Since this functionality needs to be tested before it's deployed in the stable installer, it's forced in the unstable one (the uninstall will be optional, but I haven't implemented that yet). -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< http://eternallybored.org/ > The more campaigning, the better. -- O'Brien's First Law of Politics _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
