Wilber loves Apple Feed

Roadmap to nowhere

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:16:20 EDT

Now GIMP 2.6 is out and people are wondering when packages will be out. Unfortunately, things are not going very well at Wilber-Loves-Apple. What used to be a community has been maintained by a single individual (me) for quite some time now, after everyone disappeared, leaving the project at a lack of packagers and contributors. At the same time, my amount of free time has diminished progressively.

Furthermore, GIMP for mac projects are being multiplicated. Apart from WLA, there also is Gimp.app, not counting commercial project macgimp and even macports - but, last but not least least, the all-new gimponosx project that was basically created as a result of disagreements and misunderstandings between Simone (who wrote most of our build instructions) and me. I am not necessarly criticizing her for this, however since she is now offering GIMP 2.6, and since our community is being reduced to a single individual who doesn't have the time to do it properly anymore, Wilber-Loves-Apple has very little use anymore.

For all the details of this rather sad story see the linked forum thread (for some reason RSS won't let me display it here).

I hope someone will continue bringing GIMP to the mac. I may still get involved but not anymore as project leader. I wish good luck to all of those that will make it still possible for GIMP to run on mac in the future.

Thanks to theBB, we now have an updated Tiger Intel build with all the latest changes. Thanks everyone for responding so quickly to our call for packagers!

Major fixes : packagers wanted

Sun, 30 Mar 2008 11:46:33 +0100

Recently, several major problems were fixed in our build procedure :
* Fixed crashes by switching to a different theme (the previously used theme engine was causing the crashes)
* Fixed python scripts support
* Fixed EPS/postscript support
* Fixed xterm appearing on launch on Tiger 10.4 systems

These fixes have already appeared in a new Tiger/PPC build. We need packagers to provide builds for all other platforms, so everyone can get a copy of GIMP with all those fixes! Packaging GIMP does not require you to be a programmer, visit the Development section of our forum where you can get more information and get in touch with us.
