Scribus 1.4/1.4.4

[Puppus Dogfellow]

scribus_1.4.0.dfsg+r17300.pet


confirmed to work in precise 5.7.1 and 5.5, it seems to contain (via gnewpet) the depencies 5.7.1 required of it, unless that stuff just happened to be included in 5.5. and not 5.7...

This is a real nice program. I'm surprised you didn't get more hits on it.

Works exceptionally well on Barry's Quirky Unicorn.

Thanks Puppus

Best,

Hi Slavvo67,
See this topic for getting latest 1.4.4 on 32bit system, although no pet has been posted there, some links are given to get the latest.

If you want 64bit,
Fatdog 631 has Scribus 1.4.1 and 1.3.9 in it's package Manager.
And Fatdog 700 has very latest Scribus 1.4.4.

Thanks.

- Neeraj.

libhyphen0_2.8.3-1.pet

libpodofo0.9.0_0.9.0-1ubuntu2_i386.deb

scribus_1.4.4.dfsg+r18267-0precise1_i386.deb

installed in precise 5.7.1. it wouldn't launch without the two dependencies above, and wasn't functional until i installed the 1.4.0 pet on top of the .deb. not tested beyond open, close, save so you may want to use caution or stick with the 1.4. seems okay, though.

Scribus 1.4.3 (PET) is now available here (ASRI forum) :

i couldn't get any of the scribus packages i found to work in 6t4 (and this would presumably hold true for tahr64 604/5), so i tested out ScribusPortableTest_1.5.2.paf.exe along with w1921.sfs, having recently put together that, w185.sfs, w185.pet, andw192.pet from version2013's most recent wines, 1.8.5 and 1.9.21. it appears to work well, at least in testing as limited as was done in the thread for the precise package (which thankfully isn't dependent on wine--the 30 or so megabyte file inflates and downloads, so for those not familiar with wine, it's weightier than it seems). pretty sure the 32bit lib package is necessary for wine as well, but there'd be no harm in trying it without that sfs loaded.

Are You Satisfied with Scribus ? I was a member of a team for publishing a review, each month (around one hundred pages) . It is not an easy work to do. Everyone one wants to be at the top of the review.
Anybody could feed back about Scribus ?
Apart installing well or not. Scribus run well with Puppy.
Problems appear for print...

For professional print the pdf output in Scribus -and any other publishing program- must be with cmyk profile color, most color problems in these programs is usually for that reason.

Hi,

Just thought I'd mention that the scribus.AppImage, version 1.5.2 opens without issue under Xenialpup64. It's available here: https://www.linux-appimages.org/p/1168358/.

As this version is already 2 years old, I expect it will also run under Tahrpup64.

Never having used scribus, I haven't tested it.

To be clear nobody will use Scribus
Editing documents , get items and pictures, titles organized well is an huge work. I did it during a month in 2010. We were a team of 4 persons, working everyday (30days) to release monthly review. And it was not Scribus.. we had professional printers too. It was only for internal usage (like a school).
i don't remember the application used.
But i would not prevent Puppy to have applications on shelf.
Something new would be nice..
Opinions are clever, what i would like is somebody who practiced... perhaps some users of cinelerra, for publishing 'La Mode de Paris' (Vogue) sur papier glacé 'Iced paper?? ). google translation, vite !
Glossy paper
People (ouside Linux world) use a text maker to write articles, the editing application loads the documents, and translate in printing commands (ink, police, titles borders, and so on... not really fun.
Scrrenshots : Scribus would be used not by angry workers (in a hurry) neither by expensive magazines, but for internal publications in schools or associations
