Re: [Gimp-developer] fact roundup
Hi, Speaking as a lurker, I think Sven Neumann's suggestion (to unsubscribe from the list) is on the right track. Yep, count me as another lurker who is interested in gimp development and not in pointless ramblings. cheers, -- David Gómez Jabber ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Actually the people on human resources don't know the meaning of most of the acronyms in a curriculum ;). a statement like this, if it really could happen, would clearly show how completely unprofessional the professional world would be and would be a very good reason for good people to take things over.

Point it is the name does cause embarassment to some who have to explain it to other English speakers more familiar with the other meanings Point is that people should worry less about names and more about software quality.

What it's weird is that you got glib-config in glib-2.10.1. glib-config is only in old versions, recent versions use pkg-config files. regards, -- David Gómez Jabber ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
[Gimp-developer] Compiling 2.2.3
Hi all, In the configuration process, i got this error: [...] config.status: creating gimp-2.0.pc config.status: creating gimpthumb-2.0.pc config.status: creating gimpui-2.0.pc config.status: creating config.h config.status: config.h is unchanged config.status: executing depfiles commands config.status: executing intltool commands sed: -e expression #5, char 24: unknown option to `s' sed: -e expression #5, char 24: unknown option to `s' sed: -e expression #5, char 24: unknown option to `s' config.status: executing default-1 commands config.status: executing libgimpbase/gimpversion.h commands config.status: libgimpbase/gimpversion.h is unchanged config.status: executing chmod-scripts commands config.status: executing sed-po-makefiles commands After that, if i try to compile, it fails, and i think it's because of the above sed error. I have sed 4.1.2 installed.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Why not allow the name to be configurable? [was [Bug 160890] Change Gimp name (fwd)]
Hi Alan, I don't think it is a good idea to change the project name. So you kind of answered to yourself... It is a good sign that the gimp has improved so much that people are only left with the name to complain about :) I don't complain about the name. I think it would be a fair compromise to accept patches that make it easier for those who would like to configure the name. That a non-sense claim. I think that people that get offended by a name have deeper problems. And they should worry first about them instead of changing everybody's minds to their way of thinking. I answer to you, because i work on a window manager with a name that could be considered offensive by spanish-speakers with similar ideas to the users who claim that gimp should change its name. But we didn't intend to offense anyone when we choosed the name, it was just a joke. People who complained about the name understood this when we explained it to them. If a project as big as Mozilla Firefox allows it name to be changed, why would it be an issue for the gimp? There was another project called Firebird, so there was a good reason to change it. Why require people to fork or maintain their own patchsets for the sake of a little extra configurability. I wouldn't call it configurability.
