New comment by reback00 on void-packages repository

Comment:
Manual.md says `$KDE_SITE="https://download.kde.org/stable"`, but the url starts with `https://download.kde.org/unstable/`. So can't be done. At least until it gets to `/stable` url.

> Can we wait until it enter stable?

Well, this package is fairly simple and it seems to be working fine. So I thought of creating this PR. Void had 0.9x.y version of Inkscape for a long time on the repo. It crashed at least 2 times a day when I used it, even with basic normal functions like creating shapes, ordering them, changing colors etc. I haven't used v1 of inkscape that much, but it crashed at least 1 time with light use. I have to save aggressively to get through the day. This package seems to be more stable than Inkscape. :) I've tested it ~15 times with ~5 iso images and they were all success. Althought it is KDE branded, any distro ISO can be written, Void included, with or without signature verification.

At the end of the day, it is up to you to decide, but having more packages in the repo is something nice. It is better than Etcher, at least, because it is native and does not rely on Electron. Tools like this are handy to have. I've heard that users complain Void having lack of packages. So I think this would be a nice addition.
