Bug 95838 – gimp-remote without version number is missing

• Status: VERIFIED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Clock 2005-06-12 00:15:32 UTC]

I have installed MaPiVi (http://mapivi.sourceforge.net/mapivi.shtml) and running
Gimp from mapivi doesn't work, because MaPiVi tries to run gimp-remote, but
the program is called gimp-remote-2.0

On a Linux from scratch system this problem didn't exist.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install MaPiVi
2. Mark some pictures
3. press ctrl+e

Actual Results:  
Cannot run gimp-remote...

Expected Results:  
GIMP startup

Sorry, we don

[Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-06-12 00:18:40 UTC]

Sorry, we don´t support packages that are not in portage. You´ll have to solve
it yourself. 

[Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-06-12 00:19:27 UTC]

P.S. Symlink seems like an obvious workaround. 

[Comment 4 Paweł Hajdan, Jr. (RETIRED) 2005-06-12 01:06:55 UTC]

At least gimp-2.2.6-r1 creates the symlink:

$ ls -l /usr/bin/gimp-remote
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 15 May 10 20:22 /usr/bin/gimp-remote -> gimp-remote-2.2
$ equery belongs /usr/bin/gimp-remote
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/gimp-remote in *... ]
media-gfx/gimp-2.2.6-r1 (/usr/bin/gimp-remote -> gimp-remote-2.2)

[Comment 5 Clock 2005-06-12 01:30:24 UTC]

Why don't you add the symlink into the ebuild? And btw typing "gimp-2.0 picture.jpg" instead of "gimp picture.jpg" sucks :)

[Comment 6 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-06-12 02:14:38 UTC]

As you can see in comment #3 - gimp-2.2.6-r1 has the symlink.
