My point was not to bring Gimp2 into Fink, Gimp2 is
already part of Fink, but as it is unstable it is
available only for Developers.
I installed Gimp2 from the official web site about a
year ago and deinstalled Fink's gimp1, but what now?
Every time a new version is out, I have to update it
manually! What a work. For whom is an unstable Gimp2
in Fink useful?
My point is: Please make unstable packages generally
available for testers and users in binary form.
This is all explained on the FAQ, and I believe the wiki. Fink is a
build from source project. Pre-compiled binaries are a nice bonus we
try to provide, but that is not how the project was designed. gimp2
is not available to only 'developers', but to everyone. It just needs
to be compiled. Right now binary updates must be done by hand, and as
there are often bugs in the packages that need fixing, it takes a
very long time to do it right. We are slowly working on a way to have
everything automatic, but, we are volunteers, and it is low on our
radar. If you want gimp2 (or any package) to one day make it to the
stable tree, we need feedback. I maintain almost 100 packages, and
have gotten no feedback on *any* of them (except 2 bug reports) for
at least a year. In summary: 1) install the devtools, 2) build the
packages you want to use, and 3) send emails to the maintainers
telling them how it works so it can be moved to the stable tree.
