GIMP 2.10.10 for Helium and other Stretch-based distros

stevep · 2018-04-30 01:52:59

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show … ports/gimp

note that I had to backport libglib2.0 and freetype6 from Buster, as well as many other less important libraries, to get it to build, so no automatic security updates for those, blah blah insecure blah trust, yadda yadda yadda...

Edit: users have reported that they have had to restart the X session or reboot for the fonts to return to the correct size for the theme, which makes sense considering the font libraries were upgraded.

Edit 2: Update title to current 2.10.10 version

Thanks Steve!

I will bump the thread if there is a vulnerability announced so that package can be rebuilt

Very cool, I appreciate the work. Thanks stevep!

I also have Enlightenment 0.22 backported to Stretch, if anyone wants to play around with that lightweight environment: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show … ightenment

I attempted to install the x86_64 package but it failed as it needed the new libgimp2.0. Can I backport this one or is there already a backport of this library?

@DeepDayze, it's probably easiest for you to add stevep's repository to your sources, that already has the dependencies you need.

Run this command to generate the entry:

sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stevep.list <<<'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/stevenpusser:/gimp-2.1x-backports/Debian_9.0/ /'

Then download and add the key:

wget -nv https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:stevenpusser:gimp-2.1x-backports/Debian_9.0/Release.key -O Release.key
sudo apt-key add - < Release.key
rm Release.key

Finally update the database & install:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install gimp

If you already have GIMP installed then `apt upgrade` should do the trick

great thanks HoaS.

DeepDayze · 2018-05-02 00:22:42

was wondering if stevep can backport gimp-plugin-registry as well if he can. No rush though

They're the same version across all the branches:

https://packages.debian.org/search?keyw … ection=all

Why doesn't APT like it?

aptitude why-not gimp-plugin-registry

ohnonot · 2018-05-02 18:34:05

weird, archlinux is still on 2.8 and 2.10 isn't even in AUR...
is there something special about this version, apart from being the newest? is it even a release version?

Here's the result of that command:

~$ aptitude why-not gimp-plugin-registry
i   gimp-plugin-registry Breaks   gimp-save-for-web
i   gimp-plugin-registry Provides gimp-save-for-web

I think there may be a compatible version of the plugin registry in that gimp-edgers PPA. I'll see about adding that to my repo. And a compatible gimp-help if I can find it.

Also some report that after the freetype and fontconfig upgrades, restarting was needed to get rid of teeny font syndrome.

Thanks, I will then test that package on my laptop that has stock Helium installed to see if it works for me. I have GIMP 2.10 on my Bun-Sid (Bunsen Helium dist-upgraded to Sid) box and it works fine and no packages were removed in that install.

Not sure about that, I think that may be because there are more Debian maintainers, Arch doesn't have that many packagers.

There is now an updated gimp-plugin-registry in the OBS repo, and I just added an updated gimp-gmic.

Hi Steve thanks for but encounter another error when attempting to start the new GIMP:

~$ gimp
gimp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgegl-0.4.so.0: undefined symbol: babl_process_rows

Maybe another library needing an update?

redrobo66 · 2018-05-10 23:08:51

You could also install the Gimp 2.10 flatpack of course.
