Yes, GNOME infrastracture doesn't provide us a search option. Archived copy of the list at gmane does, though: http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.gimp.devel Perhaps we should specifically link to it from http://www.gimp.org/mail_lists.html.

The download never finishes although Chrome reports it's 100% done. And I did try different mirrors. So this could be a case of corrupt ZIP file. > The other problem I have with Gimp: The ufraw which is integrated in 2.6 > GIMP (my operating system is Mac OS 10.4.11) cann't read correctly the raws > of my camera.

There are no Mac builds of UFRaw to the best of my knowledge. Newer version of UFRaw is part of GIMP 2.8 builds for Mac as I was given to understand, but it probably won't work on your older Mac OS X version. I don't see a simple solution for you. Perhaps we could make use of the access to virtual machines running various versions of OS X and build 2.8 for older OS X.
