Gimp version: 2.10

When I was on (K)Ubuntu 16.04 and sentenced to use 2.10 in a flatpak I found it too limited compared to the standard version, so since I plan to upgrade my 19.10 ot 20.04 before year end I just hacked my way to "full" Gimp-cum-Python support in a 20.04 VM, by adding required files copied from my 19.10. The final boss is having the Python console working (not killed that one yet).

   


I heard that some folks where installing from Debian repos (where Pythonv2 is more alive than on Ubuntu)?

Certainly can be a problem for regular linux users who want the latest Gimp 2.10.20 and lets face it 14 / 16 / 18 have some unfortunate bugs.

The state of play.

For (k)ubuntu 20.04 there is Gimp 2.10.18 in the main repo, comes without python2 support but another post gives a fix. Will there be a 2.10.20 ? That remains to be seen.

There is this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~savoury1/+archive/ubuntu/gimp Still stuck on 2.10.18 , might upgrade, who knows, but pulls in so many dependencies that I dumped it.

Debian based MXlinux (not KDE) still on 2.10.18 with python 2.7 It might update, but it is community based, depends on the maintainer.

Do you think the devs GEGL / babl requirements are hampering progress for regular users ?

As far as kubuntu 20.04 is concerned, I running in a VM until sure that it is 'adjustable' to my needs. Seems to 'phone-home' a lot Wink

Will look at it. On a freshly installed machine, any significant app drags in a lot of dependencies. Even more so when you install Gimp on KDE (need all GTK support, since KDE is Qt-based).

apt-cache depends <package> shows very few dependencies for Babl/Gegl. Given that Python2 is EOL and GTK2 is moribund, Gimp has to evolve and the missing Python support isn't due to the Gimp developers but to Ubuntu policy...
