GIMP 2.6 release on FTP

[Half-Left]

GIMP approaches the next stable release and only a handful bugs are left to be fixed before GIMP 2.6 is ready.2008-09-17

ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.6/

2.6 here already, great news

If you want to compile manually I can show you how so just ask.

Building GIMP from Source

Firstly sudo apt-get install build-essential

Latest babl ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/babl/ <--Install first
Latest GEGL ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gegl/

Both of these should be ./configure --prefix=/usr

Then the following packages(some I have forgot, sorry but GIMP configure will tell you )

libgtk-dev
xserver-xorg-dev
python-2.5-dev
intltool
libgnomeui-dev

Remove your GIMP2.4 packages and run ./configure --prefix=/usr then make then sudo make install in your GIMP-2.6.0 directory. Run make clean to clean your directory after. Good luck

Hopefully this will make it into getdeb.net along with it's dependencies.

.deb is online at getdeb

Somebody post the main getdeb GIMP deb please? Getdeb is not serving up the file here...I got all the other files except that one.

[binbash]
