Hi all, Caroline Ford did a blitz-triage through gpaint the other day and after having a chat with her today I'd like to get some feedback on whether we should really be shipping gpaint for Intrepid. Here are some of the issues: * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209173 - If you try to use the line width drop-down X freezes and you have to kill gpaint from virtual console. * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157311 - There is an Effects menu but none of the effects are actually implemented * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262889 (and 8 dups) - gpaint crashes when you change the font * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262942 - image rotation doesn't work
Additionally, upstream seems a bit dead so I don't foresee all these issues being fixed before Intrepid is released. So my question is, should we consider dropping gpaint? Caroline and I were trying to think of some alternatives that could be used to roughly replace it. The only good candidate I could think of was krita (KDE Office suite drawing tool). We're already installing gimp (advance bitmap editor), inkscape (vector drawing), and tuxpaint ( for ages < 10 years old ). I think Caroline is going to do a quick review of krita to see how useful it would be in an educational setting. Because it's already in Main it can be easily added to the CD and I believe we should have plenty of room for some additional KDE deps it will bring in. Thoughts?
