Look around in ubuntu forums. I think i've seen guides for at least git builds. 10.4 is new enough that you need to build just babl, gegl and gimp from source. If the instructions you find are for git, skip any git bits, extract your sources from respective tar-s and substitute ./autogen.sh with ./configure > Alternatively, are there any plans to provide binaries to this version > anytime soon? All binaries are provided by 3rd parties. There is an ubuntu PPA already that keeps up with git. This release is most likely going to be among them. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
