 I've just switched gnome-color-manager in git master to require lcms2.
 The author of lcms has switched development efforts to lcms2, and now
 lcms1 won't get any new features or anything other than security bug
 fixes. lcms2 is however parallel installable with lcms, so that makes
 it easier on projects that already depend on lcms to migrate at a good
 point.
 
 lcms2 is quite a lot faster in my benchmarks, and does allow us to do
 some cool things, namely manual calibration without a specrophotometer
 (like OSX). Expect funky screenshots in the near future.
 
 I hope this is okay, and should also give the few remaining distros
 (cough, debian, cough) a push to finally package lcms2.

I realize now there has been no formal request to have lcms as an
approved external dependency, probably because by the time it was
requested I had a look and liblcms looked old, stable, and available
in all distributions.

Looks like this is not the case :/ So I'd like you to add liblcms to
http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointThirtyone/ExternalDependencies and an
entry in jhbuild moduleset; thanks!

Right, I think even the GIMP has needed lcms for quite some time.

Okay, sure thing. I'll do so this morning.

Richard.
