Is there not a debian package of gimp?
I looked in the stable source and binary locations for a package of gimp (Graphic Image Manipulator). This package is under the GPL, so I would expect it to be there. Am I overloooking something? -- Stan Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED]404-996-6955 Factory Automation Systems Atlanta Ga. -- Look, look, see Windows 95. Buy, lemmings, buy!

This package Stan is under the GPL, so I would expect it to be there. I'm the new maintainer of The GIMP. There is currently a set of packages for GIMP 0.54 (gimp-smotif et al).. I've made packages of 0.99.10, but there are problems with the patent of the LZW compression, so I have to figure out how to separate things properly. If you'd like an interim version (with gif and tiff support, so you'll be breaking the law, you naughty boy) you can check out http://zarf-mouse.aca.imsa.edu/~che/debian/gimp/ for lots of fun toys. -- Brought to you by the letters O and B and the number 2.

Uh, no need to split things up at all. According to the Unisys LZW FAQ, you just need to contact them. If your software is free, so is LZW. http://www.unisys.com/LeadStory/lzwfaq.html You do, however, need their permission to redistribute, even though it is not being charged for.

Ah, yes, but the policy is still restrictive, so either all of GIMP goes into non-free, or I have to split off the bits with a restrictive licence into non-free, even with permission from UNISYS. Only truly freely available software can go into the main distribution. -- Brought to you by the letters M and V and the number 17. It is sad. *Campers* cannot *dance*.
