We'll be glad to work with people who want to maintain a PPA that isn't broken, up to date DMG's and so on. But we won't do packaging. We have no time for that. > graphicsall.org. They seem to have quite up-to-date builds of GIMP (although > I'm surprised to see a built of 2.7.5, while the latest developer version is > 2.7.4...). What's surprising about that? :) As soon as a release is tagged in Git, the code in Git gets a version bump, so if you run GIMP from Git master, it _will_ claim to be 2.7.5. Only now it probably already claims to be 2.7.6 or 2.8rc. > Also please keep in mind, that I'm honestly not here to nag, but to support > GIMP development. On that my only comment is: I wish you spent as much time contributing as you spent proposing :) But that's just my little personal attack :) Alexandre Prokoudine http://libregraphicsworld.org _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
