 Posted: Sun Dec 19, 2004 10:21 pm Post subject: GIMP 2.2.0 released! |
 |
|
The GIMP developers have released a never version of the GIMP yet again with some new promising features like using the GTK 2.4 style file selection box. For those who are waiting for it to hit portage, I have hacked an ebuild for it.

Been using the pre2 version for quite a while, it's excellent, a huge leap forward from 2.0. Only trouble is that file selector  |

| I personally like the new file selector. Does 2.2pre1 use a different one than 2.2.0 or something? |

| No it's just that you can no longer tab through directories, that and it just doesn't "guess" where you wish to open/save files from/to anywhere near as well as the old one. But then I haven't gotten 2.2 to start properly yet, so maybe it was just a bug they've already dealt with |

I REALLY miss the old "find as you type" feature from the older GTK versions. What were they thinking? It takes me about 4-5 times as long to find a file with the new one.

The download link in your ebuild points to the wrong directory. Remove "testing".
It also faults out on the following error, doesnt install.
| Code: |
cbrowser.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/procbrowser.o

It's back in GTK 2.6. In fact, everything that uses gtktreeview widgets now supports find-as-you-type, so it works in your gaim buddy list as well as filechoosers. |

Yeah, I forgot to mention that it did not work. Anyway....
Gimp 2.2 is a really nice, and the "find as you type" is indeed back. |

| Yeah, those ebuilds are probably much better than my two second hack. I just downloaded it and compiled it from the source since it failed. XD |

Running gimp-2.2 tells me that freetype (currently 2.1.5-r1) is too old. It tells me that I need >=2.1.7
I can't seem to unmask freetype-2.1.7, though. I added media-libs/freetype ~x86 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords, but emerge -upv freetype doesn't show the newer freetype.
I'd probably need to modify the ebuild to point to >=freetype-2.1.7, and unmask it in package.unmask, but I was wondering if that was neccessary. |

No you need to add it to your package.unmask. Its hard masked, thats why it doesnt get unmasked by adding to keywords.
Add:
| Code: |
>=media-libs/freetype=2.1.7
|
To package.unmask
To unmask verion 217 and 219. If you just want to unmask 217, then remove the ">"
The ebuild works beautfilly Ares. GIMP v2.2 is incredible. The changes are awesome and the engine is really stable and responsive. The drawing and painting has really been shaped up. I love the new open and save windows...so much better. The new preview functions are amazing too. I cant stop marvelling at how good this release is. Finally it is a contender with PSD now. Who knows, I may actually grow to be able to use it just as well and then can get rid of Wine and PSD and my last remaining Windows program once and for all  |

I just installed gimp2.2 and gtk2.6. They're awesome. The file selector dialog is better than it was in any previous version. And they weren't kidding when they said that windows resize faster. It's amazing.
The GIMP itself is greatly improved too. Lockheed speaks the truth.
If you do decided to go install them yourselves, add these lines to /etc/portage/profile/package.provided to keep portage from whining.
| Code: |
dev-libs/glib-2.4.0
dev-libs/atk-1.8.0
x11-libs/gtk+-2.4.13-r1
x11-libs/pango-1.6.0

| For those unmasking Freetype, dont use v2.1.9. It can really mess up your fonts. Stick to v2.1.7 as it works just fine... |

The fonts get garbled. Still legable, but things like the "a" dont display normally, the circle gets filled in part way. The "d" has the same, spaces inbetween the letters are uneven...just garbled |

That and there's this:
| Code: |
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B ] <net-www/mozilla-1.7.3-r3 (from pkg media-libs/freetype-2.1.9)
[blocks B ] <net-www/mozilla-firefox-1.0-r3 (from pkg media-libs/freetype-2.1.9)

It shouldnt be to long. Though GTK 2.6 has yet to make it into portage as well. I figure within the next few days they should be available. I would just get the ebuild yourself though...this one works beautifully...
PS: I didnt know someone made a new OoO ebuild. I had heard great things about the new OoO coming next year. It doesnt seem quite ready to use but I hear they made some really great leaps forward on speed and look...ugh, so many programs, so little time. |
