Package: gimp Version: 2.2.1-2 Severity: wishlist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Hello, I think that it would be a good thing if GIMP could use libcurl to download file from the web rather than wget. Wget was not written for this purpose, I mean not to be used by other programs using system calls but libcurl is the perfect library to download file from the net. More over wget is known to be very buggy and to have a lot of security bugs. All wget security bugs apply to Gimp since it use it. So I want to know if it possible to switch from wget to libcurl in future version of Gimp. Thank you and good bye. - -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-k7 Locale: LANG=fr_FR, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR (charmap=ISO-8859-15) (ignored: LC_ALL set to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Versions of packages gimp depends on: ii aalib1 1.4p5-22 ascii art library ii gimp-data 2.2.1-2 Data files for The GIMP ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.16-6 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libasound2 1.0.7-4 ALSA library ii libatk1.0-0 1.8.0-4 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libexif10 0.6.9-4 The EXIF library allows you to par ii libexpat1 1.95.8-1 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libfontconfig1 2.2.3-4 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.3 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgimp2.0 2.2.1-2 Libraries necessary to run the GIM ii libgimpprint1 4.2.7-4 The Gimp-Print printer driver libr ii libglib2.0-0 2.4.8-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.4.14-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-9 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii liblcms1 1.13-1 Color management library ii libmng1 1.0.8-1 Multiple-image Network Graphics li ii libpango1.0-0 1.6.0-3 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System Session Management ii libtiff4 3.6.1-5 Tag Image File Format library ii libwmf0.2-7 0.2.8-1.1 Windows metafile conversion librar ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System protocol client li ii libxmu6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxpm4 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X pixmap library ii libxt6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii wget 1.9.1-10 retrieves files from the web ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFB4uG/LrmxgA9AyhURAouYAJ9iL5pcN09TL/Zddw7Bm02c+Bip2ACgq7R5 By34GaMzBxw96KIWceHGEJM= =jpFO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
