GIMP 2.8.6: Any chance for Saucy?

**thotz** · August 24th, 2013

For all those waiting: I have made some time ago a bug report that GIMP 2.8.6 should be included in saucy.

Please see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...p/+bug/1207734

Just to let you know. I have looked about several bugs, help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gimp gimp-data-extras gimp-plugin-registry

There. Latest version of Gimp at your disposal.

Sweet! Thanks!

For some reason, I couldn't shrink the Toolbox Dialog in 2.8.4 -- had to close it, or push it off-screen, to do any work.

Toolbox works fine, in 2.8.6

I have meant that it should be available in the official packages in saucy. But maybe we are already too late.
