This should have been gimp2 for the old version, not gimp3 for the new version...this is to avoid package renaming churn and to be able to introduce GIMP 3 alongside the 2.x packages already in Fedora. I use the same MO for Ardour, which gets major version updates more often than GIMP and whose users have a similar requirement to be able to open old projects with matching versions of the application while starting new ones on the latest and greatest. If I’m not off track, renaming the existing version to “gimp2” would at least make people install it as an update to “gimp-2.10.x” without any real benefit to them. And it would make ”gimp” jump to version 3 which is wildly different
Am I supposed to read this that over time, GIMP3 will get closer to GIMP2 and once they are identical, the switch will be painless? I don't think this is the plan.
Look at e.g. Python. How long it took to migrate and have we migrated to Python 3 when everything was ready? Hardly. There was just pain during all the years. Or look at DNF.
Introducing GIMP 3 package is just extending pain. Nothing more. If somebody wants to stick with GIMP2 for whatever reason, they can pin their version or if you want to be super nice, provide the gimp2 package.
(and would probably go against package compatibility guidelines if done in Fedora <= 40).
Why would you push Gimp 3 into Fedora <= 40? Vít
