1. @sping: I haven't hunted down the bug, but your patch, that hit upstream (http://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/commit/configure.ac?h=gimp-2-8&id=53d82447136a6a5b8bc87f2d49dde936e8a65ff9) was committed with an obvious typo, that causes 'configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-bzip2' 2. unless I'm missing something, *all* of gimp's la files have no use at all and should simply be removed by the ebuild
Excellent catches, thank you! + 04 May 2012; Sebastian Pipping <sping@gentoo.org> gimp-2.8.0.ebuild, + +files/gimp-2.8.0-bzip2.patch, gimp-9999.ebuild: + Fix bzip2 use flag support, remove .la files (bug #414525) + I have forwarded the patch upstream, see <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672052#c3>.
