Greetings, Fellow Debianists, this is not actually a bug report but something that might concern us all as a matter of Free Software use inside the Debian project:
The Debian logo file at http://www.debian.org/logos/openlogo.svg fails to load in the much-respected SVG-based graphics editor Inkscape (which I use daily and which works fine also for svg files not produced by itself). The error is this: $ inkscape openlogo.svg openlogo.svg:18: namespace warning : xmlns: URI &ns_svg; is not absolute xmlns="&ns_svg;" xmlns:xlink="&ns_xlink;" xmlns:a="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeSV ^ openlogo.svg:22: namespace warning : xmlns: URI &ns_vars; is not absolute <variableSets xmlns="&ns_vars;"> ^ openlogo.svg:25: namespace warning : xmlns: URI &ns_custom; is not absolute <v:sampleDataSets xmlns="&ns_custom;" xmlns:v="&ns_vars;"></v:sampleDataSet ^ openlogo.svg:28: namespace warning : xmlns: URI &ns_sfw; is not absolute <sfw xmlns="&ns_sfw;"> ^ Note that The Gimp seems to load the file just fine, although also with an error message: Execution error for procedure 'gimp-vectors-import-from-file': Failed to import paths from 'openlogo.svg': Error on line 17: Entity name 'ns_extend' is not known Also, Iceweasel seems to load the file fine since it displays correctly. While I'm no expert in XML stuff, I see in the following lines at the top of the file that the problems might relate to some Adobe-specific namespace rules (or extensions, or whatever): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 10.0, SVG Export Plug-In . SVG Version: 3.0.0 Build 77) --> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd"; [ <!ENTITY ns_flows "http://ns.adobe.com/Flows/1.0/";> <!ENTITY ns_extend "http://ns.adobe.com/Extensibility/1.0/";> <!ENTITY ns_ai "http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeIllustrator/10.0/";> <!ENTITY ns_graphs "http://ns.adobe.com/Graphs/1.0/";> <!ENTITY ns_vars "http://ns.adobe.com/Variables/1.0/";> <!ENTITY ns_imrep "http://ns.adobe.com/ImageReplacement/1.0/";> <!ENTITY ns_sfw "http://ns.adobe.com/SaveForWeb/1.0/";> <!ENTITY ns_custom "http://ns.adobe.com/GenericCustomNamespace/1.0/";> <!ENTITY ns_adobe_xpath "http://ns.adobe.com/XPath/1.0/";> <!ENTITY ns_svg "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";> <!ENTITY ns_xlink "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";> ]> Because opening the file in The Gimp transforms the svg graphics object into a raster graphics object, the vector benefits of svg are lost and thus The Gimp cannot be used as a substitute of Inkscape. We may want to make sure that this file loads fine in Free Software graphics svg-based programs and maybe convert it to either a more generic svg file, or at least something free (Inkscape might be a good candidate for this). Any thoughts ?
