GIMP 2.4 RC1 in F7

[gimp]After my lame bribery attempt last week for a yummable GIMP 2.4 RC1 for Fedora 7 I got some feedback and tried even the Rawhide rpm, which installed (only with gutenprint as a required update) but refused to work ("gimp: symbol lookup error: gimp: undefined symbol: g_once_init_enter_impl").

Fortunately, I found a working F7 rpm and I am happy. The package was not a result of my request, so my bribe remains unclaimed, but I still give a big Thank you! to the packager.

  1. Was on vacation last week, so all bribery in my direction was futile (then ;-). I can build the 2.4rc1 one for F7, but I prefer leaving it on koji -- I've got two bug reports up to now which would advise against pushing the RC package to the repositories.

    Let me know if that's helpful.

  3. Thanks for the comment Nils.
    I know you are the GIMP maintainer and know how to use Bugzilla, but the truth is my "bribery" was not targeted at you, I honestly not expected to see RC1 in F7 (I understand a RC2 is coming and the final is not that far) so is a sane thing to skip it.
    I hoped for an external build, just like someone a little more experienced than me get the Rawhide srpms and do a build and I found something.
