Bug 550108 – media-gfx/gimp: Should use slotted >=media-libs/gegl-0.2 dependency

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Priit Laes (IRC: plaes) 2015-05-22 05:20:55 UTC]

Currently gimp checks for `gegl-0.2 >= gegl_required_version` in configure.ac, but dependency in the ebuilds is `>=media-libs/gegl-0.2.0`

This would also pull in gegl-0.3.x (currently present in GNOME overlay).

Somewhat related to this is bug 549532

Gnome 3.16 requires gegl-0.3 snapshot for gnome-photos, ebuild has been bumped in overlay and slotted to co-exist with 0.2.

We need gegl to be slotted and its user to use the slot to avoid having to patch gimp due to other software requiring newer versions.

Bump: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/gnome.git/commit/media-libs/gegl/gegl-0.3.0_pre20150304.ebuild?id=7be4e35b9c4908c42bf2c2e703ff4fe7740e1b0a

Ebuild: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/gnome.git/tree/media-libs/gegl/gegl-0.3.0_pre20150304.ebuild

The snapshot was chosen according to Fedora's .spec after checking with Gnome upstream that we needed this.

If you do not have time to make these changes, I'll happily work on it.

gimp-2-8 branch in upstream git is still requiring gegl-0.2; master branch did switch to 0.3 at some point.

Why do you believe that 0.3 should be used with gimp-2.8.x? Are you involved with gimp upstream development?
