Hi Pierre, I remarked a few days ago that I thought we should separate pycairo into two versions. http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-dev/2020-February/037111.html And I built pygobject2 and pygtk last week (for gimp) using old pycairo. In the end I decided that the dependencies for gegl include both versions of pycairo at the moment (i.e. while gimp is still 2.10). For gimp-2.10, disabling python severely reduces the usability for many people. ĸen -- We had folksingers in the lower bar for six months back home where I worked.
