AppImage for 2.10.38

[luisflorit]

Hi,

I have upgraded to Fedora 42, and GIMP 3 breaks all my plugins and script-fu, so 2.10.38 will be my last GIMP version.

I have been looking all day for an AppImage for 2.10.38, but all the ones I found did not work with Fedora 42.

I've found a 2.10.25 from 2021 that works: 2.10.25-20210610-withplugins-x86_64.AppImage

But this is way too old, I am sure it will break soon.

Does anyone can recommend a self-contained AppImage version 2.10.38 (or close) for Fedora?

Thanks!

No replies ? - I am loath to comment since I use kubuntu and never go near Fedora, however.

Probably the only other that might work with Fedora is https://github.com/ivan-hc/GIMP-appimage...ous-hybrid - have you tried that one ?

That is all that I know of apart from some debian based versions.

Yeah, a great appimage, I wonder what happened to Carmelo, hope he is ok. It might break, it does have system dependencies, a glib update can break it. Then a bit old for things like the gmic plugin.

Is it still possible to install a Gimp 2.10 flatpak in Fedora ? An alternative, maybe a VirtualBox VM, running a light version of linux with Gimp 2.10

Hopefully some one will come up with better information.

YES! That one opened just fine. I will report later if I detect some instability.

THANKS!

Hi, I decided to look at making my Gimp 2.10.38 appimage  work on Fedora 42. I already had 41 so upgraded it and tweaked it to work on the last Fedora. I'm sure I'm the first person to use MathMap on Fedora 42.   An advantage of doing this is it's a clean system - nothing for Gimp to do wire read checks on. That means it's easy to read all console output. I can see some requests for libs and they are all spawned by GEGL. They are high level maths libraries and every dependency has more dependencies. I realized this last year when I made the 2.10.38 appimage. I'm not sure if I'm going to chase every one of these GEGL deps down a rabbit hole or not. I have other things to do.
It seems Gimp got dragged into a big external dependency strategy and I'm surprised people worked-out how to make GEGL use all these scientific-style libs. 

So I may follow this dependency avalanche to it's end or just keep it simple. I Haven't decided.

BTW. I haven't uploaded the Fedora 42 supported appimage yet.

I just patched the appimage so it also works with Fedora 42 and uploaded.

I may come back to adding those GEGL libs but I really think GEGL should have it's own gui and be a stand alone image program. I noticed some of the GEGL effects are now made with AI.
