Re: Inkscape 0.92.4 bugfix release

i have tried macports and homebrew and prefer not to use either. i am
currently using valerio's current build 0.92.3, or so this is what the
gitlab project states. i find this build to be quicker to load and meets my
needs. my comment was actually directed at the possibility of the download
link referencing this build. until this build can be incorporated into the
current source code to where xquartz is no longer needed for the mac and no
longer needed period, then a favorable solution for mac users to the
problem would be to establish a symbiotic relationship with valerio and
request the link to his 0.92.3 build on gitlab be established on the
inkscape web site with a brief explanation of this "fork" of the project
for mac users.

i am not a programmer. i would help if i had any programming skills. this
situation of a lack of mac programmers is a frustration to mac users as
well as the developers. even though mac is a unix based os, it is not
linux, and with all of the new security measures incorporated into mojave,
it appears that apple is trying to stifle open source programs from being
used on apple products.

inkscape has a current build for mac that works and is under development.
would it not be proper for us to embrace what we have? the developers have
been talking about not using quartz/xquartz for as long as i have been
using inkscape. the model exists, why not move in that direction?

best,
