeding the data into a CNC-cutter, you may want to use
millimeters.

The units passed to NanoSVG should be one of: 'px', 'pt', 'pc' 'mm',
'cm', or 'in'. DPI (dots-per-inch) controls how the unit conversion is
done.

If you don't know or care about the units stuff, "px" and 96 should get
you going.


I will be packaging this library under the Debian 3-D Printing Packages
team as a build-dependency of slic3r-prusa.
