Description Kelly Price 2007-07-14 18:24:37 UTC 
Ebuilds of media-gfx/gimp require use of the older gimp-print 4 package when using the "gimpprint" use flag.  However, gimp-print has ended with version 4, and overtaken by GutenPrint as of version 5 (same project, new name and new code).  Testing requires removal of "gimpprint" from the use flags in order not to downgrade the code (and thereby print quality).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge gimp with gutenprint (ebuild in gimp-print version 5.0 or above) installed.

Actual Results:  
Gimp ebuild demands gimp-print 4 to be installed, downgrading from Gutenprint.

Expected Results:  
Gimp should not require the downgrade -- it should of taken it up natively.

http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net has details on the change-over.

Use gimp-2.3.x if you want this.
