--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Test Update Notification FEDORA-2005-579 2005-01-06 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 3 Name : gimp Version : 2.2.1 Release : 0.fc3.1 Summary : The GNU Image Manipulation Program Description : The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a powerful image composition and editing program, which can be extremely useful for creating logos and other graphics for webpages. The GIMP has many of the tools and filters you would expect to find in similar commercial offerings, and some interesting extras as well. The GIMP provides a large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and anti-aliasing, and conversions, all with multi-level undo. The GIMP includes a scripting facility, but many of the included scripts rely on fonts that we cannot distribute. The GIMP FTP site has a package of fonts that you can install by yourself, which includes all the fonts needed to run the included scripts. Some of the fonts have unusual licensing requirements; all the licenses are documented in the package. Get ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts/freefonts-0.10.tar.gz and ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts/sharefonts-0.10.tar.gz if you are so inclined. Alternatively, choose fonts which exist on your system before running the scripts. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This is a major update (2.0 -> 2.2) which I did because upstream made 2.2 to be binary compatible. Still I'd like to have as much feedback as possible, especially if there are regressions compared to the 2.0 packages. I plan to release this as a final update by end of next week (Jan 14th). --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Wed Dec 29 2004 Nils Philippsen <nphilipp@xxxxxxxxxx> - version 2.2.1 - pygimp-logo.png included in tarball again * Mon Dec 20 2004 Nils Philippsen <nphilipp@xxxxxxxxxx> - version 2.2.0 - include pygimp-logo.png missing from tarball * Fri Dec 10 2004 Nils Philippsen <nphilipp@xxxxxxxxxx> - use xsane plugin (un)install script if available * Mon Nov 22 2004 Nils Philippsen <nphilipp@xxxxxxxxxx> - version 2.2-pre2 * Thu Nov 18 2004 Nils Philippsen <nphilipp@xxxxxxxxxx> - obsolete fixed gimp-perl version to be able to reintroduce it at a later point - use correct dir in source URL --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/3/ 3a62dfcefe989eb033a6b8c53c8e1c16 SRPMS/gimp-2.2.1-0.fc3.1.src.rpm ea5228cdba83337a60582132fe6b9cce x86_64/gimp-2.2.1-0.fc3.1.x86_64.rpm f91598489c5f790479963c2c13e99384 x86_64/gimp-devel-2.2.1-0.fc3.1.x86_64.rpm 31a7f39cdf8ad2be56650b6f53a9f7bd x86_64/debug/gimp-debuginfo-2.2.1-0.fc3.1.x86_64.rpm 7b0a23fdcd16e30d89d80b826af7c9e8 i386/gimp-2.2.1-0.fc3.1.i386.rpm aa0910be630bee1e64b3b0cb4cb8948f i386/gimp-devel-2.2.1-0.fc3.1.i386.rpm a0c299a961f0d15974af6a913e2b9fce i386/debug/gimp-debuginfo-2.2.1-0.fc3.1.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command.
