Just wondering if we've got an established procedure or schedule for upgrading the various rendering and rasterizing dependencies, such as librsvg, ImageMagick, etc. on a regular basis?
I ask because http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10207 ("Upgrade librsvg to version 2.18.0", which was also a request for 2.16.0) doesn't strike me as something we should need to repeat each time a new version comes out.
librsvg upgrades, in particular, are useful, because they often fix various upstream SVG rasterization bugs.

Not really, at the moment. :P :)

We'll have to make sure it doesn't interfere with other packages on the new Ubuntu setup, but hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to keep up that way.

I made a rasterization regression test a while back while I was doing some playing with using Inkscape or Batik rather than SVG. Basically it rendered a large number of SVGs with the target renderer and measured the difference of the rasterized output with a stored copy done by rsvg.
If I spruce it up some will we use it?

Have I mentioned I love you, Greg? :)
That would be fantastic...
